Which font would you recommend for a content heavy, text heavy site?
I know that's like asking "which car is best?" without listing any
of the thousand criteria required to give a proper answer.<br>
<br>
I used Verdana on my dev site until someone said it looked "deadly
dull". I noticed even the BBC has now dumped Verdana and gone with
Arial.<br>
<br>
I know the question of web-safe fonts is very important and that for
a screen environment like a website, it's probably best to go with a
sans-serif font...but which one?? A good deal of my content will be
of the type, blog posts, forum posts, image/vid
descriptions....50-500 words, no lines too long, good line-heights
used to make everything readable.<br>
<br>
I thought I was on solid ground with verdana but in retrospect, I
think my friend was right. It's a bit of a dull one, our buddy
Verdana!<br>
<br>
So...which one do you use? What does your overriding font-family
declaration look like in your theme's CSS? For now, I've gone with:<br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New">font-family:Tahoma, "Trebuchet MS",
Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;</font><br>
<br>
but I've changed it so many times, I'm not sure of anything anymore
