About Fonts....
Let us start with what a font is?
...as described extensively in Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_font

A computer font is an electronic data file containing a set of glyphs, characters, or symbols such as dingbats. Although the term "font" once referred to interchangeable typefaces using mechanical components such as a typeball element or a daisy wheel, most modern fonts are used in computing. There are three basic kinds of computer font file data formats:

• Bitmap fonts consist of a series of dots or pixels representing the image of each glyph in each face and size.
• Outline fonts use Bézier curves, drawing instructions and mathematical formulas to describe each glyph, which make the character outlines scalable to any size.
• Stroke fonts use a series of specified lines and additional information to define the profile, or size and shape of the line in a specific face and size, which together describe the appearance of the glyph.

Well so what? Nothing i guess...but know what? That is the first thing that catches my attention when i look at or read any electronic document. And over time i guess all of us tend to gravitate towards some particular font. Well i have known people who insist on using Comic Sans only. Personally i tend to favor Verdana. I have noticed that i use the Verdana font even while creating XLS spreadsheets!
Well do selection of fonts portray any characteristics or personality traits of the person? Frankly i don't know...but well it is a topic which has got a good potential to be studied deeply. (do i get an IPR on this?!)
So i have taken an important decision that all my (infrequent) postings will be using the Verdana Font
