Question Suggestions on UI Font?

I was wondering what you folks play with? I've been using the boring default Arial, and I was interested in a nice change of pace. Any suggestions?

I use Duxa with Arial Black It works fine for me & I've stuck with it.

Arial. I've tried other fonts and some just aren't that readable at certain sizes, especially since EQ text isn't exactly anti-aliased (aka it's jagged). The UI only supports a limited number of fonts, so alas, I can't use Coolvetica or Edwardian Script...or everyone's country rock star starving artist uncle's favorite, Bleeding Cowboy :P

For readability, sans serif fonts are really the best. Arial is functional, Comic Sans will successfully troll a third of the community when you post screen shots, and Times New Roman can be hard to read unless you make things a little larger. Monospace/coding fonts will make you feel like you're in a fantasy programming matrix [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Had some weird fonts on here from somewhere, like Cenobyte, and Fred Knows, or something. Some of them were kinda fun. Magic Medieval looks actually pretty awesome, but it appears to be missing characters in it. Doesn't render :, <, >, or |

Was gonna try to do something runic looking or serial killerish for my SK.

Well, messing around with the fonts just now I kinda like courier new. Makes it feel like I'm playing a mud through telnet again.

I use this font I have, called EastwoodITC, a jagged-edged, serif style font.

Not exactly sure where I got this font. It's been in my collection for going-on 20 years.
