Less-common sans-serif fonts

Verdana is popular, but still new to the scene. Tahoma's styleis half-way between Verdana and Arial. Comic Sans MS is oftenliked for its informal feel. Avante Garde is big and spacious.Impact and Arial Black are both designed for titles andheadings. All of the fonts in this section suffer from theproblem that most Unix machines don't have the fonts.

Verdana

ABCDE abcde 012345 &*!,.
From around 2000 until mid-2002, Microsoft distributed a set ofWeb-optimized fonts, for free use. They have stopped allowingdownloads, but still ship the fonts with Windows. Verdana is asans-serif replacement. Its lowercase letters are very large,compared to the overall size of the font, which makes text easyto read on the web.

Unfortunately, the stretching of Verdana lowercase letters hastwo drawbacks. One issue is that the stretched letters don'tlook quite right when printed—compare them to Arial, forexample. The other problem is that some people don't have theVerdana font, and these people may have trouble reading a webpage that uses Verdana. The problem is that while 9 ptVerdana is readable, 9 pt Arial is not readable, and aperson who doesn't have Verdana will probably have their webbrowser choose Arial as the substitute font.

Tahoma

ABCDE abcde 012345 &*!,.
Tahoma is another of Microsoft's web fonts. It is not as widelyavailable as Verdana or Arial are.

Less-common serif fonts

Georgia is a web-optimized serif font, but is still a newcomer.Palatino is as old and established as Times is, butlooks terrible on recent Unixsystems. Century Schoolbook, Garamond, and Bookman seem to beavailable on Unix systems, but I am not sure how widespread theyare on Windows/Mac systems.

Georgia

ABCDE abcde 012345 &*!,.
Georgia is a Microsoft Web font. It has serifs but also haslarge lowercase letters, similar to Verdana. It is a nicelyreadable screen font, but has the same problems that Verdanadoes: it looks bad when printed, and paged designed for Georgiawill look bad if rendered in Times, because of the difference inletter size.
