Favourite Font?
Do you have a favorite font ? For email I use a bland somewhat impersonal Arial, my favorite would be hard to choose between Times New Roman and Monotype Corsiva, for more artistic types I like Edwardian Script or Vivaldi and Mistral.

Courier has been very useful for me. Fixed space fonts.
JasmineUPC looks nice to me too.

I second Calibri. For people with vision issues, its readability in print is great.
For public speaking notes, I like Verdana.

Do those who disagree find it cluttered? That's the first thing that stood out to me is that the letters are all crammed together which makes me think of a cluttered desk or a teenager's bedroom.

Well, it is a font meant for headers, not body, really.
I use good old dependable Times or Palatino for body text.

Palatino has been my standby for so many years. Good solid well-space easy-to-read serif font that works for anything.
Used to like downloading the occasional free fonts for headers, like the delightfully retro star-struck font diner font. Now it is used so much that I probably wouldn't use it anymore.
