    Times New Roman.

    Although as long as it's not Papyrus or Comic Sans, I'm content.

    I like Segoe UI (and Calibri) a lot. Century Gothic used to be my favourite, but now it might just be the Ubuntu font.

    I don't think I have a favourite serif font, but I suppose Georgia's all right :dontknow:

    Gill Sans MT.

    Rustproof Body is quite good (it's the DeLorean font), I like Calibri and Verdana as well.

    Wingdings.

    Has an air of mystery to it.

    Tahoma (and sometimes Georgia).
    I tend to write homework in Tahoma and revision in Georgia

    I actually find Comic Sans the easiest to read (apparently it was designed because some people find the spiky fonts difficult to read).

    I don't like the look of it though, I think my favourite for every day work is Calibri. It's softer than Arial, Times New Roman and the rest.

    That would be kinda cool but I want to get 'eunoia'- it's a word with greek origins. It roughly means 'beautiful thinking' but as i understand, it's also a pretty obscure term in psychology meaning 'well mind' or 'balanced mind'.

    I had never heard of 'eunoia' before, but it's now officially one of my favourite words! I also approve massively of the idea of getting it as a tattoo.

    Garamond!

    Smart, like Times New Roman, but with an air of 'professional author coming through' about it!
