I need some fonts that look good in small sizes (like 8pt or less). Can anyone send me a font like this (to: sergiorg@mac.com) or give me a link to download.

Thanks in advance.

Use sans-serif fonts for the best readability. Helvetica, Myriad, Gill Sans, Univers, etc.

Understand that nothing looks great at 8 points.

Yes i know that. But there are certain special fonts designed to be used at 8 or 10pts. That's what i am looking for...maybe i went to far with less than 8points, but between 8 and 10 would be ok.
