I like Georgia and Bookman.

is it right that if you dont have the font installed on your comp then you cant view it on a website and it comes up as a default font?

 

[TheMajor]

Yes, it will use your browsers default font.

looks like arial is the choice of fonts.

i like the strokes coming off in the non sans fonts

verdana or arial, maybe you could combine it and get aridana, heh
