I'm currently rewriting a series of documents for work, including such things as emergency plans and crisis management procedures, all in slightly different fonts. Therefore I'm using Times New Roman 12 or 14. And italics for things good to know that aren't directly relevant, and BOLD for life-safety warnings (of which there are a depressing number).
For example: NEVER fight a fire larger than 100 (one hundred) square feet, including vertical area, with a hand extinguisher. An untrained person can put out 200 to 400 ft(2) of flame with a 3A-30BC extinguisher, and you need safety margin for your own escape. A trained firefighter can extinguish 700 to 900 ft(2) of fire with the same extinguisher</>
I do _like_ Arial because it's easier on my eyes. I tend to use it for brief signage because it cranks up to larger font sizes (think 120 or 144) without distortion.
Back when I was doing speech and debate it was Courier monospaced font all the way baby for exactly Figmo's reason . . . rapid eyeball-estimation of actual delivery times, typically by page.
I hate justified documents and hyphenation, and love a ragged right edge. I set my E-books to display accordingly. Apparently I'm rare in this preference.
