What font do you use?

[Johnnyftw]

I was wondering if there are any nicer fonts that i might not be aware of.. I dont care much for Sans or Droid.

True, Droid is to spaced out. I just stick with Sans and make all default settings except Bold

I use Verdana, nicely rendered.

I use Verdana, nicely rendered.

I'm using Verdana with no hinting and it looks good. Thanks.

Never paid that much attention to the font.

Is there a technical question in here somewhere or are you just curious ??

BTW, "sans" is short for "sans serif". In other words, "without those little tail thingies on the letters".... :)

Segoe UI, all set to 8pt font. IMO, the default 10pt font size is ridiculous.

Lucida Grande, 10pt. Others that look really nice include Verdana and Segoe UI (already mentioned), Frutiger or Wunderlich. If you like serifs, Palatino ftw. If you are a Freedom Purist, the DejaVu fonts are nice enough (actually I use DejaVu Sans Mono as my default fixed-width font).

It really depends what you use the font for, though. I don't really like Helvetica as an "interface" font, but it's ok for web pages (though I use Lucida Grande for that too).

Sans 10 best contrast setting.
