Arial vs. Helvetica
I'm on my new iMac 17" and thought the following might be interesting to analyze:The goal for me is to be able to spot the difference between the classic Helvetica font from the Microsoft version, Arial.

My guess is arial is the upper one, helvetica the lower... the lower's antialiasing is a bit less heavy-handed, which I seem to recall from... oh, hell, I dunno where.
Anyway, verdana is the shizzle, man. Much more readable than either. To my fading eyesight, anyway. :)

I like Verdana a lot, too. Especially on screen.
BTW, you're right with the Helvetica.
the only difference i find is in the capital R and G's...and i think i like Helvetica better in those regards.
WHOOPS. We were wrong. Helvetica is on the top and Arial is on the bottom.
