I use Verdana quite often on my sign copy and flyers. When you're laying out massive amounts of information, my biggest concern is readability.
In first world problem news, my cable box/DVR has died. There were flashing lights and then...poof. I still have my backup DVR but I can only watch/tape one thing at a time. This also means that I am without HD channels until Tuesday.
I like Verdana for the screen - that was its original intended use - (so, Typo it's fine - just didn't know if you were looking for some alternates). I haven't used it much for print.

wah - now that I'm at a point where I can look at the new trailer, the link shows that the server is busy.
(But try not to say "Oh, not Copperplate AGAIN" *out loud,* because it tends to make people think you're (1) pretentious and/or (2) a dork. Learn from my experience and save yourself the shame.)
Heh. I used to date a guy who would name and critique font choices on billboards and other signage. I think I must have blocked out most of the typography knowledge that I had then.

Yeah, sorry. It should be back online on Monday.
I like Stone Sans Serif better than Gill Sans. Perhaps because I was forced to set an entire incredibly dense research booklet with charts everywhere in the latter.
I have a weakness for Optima. Love it.

ouch.
My co-worker has a MinionPro fetish. I'm kind of meh. Optima is lovely.
I'm a fan of TrebuchetMS for email, but I'm reading the board in Arial.
I feel like I'm at a wine tasting party. I've been going through and testing all the fonts. (I'm such a geek) Now we are moving into the fancier wines fonts though because I don't see those on Word. It might also be that I have an old version of Word. I do have TrebuchetMS and Arial though. I think I prefer the former for it's cleaner lines blah blah, and it's kick ass name.
