Times, of course.
I think that fonts are different for different machines. Thus a button of a
certain size might contain text on one machine, but not be big enough on
another computer to contain the same text. A complex subject which brings
great wealth to companies like Adobe. Perhaps big font houses can guarantee
uniformity of their fonts across platforms. I only know of problems, not
many solutions.
Helvetica looks terrible on the screen of my Mac, but not bad printed. I
have removed it from my machine and use Geneva in its place. Any program
that requires Helvetica goes in the trash.
