Call me old fashioned, but I routinely use Times New Roman.

For regular writing/reading of large text I don't like serifs so the first thing I do when getting a new work computer is kill Times New Roman as the default font.

So long as it is relatively unadorned and sans serif I am fine. Which usually means Arial. Not out of any strong preference though, just better than the generally used alternatives.

As a plain font, I had a thing with calibri for awhile.

Maiandra is a nice happy simply font that has a little personality but isn't overly floofy.

Berlin Sans too.

I don't use those fonts to print up letters or documents though. More with signage, website headlines etc.

I use Arial as my default, but I hate the "unisex" quotation marks, like the ones I just used.

If I need quotation marks, I want proper ones and I'll switch to Times Roman as default.

I like the way Courier New looks. It looks like a typewriter font.

I like Arial or Century Gothic. Not fond of serifs.

We recently got the Office 07 upgrade at work and I dig Calibri as a default. I never liked Times at all.

I <3 EH! Awesome linkage.

I've always liked Georgia.

Boring...but there it is.


I really like its name origin :

I also quite like Verdana.

I could really get into the name origin aspect of fonts:
