Thanks to the dreadful built-in font in my old Sony 350, I tried out a few standard fonts... but can't claim to identify the fonts in that Font Game. Except 'Wingdings', haha. Is "Mrs Eaves" really a font?

I have ended up rather liking Gill Sans, which comes standard with Apple PC's. Works pretty well both on screen and printed on 'dead trees'. I discovered a minor fetish for the shape of the letter g. The Gill Sans g is more like a typical Sans-Serif shape... lovely. ;-)

Serif for e-readers is best - and ones that are a bit 'thicker' in their lines, for me. Fontin is free.
