    Can't say either option fills me with any real interest, but i voted Verdana since its slightly bigger point for point in word.

    Kindly be gone demon!

    Neither though. I prefer Georgia.. Although for a site like this, I'd go Arial. I just don't like verdana any bigger than 10px for some reason. And I think only Serif fonts look good when they are big and normal weight and non serif fonts only look good when bold big and I don't like ****ing odd numbers...

    What the deuce???

    Georgia is my fav serif, I just can't get Arial to look nice which is why I like Verdana.

    I always use Verdana for school work etc.
    It's also better for partially sighted individuals (which is why Verdana should be used a lot on websites)

    He's complaining about having Arial replaced by a monospace equiv at default font size....

    Excellent argument :rolleyes:

    *sigh*

    From http://webstyleguide.com/type/face.html

    Arial was designed for print

    At work I exclusively use Arial as most of my work and reports will end up being printed.
    I find Arial strikes the perfect balance for on screen and print performance.

    For personal stuff I tend to use Verdana, as that will mostly be seen on screen.
