Anyone know any non-standard fonts that are easy on the eyes for web browsing? I'm getting an LCD monitor soon, and want something that's pretty readable even at small sizes, specifically either the Windows Vista font or the PSP web browser font. If anyone knows the names of these or other good readable small (but not pixel) fonts, info would be appreciated.
Non-standard fonts are pretty stupid and any freeware font you're likely to find on this website is complete trash.
You won't find anything better than Verdana, Helvetica, Geneva, Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Bitstream Vera Sans. If they look like crap on your setup, it'll be a software issue.

speaking of looking like crap, alot of times I view sites where the appostrophe creates a huge space. For instance it's would become it' s. Although when highlighting the ' acts like one block. How to fix that?

The standard fonts that Microsoft uses are designed to be easy on the eyes and highly readable.

So said the person who sold it to them. Arial is a very unbalanced font in almost every regard, imho ('unbalanced contrast' across the sizes and weights, etc.)
I know I'm weeaboo when I've made Mona my default browsing font, due to seeing it so often..

Arial = helvetica, but with some very subtle fail.
But Verdana is the best thing Microsoft has ever done.
