| Your favorite fonts? Not a default poll since there are definitely way too many fonts to add to the poll... What are your favorite system fonts and particular fonts? And how many applications do you bother to customize with your fonts? Any, Safari, Mail, text editors, terminal, none...? Just curious how big variety we have here for the font preferences. |

| My favorite font is Myriad Web and Myriad Web Pro. System fonts? I'd say Helvetica and Verdana... but I dont bother customizing any.

| at the moment, Caslon or Hoefler. the kind of classic typefaces so well crafted, because someone spent a lifetime refining them.

| .. I can't decide which non-system founds would score to the top ten at the moment. In system fonts at the moment I like Verdana and Monaco, they are classic and easy to read .. sometimes I customize the fonts in some applications that I look all day - well, Adium always customized in style, text editors like SubEtha most of the times as if it's easier to read on the screen. |

| I like Verdana, but I try to stay with standard fonts (Arial quite often) as much as possible as I share my documents (Word, PowerPoint, pdf) with others and I try to avoid un-necessary issues. For my own usage, I would use more variety. I still miss a nice and light seriff font for long texts.
