Bawx Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Why would you ever change fonts for browsing? Default is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMasamune Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Why would you ever change fonts for browsing? Default is perfect. 586077225[/snapback] I just use the default too. Works great for me! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Default is perfect. 586077225[/snapback] If you're developing a website and want it make the text on your website as legible and beautiful as possible? Default for anything is Times (New Roman), and I can't stand reading that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.O.B. Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Default for anything is Times (New Roman), and I can't stand reading that. 586078100[/snapback] Agreed. Times is an awful font. Has to be Verdana, I find that Tahoma looks a bit squashed and Verdana's nicely spread out. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakej Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Definitely Tahoma or Verdana. I use Verdana for long school projects/speeches - makes it much easier to read. In my opinion, it looks more spaced out, but I'm not really sure what makes it nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

render218 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 *newb question* what's the difference between sans serif, serif, and monospace? When is each used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 (edited) *newb question*what's the difference between sans serif, serif, and monospace? When is each used? 586092651[/snapback] Sans serif doesn't contain the little projections (the parts that spread out from the ends of the strokes). Serif contains those projections. Monospace is just as it sounds: monospaced letters. All the letters and symbols are equal widths and equally spaced. Edit: Here's an example to show the serif vs. sans serif difference.

Denis W. Veteran Posted June 23, 2005 Veteran Share Posted June 23, 2005 If you're developing a website and want it make the text on your website as legible and beautiful as possible? Default for anything is Times (New Roman), and I can't stand reading that. 586078100[/snapback] Agreed, but Times New Roman isn't so bad for print outs :) Besides, for all browsers, the default 'fallback' font can be easily changed.

Jon 5 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I'm bumping this because I just installed Firefox 1.5 and it is hard for me to read some text sizes. What font and sizes do you guys recommend that are really easy to read and are larger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gertin Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Verdana, Georgia and Bitstream Vera Sans Mono. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slim_Az Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I've used Verdana & Tahoma previously on my web site then switched to Arial, Times New Roman is a bit to Roman for me :| Not sure which one is most readable overall, but i find Arial pretty appealing and readable.

Digital.K Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Segoe UI because I have an LCD with cleartpye enabled, and I have it set to systemwide defualt and browser default, this is the best font IMO ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopyaedoff Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I find that Times new roman looks terible on websites and that arial is the best font to use. And the best apple font is either Apple Garamond 9pt or Lucida Grande 9pt or AquaBase (that one has all the apple symbols in it) 10pt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serafins Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 do anyone try out the 3 new MS sans fonts : Calibri, Candara, Corbel ? Corbel is the most readable in smal to very smal size, absolutely no cluttering. Calibri looks good from smal to medium and even large size. Candara look like more spaced Segoe UI. and 2 new MS serif fonts : Cambria and Constantia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
