I'm on Linux, so I don't actually have any of those fonts except Arial and Times New Roman. The rest just get mapped to Serifs, and I think Verdana gets mapped to Helvetica.

If a HTML page uses proper font faces I'll still get monospace, serif, sans-serif and stuff, but if it uses literal font names I'm SOL.

definately fixedsys. it rocks.

But I'm too lazy to change from the default font.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Garamond is pretty unreadable. I'd pick that one.

Yes I know, but arial is worse. I didn't say garamond was good for the screen, I just said it was an excellent font.

Yeah, I know for a fact Garamond is used in the Harry Potter books.

And Century Gothic is my favorite font. It just looks awesome.

There's a whole Facebook group dedicated to it..."Stop Using Comic Sans." Yes, though, I realize the nature of your post was sarcastic.

the problem with comics sans is that even as a comic book font, it's terrible

verdana should look good as long as it's not too large, it was designed specifically for screen usage (arial and helvetica were not) as a body text
