Arial! You've got to be kidding! It is a poor screen font and as has been pointed out was a 2nd rate Monotype rip-off of the original Helvetica.

Verdana, commissioned by Microsoft in a rare moment of good taste is a by far better screen font, except it seems to lack an italic version in OSX. Which is most strange.

Gill Sans should be used in small doses and not as a text font which I have frequently seen done. It is too overly geometric to read en masse.
