Comic Sans is the xyzzy of this poll.
Futura or Calibri are correct answers.

I can't compare these fonts when Century Gothic, Times New Roman and Trebuchet are showing me different symbols and order than the rest

Helvetica and Arial are pretty much indistinguishable
most Science journals ask for typeface in figures to be in Helvetica, but I just use Arial because my Illustrator doesn't have Helvetica. Nobody has noticed...yet
EDIT: also anyone not voting Arial is my new mortal enemy

Assuming you're the single vote on Arial, everyone is now your mortal enemy.

Comic sans is best. It is both fun and legible.

Voted for Zapfino, as I find it the most appealing of the choices given. My actual favorite is Exocet. I love how heavy and gothic it feels, and it is pleasing to the eye (mine at least).

a sans serif monospace typeface with just enough kerning so that bolded characters don't push each other to the side in around 16pt is The Best
