    In the general case, I'll use a serif font such as Georgia for the larger font sizes used in headers. Due to the difficulty in reading off the screen, I'll go with a sans serif, usually Verdana for text where the size &#8804;16px/12pt.

    The larger ex:em ratios of these font families make the screen renderings easier to read.

    cheers,

    I would stay away from serif fonts, times, times roman, etc.

    Personally I like most fonts in the sans-serif families. Verdana, Trebuchet, Arial, for smaller or larger styles. They are more readable and don't get as smashed or blocky.

    Trebutchet MS, Georgia, Helvetica is my favorites.
    Depends a bit on the exact size

    I think that Trebuchet looks good.

    Don't you think so? :D
