Verdana is one of the most popular of the fonts designed for on-screen viewing.
simple, straightforward design, and the characters or glyphs are not easily confused.
The spacing between letters in Tahoma is tighter than either Arial or Verdana, giving a somewhat "scrunched together" appearance, especially when compared to Verdana, and especially when used for long passages of text. Tahoma is still an acceptable font, but is probably somewhat less readable overall than Verdana or Arial/Helvetica for long passages of text.
Trebuchet may decrease overall readability for long passages of text. Some of the glyphs are also presented in a non-standard, more decorative format, such as the ampersand (&), which may also decrease readability.
In terms of accessibility, it is better than some fonts, but not as good as others.
Georgia is somewhat easier on the eyes than Times New Roman, although high resolution screens with font smoothing technology also display Times New Roman quite well. One advantage of using Georgia is that it is not the default text of the browser. It is easier for users to see that the designer has applied some style to the font when fonts other than the default font are specified.
