Choosing a font

[RickVS]

My website here: www.woodworkingmagazineindex.com has a font on the home page for text. It's been there a long time. I've been thinking recently that it may be better to change it; I think it is a little difficult to read. Can you recommend a better font for this page? Thanks!

I wouldnt have any dramas with verdana being readable. but it is a boring font.

try google fonts if you are after something a bit different.

well the main content on the frontpage is an image so you could use whatever font you wanted to, but why isn't it real text so it can be resized, found by search engines, accessible to everyone?!

I personally am a Helveltica Nue fan, its plain but it still seems like it has some FLAIR. Its easy on the eyes when trying to read on a monitor and prints very nicely too

I second the Google Web Fonts

I think mac users forget that helvetica isnt a windows font...

there is of course the pc version but not so many users will have it installed

and quite a hefty price too

I havent used a windows computer to build websites in about 5 or 6 years so yeah i forgot about it

thats OK, windows has helvetica's poor younger brother arial as a backup.

although he certainly doesnt have the same flair...
