sans-serif - e.g. arial.

Best way to specify that is with css

<style type="text/css"><!--
body {
font-family: 'arial', sans-serif;
}
--></style>

- In the head section of your document.

That specifys arial first, and if the computer doesn't have arial it will use any sans-serif font it can find.

Oh yeah - that came from some ariticle about designing for people with disabilites, so that font should be clearer for everyone.

Sorry its me not explaining things properly, I meant what is easiest on the eye/clearest for the coder, while coding.

thanks

Probably anything sans-serif as well - sans-serif fonts tend to be easier to read on screen, whereas serif fonts are easier to read on paper.

Courier or a monospace font, hands down if you mean actually to do the <coding>, like myself.
