    What's your favorite system font ?

    I tried alot so far, basic system-Sans, Mac OS-X, M$, Bitstream, DejaVu Sans etc...

    Which one do you all think looks the best on your system.

    (i.e: I like my Linux to look like a Mac etc.)

    I myself ended up using "DejaVu Sans-Book" 10pt., 87DPI, Greyscale, None on the hinting part.

    To me it look's as close to a Mac, LOL

    I usually prefer Liberation Sans, but sometimes it makes the fonts look half there, so I usually just use Arial.

    22" Samsung LCD (1680x1050) with Nvidia 8800GT at 96 dpi. I use anti-aliasing, rgb sub-pixel rendering, and slight hinting style. All of my font sizes are "8" also.

    I always use Liberation Mono for monotype. It looks great.

    I usually use serif, but monospace in terminals/editors.
