Don't actually mind Arial on the web, it's easier to read than Helvetica at the point size most websites use. Helvetica is IMHO best suited for print media. Arial isn't the best of course, there are other SS fonts that are nearly as common to find on client computers, such as Verdana... mind you, Verdana is becoming the new Arial, so I guess it's all relative :p

I agree. If Verdana is the the Web's Helvetica, what does that make Arial?

To any old-school Mac geek, Arial is Windows-brand Helvetica.

Damn, D.G.! ZING! He's all like "ain't nothing but no trifle-ass Helvetica." Snap!

I love this guy's sidebar heading font. Any idea which it is?

In the sidebar that is Lucida Grande. Elsewhere, he uses a lot of Trebuchet MS and Arial.
