What font do you use when designing a website?

Just wondered if everyone uses a particular font for all their website designs or has a collection they often use? I tend to use verdana/tahoma for the actual html text and fonts like helvetica for navigation.

You can purchase the entire family here, it costs a fair bit though!http://www.linotype.com/526/helvetica-family.html

Please provide a link to the fonts you use (if they're not default)

I also use Tahoma and Verdana, they are most fresh and clean, along with Century Gothic (good for logos)

Also another default font, MS Sans Serif, can look quite good/techy looking

I am a total Flasher... so font options are limitless... however, readability is still important. Other than the ones already mentioned, I use Microgramma often. There are tons of places to find it but here's a quick link:

Question: I know arial has a bad rep... but i don't know why. I like it. It's easy to read. Is the problem that it's over-used? Just wondering...

I laike Arial and Tahoma. For special can use Tomes New Roman.

Just remember that the font you choose has to be available on the users computer or it will default to the closest match (usually Times New Roman).

I use sans: Myriad and Rotis Sans & serif: Minion, a fair bit for logos lately.

On page I mix and match, (between sites not on the same site), Verdana, Tahoma and Arial for variation.

I'm also liking Trebuchet MS a fair bit on-page lately with the standard fall-backs for non Microsoft users.

You should provide fall-back fonts in your CSS e.g.

font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

I love using Verdana for my websites text, i honestly can't stand times new roman (no idea why). And i just download fonts i think look good for my headers/graphics.

Tahoma, Verdana, Trebuchet MS.
