Ce fonturi folosim pe Web? (web-safe fonts)

[Razvan Pop]

Salut,

Marea majoritate a site-urilor folosesc Verdana sau Arial. Problema este ca sunt plictisitoare si comune... nu dau o nota aparte site-ului. Daca folosim alte font-uri riscam ca utilizatorii sa nu le aiba instalate si pagina sa se afiseze incorect.

Am gasit un top al celor mai intalnite font-uri pe Windows. Pornind de la acest top cred ca putem incerca sa folosim si alte font-uri, nu?

Poti folosi fara nici un fel de grija orice font care vine cu Microsoft Word. Si vin multe.

Spun "orice font care vine cu Microsoft Word" pt ca si OpenOffice si restul suitelor care exista pe alte sisteme decat Microsoft (Unix, Mac etc) includ toate fonturile din MWord + adaugiri.

Preferintele mele sunt urmatoarele:

1. Verdana
2. Arial
3. Trebuchet
4. Tahoma
5. Lucida Sans sau Lucida Sans Unicode

mie comic sans ms mi-a placut din totdeauna, dar nu prea merge pe web

eu folosesc verdana exclusiv pentru main text. Iar celalalt font (pentru meniuri, logo etc) e de obicei unul "fancy" care se potriveste cu tema sitului si e imagine ca sa fiu sigura ca arata asa peste tot. Ca si utilizator imi place sa vad tot verdana sau arial. Fonturile mai complicate ma obosesc in main text

Arial:

Availability: Widely available. It is probably the most common sans serif font. It is the default font for Windows, and it first shipped as a standard font with Windows 3.1.

Readability On Screen: Not the worse but definitely not the best, especially at small sizes, when it becomes too narrow and the spacing between characters too small.

Character: Has a streamlined, modern look but is also plain and boring. *For Mac users, the equivalent of Arial is Helvetica.

Times New Roman:

Availability: Widely available. It is probably the most common serif font. It is the default font for web browsers. It was first shipped as a standard font with Windows 3.1.

Readability On Screen: Acceptable for font sizes of 12pt. and up, but terrible for smaller sizes.

Character: Serious, formal and old fashioned. *For Mac users, the equivalent of Times New Roman is Times.

Verdana:

Availability: A widely available sans serif font, Verdana was first shipped with Internet Explorer version 3, when the exponential growth of the Internet demanded a new font that was easy to read on the screen.

Readability On Screen: Exceptional. It's wide body makes it the clearest font for on-screen reading, even at small sizes.

Character: Modern, friendly and professional.

Georgia:

Avaliability: Good. It is a serif font introduced by Microsoft with Internet Explorer version 4, when the need for a serif font with much better readability than Times New Roman became evident.

Readibility On Screen: Very good. It is the best serif font for on-line reading, since it was specifically designed for that purpose.

Character: Modern, friendly and professional.

Microsoft has also popularized two more fonts: Comic Sans Serif and Trebuchet.

Lucrand la un site mai aparte mi-a venit si mie ideea postului. O sa folosesc cam peste tot in el Lucida Sans Unicode, Tahoma.

Iti imaginezi ca sint cu mult mai multe...doar ca nu am putut sa fac dintr-un post ...un thread de resurse despre subiectul asta.

Cititnd postul asta, am realizat (acum) ca am folosit o combinatie intre destule fonturi: Verdana,Tahoma, Arial, Sans-Serif...; mi s-a parut ca ce a rezultat e o "chestie" mai rotunjita si usor citibila; cred ca o sa mai analizez problema.
