What do people normally use for a font?<!--content-->I prefer Arial because it is easy to see, but there are other fonts used, with the most popular are:<br />
<br />
verdana<br />
trebuchet ms<br />
helvetica<br />
sans-serif<br />
times new roman<br />
<br />
Make sure that the people viewing your site has that font on their system. Otherwise, it will go to that user's default font.<!--content-->I prefer to use Arial overall!<br />
(and all arial's branches-arial narrow, arial bold,etc.)<!--content-->For size 1 or 10pt or smaller, Verdana is the way to go. Bigger than size 1 or 10pt, Arial is nice.<br />
<br />
As far as what people normally use, I don't know.<br />

Yes, it's from Microsoft.<!--content-->Didn't come with my Windows 98.<!--content-->Just make sure you sent your fonts to have back ups in case the users system does not have the font you are using. The one plus to most of the fonts that have been listed so far is that they are present on most Windows systems.<br />

<br />
good morning from France,<br />
<br />
When you search for info do you use one or several search engines, websites...? I use several.<br />
<br />
When I need relevant info and different point of view from webmasters I post my question to several forums in order to get relevant answers.<br />
<br />
When I want to share good info I post it to several forums. To share relevant info it is not spam.<br />
<br />
To promote my software I never forget to add my sig. <br />

I like Verdana<br />
For font size="2" verdana fonts looks nice and decent. For font size="4" Gothic fonts looks very well.<br />
<br />
Well I dont know what people does for fonts. But most the time I use VERDANA or TAHOMA.<br />
