Question Most Common Font Used In Arcades???

Hi,

What's the font you use on your arcades or what do you think/know is the most common one?

Believe it or not I have a good reason to ask such a question..

Thanks,

I'm pretty suprised by the results so far.
I really throught Verdana was it nowadays.

Archgames: You can do what ever you want for a logo. There's by no means a general anwser for a font for a logo. Totally depends on the site design, name, etc.

Just looking for opinions on what you're using for the main body text.

Thanks!

A standard font like verdana/arial shouldn't really be used for a logo, but for all other type on the page, mine is either verdana or tahoma.

archgames, I take it you've tried dafont.com?

Arial is usally all systems default text as every computer is packed with it plus the text is user friendly and clear to read too for anyone really...

Should have thought of this before. I just checked default stylesheets for almost all the arcade scripts and here's what I've got.

gamesitescript - verdana
gamescript - verdana
arcadescript - verdana
arcadesitebuilder - verdana
phparcadescript - arial
onarcade - arial
arcadempro - arial

Anyways. Thanks for your input guys.
