What is your favorite font to display websites?

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

The title says it all, what is your favorite font to display websites? Other than the default one of course.

Right now, mine is Thonburi in Firefox settings. And I do not allow to display their own font. I only wish, however, that was possible with Safari hehe

Thonburi would get annoying !

I just use default, but I suppose I quite like Segoe WP (Never tried it for websites though), or Roboto for Linux boxes, set Roboto system wide on my old mint install, looked pretty nice

[Phouchg]

A couple of my most used sites' fonts have been overriden with Stylish to Segoe UI. Just because I am that much OCD on consistency.

why it is annoying to you?

If this is the Thonburi you are using it would be like trying to read hieroglyphics

Museo

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

well, I don't have the same font I guess

[Quillz]

I like using Candara and Constantia, although Georgia is usually the fallback.

[MtnDewCodeRedFreak]

Times New Roman, if I was the webmaster.

[remixedcat]

Candara FTW... friendly and classy. Love how the numbers look in it, specially bold.

[Rohdekill]

I prefer Verdana.

My bad, I didn't see this was a Mac thread, I guess the font I found is the PC version :p

You can do it in Safari with a custom CSS.

[myxomatosis]

I love "Microsoft Sans Serif" when I use Windows ;) I hate "Cleartype"

Under Mac OS, I'm ok with the default one ;)

[Elliott]

Usually the one that the website specifies. :p If I need to make something more legible, I just use save it to Pocket to read later or use Safari Reader.

[bjoswald]

Segoe UI, Cambria and Consolas for me.

Would you mind sharing how to do it? I tried without success

that is the line I have in my custom CSS file

@font-face {

font-family: "font-name-here";

}

but I guess it's totally wrong since it doesnt work

[BoredBozirini]

Do it by element:

body { font: "Font Name" "Font Size" !important; }

p { font: ... }

etc.

I tried these 2 lines with the font Myriad Pro and size 20 and it doesnt work

body { font: "Myriad Pro" "20" !important; }

p { font: "Myriad Pro" "20" !important; }

Remove the double quotes on Myriad Pro and 20.

Do it like so:

body { font: Myriad Pro 20px black !important; }

p { font: Myriad Pro 20px black !important; }

So for divs, spans, etc.

[Xerax]

Segoe WP. But you just can't go wrong with Arial.

Try another font then. I usually do Arial 12px. If that doesn't work then Apple must have changed something, because it used to work in Safari 4 and 5 with no problems.

I tried Arial and other fonts, nothing worked. I am running Safari 6 which is part of ML. It is possible that Apple did something to Safari, *shrug*
