There's a new font on the block, and it's called Vera, and get this... it's free.
There are four monospace and sans faces (normal, oblique, bold, bold oblique) and two serif faces (normal and bold).
It's a pretty good looking font that is well proportioned and is meant to replace Verdana, and I'd guess that it could if people were inclined to download it in droves. Which they won't, which means Verdana, Helvetica and Arial will be our sans-serif choice for years to come.

Very, very readable. And clean.

Though I'm always in favor of releasing stuff for free, the lowercase i and l seem to be too close together, it makes for a blotchy appearance in paragraphs.

Comment posting has been turned off because I don't have enough time and will to deal with the constant comment spamming. I'm very sorry and will fix this sometime soon (soon = before 2004 ends).
