10-point verdana. I find its screen legibility even better than calibri.

Either Arial Narrow or Century Gothic. Although I often switch to Verdana size 10 there and then.

Bitstream Vera Sans and Bitstream Vera Sans Mono. The menus on my desktop are in Blippo.

Courier. Forever! For all the reasons, emotional and practical, that others have cited. Also, I stay away from Courier New, which is a bastardized version of Courier. There’s a meaningful difference between the two: CN uses a much thinner stroke, so it looks washed-out and hard to read on the screen and on the page. If you’re a Windows user, you’ll have to find and download Courier proper, but it’s worth the trouble. Fun question!

This reminds me of when students ask me what my favourite font is, hoping to get an extra mark on their submissions. I’ve never felt attached to any particular font – but am known to use Comic Sans in study notes so I can see which students are sucking up when the assignments come in…

Garamond. Sometimes verdana. I learned to type in high school and I can leave high school and Courier happily behind. I’m curious now about Calibri.
