I'm a font addict. I also love Tahoma -- it is basically the same as Verdana, isn't it?

I used to love Mead Bold, and I still do, but now I use Tahoma for everything, just like you.

I'm addicted to fonts too...I don't think I can pick just one favorite one.

As far as reading things on a computer screen, like in chat, my favorite is arial, just cuz it's easer to read, but some of my favorite fonts are:

avant guarde
bauhaus
broadway
brush script
futura book
mattisse
papyrus
spring
snell roundhand black
copperplate
zapf dingbats

About the font

Tahoma is one of Microsoft's new sans serif typeface families. It consists of two Windows TrueType fonts (regular and bold), and was created to address the challenges of on-screen display, particularly at small sizes in dialog boxes and menus.

Since the Tahomas are TrueType fonts, they can be rotated and scaled to any size, and anti-aliased by the rasterizer built into Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. These features give the fonts significant advantages over bitmap system fonts such as MS Sans Serif.

Designed by world renowned type designer Matthew Carter, and hand-instructed by leading hinting expert, Monotype's Tom Rickner, Tahoma sets new standards in system font design. It is ideal for use in User Interface Scenarios and other situations requiring the presentation of information on the screen.

About the font

A sensitive adaptation of a style of letter that had been popularized for monumental work in stone by Eric Gill. Large scale drawings by Gill were given to Charles Malin, a Parisian punch-cutter, and his hand cut punches were the basis for the font issued by Monotype. The incised quality of Perpetua will lend distinction to any work compatible with its serenity. First used in a private translation called 'The Passion of Perpetua and Felicity'; the italic was originally called Felicity. Widely used as a text face in quality books, Perpetua is also very popular in advertising and display work

[U2live]

this is a really funny thread, but it has a lot of meaning when you do web sites! I found some cool Celtic fonts, mostly have to use them in Flash I guess, but they are so neat. I keep using Blackadder because it reminds me of Ireland and England.
