Most easily readable font

I'm thinking about redesigning my blog, and just wanted to know what you guys think the best font is... the one that's the most easily readable...

Looking forward to seeing some responses... Thanks..

 

Tahoma is my favourite out of the list for a web design. All three are easily readable i just think Tahoma is a little more attractive, followed by Arial.

 

Out of all of them, Tahoma is the best. However, verdana is also a good choice in some cases.

 

Yes, Verdana. To my eyes it's much more readable than Arial. In fact, I wrote all my pages originally in Arial, and I'm changing them over to Verdana.

 

I know I'm in the minority on this, but I actually detest most sanserif fonts, and Ariel is particularly annoying-you can't tell between lowercase i and l.
New Times roman is ugly and small, though. I use Georgia and the default "serif" family, but all of these are really unsatisfactory

 

I hardly ever use Tahoma, so I'm going with Arial!

 

A web designer friend who also spent time working with ads and printed material told me that a serif style font is the best if there will be a lot of text.

That would be Times New Roman / Georgia, etc..

But for short amounts of text, arial and tahoma would be great.

 

Traditionalists would say that arial is best for onscreen where as TNR is best for print

Personally I am with a fair number by saying verdana is my personal preference for on screen

 

*Cough* Use stylesheets

 

I prefer Verdana, and second is Tahoma.

 

I use tahoma in all my designs, tahoma is the best font, ever.

 

My site (see profile) has dark red bolded letters in the top paragraph of the home page, and at the bottom where there "licensed, bonded..." part is.

I just tried verdana and tahoma to my home page.

The result was that it was a teeny bit easier to read the text if at all. Was not worse anyway.

But the tahoma and verdana blurred the crisp edges of the bolded font sections, making them harder to read.

So what I just learned was that arial is the best overall font for bold and non-bold together on my pages.

 

The problem with Arial is that capital I looks like lower case L which is a pain in the ass. I see something like IIS and I'm like, is that LLS or EYE-EYE S or what?

I used to like serif fonts but I find they made my text look dull until I bolded it and added a wee bit of text width with letter-spacing (use ems and you keep your kerning).

 

I personally like arial

but it looks like tahomas the winner here
