I use the smallest font possible, just because then if I post it online then it doesnt look like im trying to make it longer and when some ones posts the comment 'I cant reat it, its too small' I put in size 12 and the entire story grows about three pages making me feel happy. Just a thought. . .
courier, 12 - that usually gets it in the ball park of 250 words per page. And Agents don't mind it: that or times I think is standard. Though verdana has been beginning to grow on me.
Hehe, I just finished a class talking all about different fonts. Yay for art school!
What we learned:
Comic sans sucks. Helvetica rules! And Arial is a dirty dirty ripoff!
When I type up a story for myself, I use Times New Roman, size 10. After I finish typing the entire thing I double-space it, and then if the number of pages is not something I'm happy with I change the font size to 12 to make myself feel better XD

I can never stick with one font. In one story I'm using High Tower Text, size 11 and on another I'm using Bell MT size 11. I always use TNR size 12 for school b/c its required but for my fiction writing I find it boring. I like fonts that I feel look good with the story being told and really big fonts annoy me.
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.
I don't like small font. I hate like 10 sized font, but that's what I used when I was 13 and writing. How awful! I went back and changed all my documents to 12.
I had gone through your site. Its interesting. Reducing the font sizes of the words may reduce the number of pages to be used, but it may give a drastic appearance. In order to make a glamourous look please make a bigger font size with a bold look, so it may attract other's attention.
