As for me, Calibri is what I tend to use most of the time.

I have told everyone here to use Calibri too.

Arial is so 80s! lol

The BBC not long ago "rebranded" (not sure that's the right word) and are now using Arial instead of Verdana... I think you'll might find that the 80's are coming back in fashion!

I'm not overly fond of Comic Sans but generally just use whatever the email client happens to be set to so at work that seems to be either Tahoma or Ariel, neither of which bother me as they're both reasonably tidy fonts.

But I clearly don't know how to comment so I can't

Only by myself though... and it's clearly not an issue otherwise I wouldn't have posted my short comings .

I can however rest in the comfort of my superior font knowledge... now where is brush script when you need it
