Jacci, the Desktop Publishing Guide on About.com posted an interesting blog entry yesterday: What's a Good Alternative to Helvetica? No Not Arial. Helvetica is so ubiquitous, and it's virtual twin, Arial, isn't far behind. I admit, a lot of my default font stacks are "geneva, arial, helvetica". I tell myself as I throw that in there that I'm going to look at the typography as soon as the layout and other major design decisions are made. And yet, there that font stack is in my designs years later! Are you guilty of lazy typography in your web pages? What's your favorite font stack?
