Courier fonts from those mechanical typewriter days are sleep inducers. Times New Roman resmbles
a little of that but not that much.

anthony, it was not lcf who stated that times new romans is not
liked. that was a quoted text from lcf taken from the sitepoint.com site.
didn’t you notice, whenever there is a quoted text from lcf, you
will notice a grey bar by the side on the left?

anyway, i don’t quite like times new romans… just because it is
too common. i like tahoma.

The choice of Arial is not bad ; I always find that better than Times New Roman and other serif fonts.
Personally I choose Verdana whever possible because I find it even more readable.:smile:

How come you didn’t write anything about embedding fonts on the web. I’ve done it, it’s not that hard, you can see it on my blog. But I didn’t use it for my main blog because I can’t find fonts that is nice and readable.
