Arial/Times for print, Verdana/Georgia for screen... I read this on the intarweb somewhere, so it must be true?
Negative.
Serif Fonts (font with little tails and hooks like newspaper letter) are easier to read on paper.
Sans Serif Fonts (Sans means "non") are easier to read on screen.
According to the MLA, the easiest print font to read is Courier or Courier New, because the letters are the cleanest and evenly spaced. Even though I hate it because it's overused, Times New Roman is an easy to read font.
The easiest on screen fonts to read are any from the standard set that most web designers put in... Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, etc. etc.
