    font ??

    what would you suggest is a good looking font for a website ??

    suggestions pls

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    Verdana all the way, although Trebuchet looks nice in Windows after you get used to it.

    errr i hate verdana that looks nasty

    i don't know what the other one looks like, but the one that i am using at the moment is Tempus Sans ITC, and that looks pretty cool

    You should use common cross-platform fonts because nobody is ganna have xyz font that you downloaded from abc.com

    better to specify a font family than particular fonts

    furby, really agree with you.. verdana all the way (not big sized however - for normal text) and trebuchet is cool too...

    and chris is right abt the font family thing..good practice...

    try using arial also... and for disclaimers, terms & conditions and that stuff use Times Roman - for the official look.
