One of the decisions to make when designing a website or blog is deciding which font to use. I think this is an important decision because it can make your site attractive or not, hard or easy to read. What font do you use? Which font do you think is best?

It really depends on the design because I think some fonts look better with some designs than others - same goes for font sizes. However, I will use one that almost everyone has on their computer such as arial, verdana, times, or tahoma, etc. It is usually one of those.

I use Times new roman for title & tahoma in main content for blog. For website verdana is accepted universally. However you can check your suitability just applying this simple technique. Write your blog or website content in MS word. Attach image if you like. Format it as per your choice. Convert the document to PDF format. Open PDF using only Acrobat Reader 5.0, yes I repeat Acrobat Reader 5.0. See the result, if it is eyecatching to others, then you can apply the font for your website or blog.

I use normal fonts. Clear and easy to read. I think people like large fonts. I think I like Verdana. Most readable.

You have to try Verdana. I use verdana b/c it is a nice size and it looks nice. Other fonts are small and you might have to increase the page size to see the words clearly, but with this font you will be able to see it clearly.

I use arial size 2 or 3 depending on where the text appears on the page. In fact most websites use arial. I did some research on this when I started building my own website http://www.pittan.co.uk .
