Times New Roman
Garamond 12/17/2008 5:08:22 PM |

Oh you like Garamond, do you?
I prefer sans-serif fonts myself
I wish some of these sites had huge batch downloads that you could just copy right into your windows\fonts directory instead of having to individually download the fonts, and in some cases, individually unzip each file
