I'm kind of slowly working on an Audit Report today, because it is all I really need to do. And I have a bunch of hours budgeted for it so I'm in no hurry. Well I found myself switching the font of our standard report template to Tahoma. Not sure why but there is something serene in it's elegance and structure. It is definately my favorite font. So what say you ho's.

Tahoma is good. Arial is getting tired. Garabond and Verdana work for me.
But Wing Dings rock.

Tahoma rocks. For some reason, I'm using Futura-11 for my editor.(just for programming, no printing) I switched to it a while ago and never bothered to try anything else.
I went through a Times New Roman phase in the late 90s when I did a bunch of sites/logos in it. It was a dark period and I was deservedly mocked for it.

I like the Verdana typeface for small font sizes. Calibri is kind of cool too.

I'm a verdana guy myself - but most of our document templates at work are arial, which I'm ok with. |

Verdana isn't bad. I just did a side by side comparison and it looks very similar to tahoma.

I'm generally a fan of sans serif fonts. Of the options listed, I like Calibri. I'm also fond of Frutiger.

You're able to look at code in a proportional typeface? That would really bother me. |
