    Vote: Helvetica

    I love helvetica, a lot. I use it on everything, everywhere.
    Some people say certain fonts work with certain themes, but I say those people suck and they're just jealous because they don't have helvetica for Office and they try to pass off verdana as a good font. /biasedrant

    Helvetica is clear and easy to read. Georgia looks funny to me. I never use it.

    It depends on your layout which font is the best.

    There is no "this is the best font".

    Helivetica is easy and clear to read but CSM is right, it all depends on your overall design. :)

    Georgia, especially in WordPress's Twenty Ten theme, looks amazing in my opinion.

    I also like to add a "letter-spacing:1px; " to paragraph text and maybe adjust the line-spacing. I think it aids in readability.
