Dear Dad,
Here is a list of common sans-serif fonts:
Windows
|
Macintosh (if Classic not installed)
|
Linux
|

|
Courier New
|
Courier
|
Freemono

I hope this helps, regarding the Mac, if Classic is installed then the

Dear Neville,
The font I use the most is 'Arial'. This comes with 'Windows'
OS
systems and is also my choice for e-mails. There are many others but
99% of people have got Arial already. I hate 'Times' which seems to be
the MS default. Where I can I always change my various software to
default to Arial. I haven't yet figured out how to change my Windows
Normal template to use Arial instead of Times without having to create
a new template. Any geeks out there who can help?

Hi Jack,
Here I have to disagree with you!
:-) I much prefer the look of serif fonts over those
sans-serif ones, perhaps because primarily I'm a traditionalist,
although not going so far as Old English typefaces I should stress! For
scientific illustrations though, yes, maybe fonts like Arial and
Helvitica are good.
Next up, if your using Outlook express, simply go to "Tools" then
"Options" and find this screen:
You'll be able to change the default font from here.
Best Wishes,
Steven.

Dear Jack,
These are helpful suggestions. Can you give a few examples of common
and/or popular non-serif fonts?
