Thanks for the suggestions. The app was originally inspired by the Youtube Ogre battle video, which had a fantasy theme. I didn't want to get into any issues with trademarks or ip, hence no SW theme.

Re: the font. Hmm. Well, there's a few other higher priority graphical updates on my plate right now, but I'll keep that in mind. Can you suggest another free font?

For your website you'll want to pick something that users will be able to display and have installed by default.

HN primarily uses Verdana. Google primarily uses Arial. 37signals uses a combo of Helvetica (generic sans-serif if not present) and Georgia.
