I was wondering if anyone has done any experimentation with different fonts to determine which font produces the cleanest notes text? Seems like a San Serif like Arial 12 pt regular would be the best for body text, but any tips on producing sharper notes text (other than the "Quality" setting) would be appreciated?
Verdana has been considered the best screen font for a while now.
Verdana(Windows & Mac). Verdana was designed especially for the screen. A wide, open sans serif, it is considered by some to be the most legible font for the web. Verdana comes on both Windows and Mac systems.
Released in 1996, Verdana was bundled with subsequent versions of the Windowsoperating system, as well as their Office and Internet Explorer software on both Windows and Mac OS. Since at least Mac OS X 10.4 it is even bundled with the operating system itself.[2] In addition, up until 2002[3][4] it was available for download from Microsoft's web site as freeware (".exe" files for Microsoft Windows and in ".sit.hqx" archives for Mac OS X) under a proprietary license imposing some restrictions on usage and distribution, allowing it to be used by end users in any system supporting installation of "exe" or ".sit.hqx" files and supporting TrueType fonts.[5] The downloadable files are still available legally from a third-party web sites; see the External links section. However, these files include only old versions of Verdana and updated versions are not available as a freeware. Verdana is also one of the bundled book-reading fonts on the iPad.
According to one long-running survey, the availability of Verdana is 99.70% on Windows, 98.05% on computers running Mac OS, and 67.91% on free operating systems like Linux.[6]

Calibri (body) works for me.
Thanks Dwayne. I'll get Calibri a shot.
