I would like to use the most common font for my game so I can set it as the default one. What do you think the most common font is among all computers?

By common i mean existant.

[EDIT] and...could someone explain to me how to use the checklist function to find a specified font(if exists)?

System (which is darkbasic professional's default)
It's present on every modern Personal Computer / Workstation Computer.

Mainly cause all BIOS seems to use it know as the bog standard.
It's also called Fixedsys on Windows.

Courier and Arial are pretty common, personally I like a nice small Arial font, anythings better than the aged looking default system font.
