My default is Calibri, but I don't like it because it reminds me of trying to eat plastic for some reason. I like changing my fonts according to the mood of the story, and currently I am in love with Agency FB and it's blockiness, because it reminds me of guns, cars and skyscrapers.

But Segoe Script is pretty, too, especially in first-person, because it's like my characters are writing letters to me. c:

From cool text.com, it's like my handwriting, but slightly better.

I'm actually partial to Times New Roman, but I also like Garamond. And Papyrus is really cool. Freestyle Script reminds me something of my own handwriting, which I like, so I like that one a lot too.

Calibri has always been the default for my documents so I like to stick with it. Besides I have always thought it kinda looked cool!

For creative writing, I like Georgia and Cambria :) For something more clean and business, I like Tahoma or Verdana.

Depends on the project.

Cat Steps and related is Book Antiqua. Nothing else looks right, but I can't use that font for any other project now.

Times New Roman is school stuff because when you hit university professors start having preferred fonts you have to write in and it's a nice way to set up my documents to know "this is school" universally.

Calibri is for various RPs, usually because that's the default font when I copy any sort of chatlogs over.

Other projects tend to get their own fonts once I've been working on them long enough. Haven't hit that point yet on a lot of them.

Nyala for fancy stuff, and Georgia for more common writing.

I usually go with Times New Roman, since it's the default.
Otherwise, I like Georgia. It looks so 'clean'.
