What font do you use for your blog?

For the majority of content, I am looking to use a sans-serif font family for my theme. Not too sure what I will give preference to first but I have always been a fan of Helvetica.

For the logo, I started out with Brush Script I think it was then just edited it slightly.

I usually use Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Sans-Serif for body text and for headings I use Trebuchet, Lucida Grande, Georgia, Serif.

I'm an Arial kinda guy. Clean and simple and doesn't take up a lot of space (verdana and tahoma are a little too wide at times).

I lean towards Verdana most often, but I think that has a lot to do with the fact that my previous employer's corporate style guide dictated that everything had to be in Arial so I'm a bit sick and tired of it :)

Lucida Grande for me.

I use verdana since it's a system font available on both PC and Mac. Arial's a bit too narrow for me but I love Tahoma until you try to italisize! It's just a little to lean for me then.

This funny because I just wrote a long post about fonts. I'm thinking of dipping into sIFR, because I just downloaded some new great fonts but I can't use them unless I make an image out of them and I don't like to use images for text.
Oh and I use Trebuchet MS and Lucida sans Console for headings and titles.
I am so sick of the limits of universal fonts. God, 16 0r 20 fonts for the rest of my life? Boring!
I just checked the forum's CSS and saw Avant Guarde listed. I'm not familiar with that font.Going to go check it out!

Mine looks like Arial, so I guess it's that ;)

I had a program for awhile called Microsoft WEFT (http://www.microsoft.com/typography/web/embedding/weft3/). It allowed you to embed fonts in a web page. I never used it much because 1) I don't trust Microsoft products on the Web and 2) I generally do use system fonts since they are well accepted by most readers. So, I can't tell you how well it works, but it was a free download (amazing!) so it might be worth a look to you.
