I used to be a strict Arial font size 2 man... but I think I'm leaning towards verdana font these days.

Verdana all the way! When ever I see someone coding a site, and dont use font tags, i go inside and add in <font face="Verdana">$%#$@%</font> so it looks purdy.

I'm with "Verdana". It's simply the best
P.S. I don't use <FONT> tag instead I use CSS...

Absolutely ditto. I used to use Arial for all and switched completely to verdana. Only downside is that at times size=1 is slightly too small and size=2 is slightly too large for me... odd that.

Why use FONT tags?
Let's move one step a head and use CSS!!!!
Then you can set font size in pt, px, em etc.!!!

I used the <font tag, because I was in a hurry making the post
CSS OWNS

IMHO, Ariel for me because it is smaller (more characters fit on a line), but it is just as readable as verdana.

Fonts on the web *suck*. Its an absolutely, totally broken state of affairs.
Verdana looks nice. However, its not available on OSX by default, or on Linux desktops.
Its true for virtually every font out there: If it looks good, its only available on one (or MAYBE two) out of the three.
I'd really love just one font that works on all platforms and doesnt look like roadkill.

I like to use verdana allot, I also dont use font tags much I stick to css, but i'd rather uses tables than a full css website... but that's a different debate.
