User:ChristTrekker/choosing fonts for anything

Have you read about choosing Mac fonts for the web?

Here are a bunch of fonts (including many installed on both modern Macintosh and Windows systems, all scaled to the same x-height) along with my attempt at detailing when you might want to use a certain one. You're really probably better off doing this in print where you can appreciate the nuance and detail. In any event, you don't want to overuse many of these typefaces; they don't make for very readable body copy. Even minimal use (say, for headers, where the larger size will help make them legible as well) can go a long way.
