Well, I use {MS Sans serif, 10} on windows, and I think on linux, I use
{Arial 12}.. The default we use I think is {Helvetica 11}.. if someone has a
better font to suggest, then please suggest it and we can discuss it... But
note that it should be a font available on a bare system (without msfonts
installed and stuff like that).. for the size, 10 to 12 is pretty nice, we
use 11 by default i think which should be perfect... maybe Helvetica's 11 is
a bit big though, I don't know...
anyways, here are the defaults :

  if { [OnMac] } {
  setGlobalKey basefont [list {Lucida Grande} 12 normal] ;#AMSN Mac OS X
base font
  } elseif { [OnWin] } {
  setGlobalKey basefont [list Arial 10 normal]
  } else {
  setGlobalKey basefont [list Helvetica 11 normal] ;#AMSN base font
  }
which I think are pretty good already!
