What's the most readable font for the screen?

Share your advice.
Thanks!
 
We use Trebuchet MS on KH-Flare, though I personally also like Arial, Tahoma, and Verdana.
 
These are my settings for the message text.

Style Properties: Message Elements -> Message Text -> Size -> 13px

Style Properties: Message Elements -> Message Text -> Font Family -> verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif
 
Now I'm using Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif :)
<link href='//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
 
Thank you, RoldanLT.

Question, where are you placing the following line of code?

Code:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
 
On PAGE_CONTAINER template.
Below:
Code:
<noscript><style>.JsOnly, .jsOnly { display: none !important; }</style></noscript>

Or above <!--XenForo_Require:CSS-->
 
  • Appearance > Styles > Your Style > Style Properties > General > Body > Font Family
  • Appearance > Styles > Your Style > Style Properties > Message Elements > Message Text > Font Family

depends what for desktop or mobile/tablet devices ?

I use either Droid Sans or Open Sans predominantly :)
 
What do you think about Segoe UI,Frutiger,Frutiger Linotype,Dejavu Sans,Helvetica Neue,Arial,sans-serif ?

Looking nice to me.

*EDIT: oh, it's mostly for Windows... nevermind...
 
Tahoma is my choice now. Looks great and it's not too big.

No, it's hard to read some words. Like letters are too close. Switched to Trebuchet MS.
