Most people I've worked with have preferred Arial Black (it is bolder than
plain Arial). Also, be sure to use high contrast colors (black text on a
white background, for example). It is nice if you give users an option to
switch fonts/colors. See top right corner of www.afb.org and www.mabnc.org
for examples.

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.
