    the only thing as far as fonts of characters, is the heading tags. (<h1>)

    I think font style is not for SE friendly, it is for User friendly.

    No, I don't think so, SEO more concern with unique and quality content not for other stuff like font, color, size.

    Alo too small or too large could have an effect if used in a way deemed naughty by Google.

    I have red somewhere that the color and text size of the font do matters. An example is making your font Bold or italized will matter in the SEO.

    I don not think font or design will effect on SEO, also if the site is slow by bad design will effect

    Generally font doesn't play an important role in SEO. However, if you are molding it for applying some black hat techniques like hidden text etc, then it could affect your website.

    I think font style doesn't matter in SEO, as font style gives appearance to content only, but if you use font style for black hat purpose then it will definitely hurt your site....

    color does'nt matters in SEO ,only making font bold or heading matters. And these things are important only when you are looking for keyword density
