Best fonts for topic text

Post by bdietz »

Anyone have an opinion on the best font to use for text within the topic. I'm currently using Verdana 10 point. It looks fine, but I wonder if there's anything that looks better on the screen.

I've always used either Arial or Verdana. I did encounter one Project Manager who "hates Arial", so I used a serif font for that one.

Arimo is a good one and it is a Google Font. You can integrate this into your project easily. Here's a screen cap I drummed up for you, as well as the .css I used when testing. You can set up the font family to fall back on some system font:

Code: Select all

font-family: 'Arimo', sans-serif;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
font-size: 13px;
text-transform: none;
text-decoration: none;
letter-spacing: 0.038em;
word-spacing: 0em;
line-height: 1.65;
