Nice & unformative. Iuse Arial (as Google site does) or Verdana (as WS.Net uses). However, does it matter so much?
Main thing is content-original & relevant.

Hey, Bryan.

I was just wondering if that beautiful quill was copywrite protected, or if you knew the name of the person who made the image, that sort of thing. Any info would be helpful. Thanks!

The Google Website Optimizer is good for testing fonts. Just make the font family an inline CSS style within your variation.

Have you tested each one to see the impact of another font though?

I pretty much stick with Arial because it’s clean and easy to read on any size monitor in all the various resolution settings.

I usually make sure my font matches the Google AdSense font.

The bottom line is “the results did not find significant differences between the moderately and highly appropriate typefaces”, which basically means “just don’t screw up” and don’t use Comic Sans if you are a bank. Also, you can’t do much with fonts on the net unless you are working with graphics. There is no decent cross-browser support for font embedding. By “decent” I mean font embedding that would work properly at least with IE and Mozilla browsers, would not make users download plug-ins and would not require too much extra code from developers.

I totally agree that the font and size create a difference……I am focusing on a 5o+ niche offering educational teleclsses for learning and connecting. I have choses a clean and simple font plus I have created a very clean, clear website for easy understanding…… So nice when people focus their font for their readers…Thank YOU. Barbara

I think fonts might have impact on conversion from one other point of view. Some fonts are simply more readable than others. With some fonts your eye slides over the content and the text flows much more smoothly. So if your customers read more, engage more, they’ll convert more…
