Probably Verdana. I work for an e-zine that is very text heavy and we=20
settled on Geneva for the Mac alternative to Arial instead of Helvetica=20
since it seems to be a bit bigger than Helvetica like Verdana is to Arial=20
on the PC. This solved the problem we had of text being too small for our=20
staff or readers on Macs while it was just right on the PC. I believe it=20
is also a tad more ornate than Arial or Helvetica (again like=20
Verdana). Verdana is free, readily available and probably installed on a=20
lot of PCs already.
HTH!
