	Georgia & Verdana - typefaces for the screen - www.will-harris.com
		Verdana does everything right on screen; it has a large x-height so characters look bigger, yet not so big that it's hard to tell the lowercase from the uppercase or that it looks crowded in apps such as web browsers that don't have adjustable leading (yet).
		The Verdana family started in early Summer 94 as a two font typeface (Tahoma), designed by Matthew Carter and hinted by Tom Rickner, to be used as a system font for Windows95.
		Just as the Verdana fonts have their origins in Windows, the Georgia fonts were conceived for the then nascent Microsoft Network as a serif alternative to Times.

	Verdana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Verdana is a sans-serif typeface designed by Matthew Carter for Microsoft Corporation, with hand-hinting done by Agfa Monotype’s Tom Rickner.
		Released in 1996, Verdana was bundled with subsequent versions of Microsoft's Windows operating system, as well as their Office and Internet Explorer software on both Windows and Mac OS.
		Precisely because Verdana is so readable at small sizes, some have suggested that web authors not specify the use of Verdana on a web page [1][2].

	Don't smoke Verdana! - Arve Bersvendsen
		Verdana and Georgia are so popular, especially at small sizes because their aspect values (x-height/font-size) are so high, which makes them so legible at small sizes.
		Due to Verdanas readability at small sizes, people often use Verdana in the size range 9 to 11 pixels, and on this system, I often end up with webpages that are unreadable to me, simply because the fallback fonts appear too small.
		Verdana and Georgia are the only widely used fonts that are specifically designed for the screen and are much easier to read than any others (and I have to emphasize the “widely used”).

		In its proportions and stroke weight, the Verdana family resembles sans serifs such as Frutiger, and Johnston's typeface for the London Underground.

		Despite the quality of the Verdana font family at small sizes it is at higher resolutions that they are best appreciated.

		Verdana is the wide font, Tahoma is the tight font.

		Verdana is, in fact, slightly wider than Tahoma as well.

	When To Use Arial And When To Use Verdana (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		Both Arial and Verdana are SANS SERIF font, and as clearly explained in my recent article both fonts lend themselves well to be used in "information" uses rather than in telling stories.
		As Verdana is particularly effective when used at very small font sizes, Arial stands out as the clear leader when needing to creating readable and professional looking titles.
		Overall Arial is a more formal and established font face, while Verdana is a highly characterized and optimized typeface best used in those instances where electronic display at very small sizes makes short text-based information items hard to read.

	Web Matters - Why you should avoid Verdana
		Although the Verdana font is widely used on the web, it is actually a poor choice of font for authors to specify.
		The reason for this is that Verdana was originally developed to be legible when very small font sizes were imposed.
		The problem here is that if the reader does not have Verdana, he gets text which is smaller and less legible than preferred, as this sentence probably appears to you (though it depends somewhat on browser details).

		With Verdana, Tom had to apply hints in such a way as to reproduce the bitmaps which Matthew had created, while still faithfully rendering the outlines at all other sizes.
		In some rare cases, the bitmaps which Matthew had designed were too radically different from the outlines, and so the bitmaps had to be modified.

	Mac OS to Lose Georgia and Verdana? \| Typographica
		Verdana is not the be-all and end-all of screen fonts, in fact it has several serious flaws, such as the cl and rn combinations.
		And even if someone were to design the “perfect” screen font, that’s only in relation to the state of technology, and culture, which change all the time, and besides, we are in desparate need of a LOT more typographic diversity in the mainstream — diversity is becoming increasingly marginalized.
		Verdana is near perfect for aliased text, but I agree it’s not the best when it’s anti-aliased.

		Verdana is a sans-serif typeface designed by Matthew Carter for Microsoft Corporation.
		Bearing similarities to Frutiger, Verdana has been designed with computer use in mind, and is extremely readable at small sizes, because of its lack of serifs, large x-height, wide proportions, loose letter-spacing, large counters, and emphasized distinctions between similarly-shaped characters.
		The Tahoma typeface is identical to Verdana but with tighter letter-spacing.
