I have seen a number of articles cautioning against getting too fancy with
the fonts.  Simple is still best for user appreciation.  The two most
popular fonts in the world are Times New Roman in the U.S. and Ariel in
Great Britain.  If you plan best use for low vision people, I'd recommend
Ariel as it is simpler.
