Of the new fonts they recommend, I actually really like Calibri which is included in Vista, Office 2007 and Office 2008 for Mac.
I wouldn't rely on it solely as the safe assumption is only ~40% +/- 10 of your audience has it, but hopefully in time it will be a nice alternative. Not really a fan of Tahoma, too condensed for the screen in many cases.
Calibri is always described as a 'humanist' font, which I think makes it the kind of font you'd be pleased to take home to meet mother.

- tel 18y agoThe whole suite of Vista fonts is actually very, very good. Which surprises me pretty much daily.
- Zev 18y agoMicrosoft hired Lucas de Groot to make the C fonts. de Groot's fonts are some of my favorite fonts (Thesis and C fonts are both stunning families)
- RossM 18y agoI'm also a fan of Segoe UI, which (as far as I can tell) is actually used in the Vista dialogs more frequently than Calibri. Unfortunately Calibri doesn't look great when it's used in small sizes so I tend to use Segoe as a small-size alternative.
