Which font is the best for reading on the web? By reading throught the articals Psst! What's the Best Font for Your Newsletter? by Heidi Anderson, and Select Easy-To-Read Fonts by Larisa Thomason, we find out that most participants preferred Verdana for the 10 point size text and Arial for 12 point size. I do agree that because i am using the Arial for my blog (didn't use Verdana quite a lot). What do you think?

    'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; and 12px, they're ez ro read i think, but not fixed, as a designer they have more fonts to pick. and for web 2.0, large font is one of its characteristics

    For the large font, 18px Georgia looks great. 11px Verdana for the content. hoho..but for english only .
    and that is the font wordpress.org used.

    PS: what do you mean by "sharp"?

    haw-haw````
    i think the tests are so interesting,
    according to me, i prefer 12pt Arial ,when i write the essay in my PC, i always use this font. by the way, 12pt Times New Roman looks smaller than Arial, i don't like it`````````

    ` Xing, i think the size of your blog font is a little smaller, i hope that you can use 12pt, or more. it seems that you use 11pt Arial````hahaha```
