I personally use Handelmod, the long time favorite of many of us, however what other fonts are you guys using that appear properly spaced in OS X? Eurostile is a fav I know, what else? Looking for some fresh new fonts that might work well with OS X. Any thoughts and suggestions welcome.

is size 11 the default font when substituting with silk, seems that altering the size really does nothing. As well, when applying global setting you guys use font subsitution, and then when applying to individual apps you use custom theme font box checked without checking fast correct? That is how I have been doing it and it seems to be working well, I could be completely off though.

Im using "Myriad Apple Medium". Its a lot like the standard "Lucida grande" but a little bit smaller, and slightly different. Just different enough to be a refreshing change but still be usable and not obstructive.

I have no idea where to find it. If i remember correctly "Myriad" is a adobe font that costs money, but someone made a custom version (mostly exactly the same) and called it "Myriad Apple" because it is the font used in all the apple adds. I'm pretty sure I got it from a link in a thread much like this one. I think it came from someone's idisk.
