I was just sitting here suffering from my insomnia when it occurred to me that Myriad Pro is my favorite font. SO what's your's? If any? any special reason's why?
Got a tip for us?

Chicago for its historical significance to MacOS (and early iPods). 
In the post-Chicago era, just about any font that doesn't crash SecurityServer or cause apps to choke.

I like the air of authority and classic endurance of Times New Roman, but my personal favourites are Garamond - a lovely, clear, elegant and classy 18th century font, and Arno, which is also clear, elegant and deceptively understated, but rather lovely to look at and to read.

I've been on a bit of an Aldus kick recently, but I really like Sabon Next, Athelas, and Adobe Jenson as well.
Comic Sans MS
Anyone who says Comic Sans MS should be banned from using the internet

Edwardian Script is my favorite.

Daily use:
Gill Sans although I have lately been tempted by Helvetica (Neue).
Sentimental favourite:
Bodoni.

The font that I use most often is Arial. Why? Because it is a very clean and simple font that I got into a habit of using. Habits are difficult to break. I use it as my default font in every program. Usually at a size of "8."

The helvetica family is my favorite. Myriad pro is what illustrator defaults to I think, I hate it

I love Helvetica. It's classic, timeless, nicely formed, even, balanced.. it's just great all the way around and is equally suited to headlines or copy.
If I was forced to choose a more stylish font, I'm currently loving Kozuka Gothic Pro, Vegur (free) and Museo/Museo Sans (also free). Serif fonts are hard to find, but Day Roman is a favourite also. I'd love Riven, if it weren't for that blasted "V"

Just got done using Museo Sans for a project not too long ago.
I've always liked Swis721 from my BeOS days. I'm a big fan of Marker Felt. Apparently I'm the only one.
Ah, mais non, I totally love Marker Felt. I use it to leave myself notes in large type. like "Pay the ATT bill you jerk" in hot pink on my desktop.
Otherwise I mostly use Helvetica. Courier new for monofont.
