    I like Segoe UI, particularly the Segoe UI Light variant. Looks so clean and modern.

    Calibri. Easy to read, sans-serif, and mostly because I'm a writer and prefer clean fonts :)

    I haven't done any design work for a couple years, but I used to favor fonts similar to Geo Sans.

    I use the standard font in Windows 7. Seems fine to me.

    For essays, either arial, calibri or something from the computer modern typeset (LaTeX).

    if i'm doing design work, it depends, but i quite like Mank Sans

    Comic sans ofcourse? Suitable for both play and business.

    Is the default Times New Roman? I like the default.

    Depends on the situation and what kind of font is called for; I like Tahoma for my website though & Papyrus for the headers..
