*really wanted to vote wingdings, but restrained myself as I rather like the Geogia font
I guess I should have mocked up a wingdings version too, to be fair!
Verdana. I don't know why, but I am not overly fond of serif fonts.
I've believe that sans-serif fonts are in most cases the best choice for reading electronic copy. However, choices are good, and I can imagine stories of a style or tone that might be more "at home" in a serif font.

Verdana. Yes, the serif fonts are pretty, and actually, I like the Georgia for that particular story...but as someone else mentioned, when reading electronic copy, or when reading electronic copy and being horribly nearsighted (as I am without my contacts), the sans-serif fonts are the only way the words can be distinguished as, you know, words and not blurs.

Out of what you've displayed I prefer Verdana, but my own choice when writing is Trebuchet MS
I think Verdana is a font much better suited to the computer screen. Georgia is a good font for printing on paper. Georgia is a wide font with serifs and takes up more space as the width and serif has to be adjusted for. So 9 pt. Georgia looks smaller than 9 pt. Verdana
I type in Wingdings, and it always causes issues when I try to post stories. It would be nice if people could see my stories as I originally conceived them.

Verdana is much cleaner looking to me.
I prefer the Verdana font, because it is easier to read for me on a smartphone screen. Where are the studies? I don't have any, but it is my experience and so non needed. The reason for that actually is that he words are further apart and I can read with more ease.
Just a quick note. Of the two the Verdana is preferable. I like non-serif styles now. In fact, the font we are using right here in this forum is fine with me, also.
Oh well, I guess I'm the only one who loves Georgia. The font is nice too.
I'd love it to be an option.
