      I dont' know. Sometimes it's cool to be uncool.
      
      Like when the effect you want is the somewhat clumsy, common look of MCS

      For hardcopy, excellent choice.
      
      For screen display, there are better.

   My eyes like Century New Schoolbook for manuscripts.
   
   This summer I was using Tired of Courier for some exams I gave my students. It's like Courier, but a slight bit rougher, as if it had come off a typewriter.
   
   There are lots of others, of course. but readability is key in my book.

   Are you guys talking about screen fonts or paper fonts? I find that sans-serif fonts are most legible on screen and serif fonts are most legible on paper.

      I was reading it as screen fonts.

   For screen fonts, my "branding" is Tahoma for titles and Trebuchet MS for text.
   
   For text (to be printed) fonts, I tend to stay with Times New Roman, or sometimes Grammond.
   
   Of course, it's really hard to tell what finally gets viewed as the viewer has the final say... if they don't have that font, they could see arial or some other san serif.

    On screen, Verdana for text and Trebuchet MS for titles.
    
    I agree with the standard of serif for print and sans for screen.

    Depends on what the document is.
    
    Verdana and Georgia are nice, safe fonts for Web pages.
    Bauhaus is favorite of mine, but isn't appropriate for all situations.
    Papyrus is 'cool,' too.
    Harlow is in the mix for me, too.

    Much of my work is for business, and font choices entirely depend on the business and the purpose of the piece. My primary concerns are separating serif fonts and building recognizable contrasts that still work well together. Further, alignment and proximity are just as important as the font choice.
    
    I know, that helps not at all.

    ender

    depends on what i'm working on. i'm a font junkie. i'll put in another vote for papyrus for certain applications, but i also enjoy some odd ones like 1942 report, the chilada and fajita families, A Charming Font has its place at times, as does A Theme for Murder, Aquiline and Asa. (asa is my favourite for comic book lettering)
    
    then there's good print fonts like baker signet, book antiqua, century gothic and of course, there's always garamond. kabel is a nice sans serif.
