The BluffTitler shows that come with the installer and most gallery uploads use the Arial font.
The reason for this is not because it's such a beautiful font, but because the Arial font is present on all Windows systems. This prevents annoying "could not find font" error messages.
The first thing you should do when starting a new project is pressing F6, or choosing MEDIA > CHANGE FONT... You will be amazed how a well chosen font can improve the quality of your titles!
Although you mention that we should not use ARIAL, there are no recommendations for alternative suitable fonts.
I know that sometimes it's best to use very different fonts, specifically suited to the particular show.
For example, if you make a sci-fi style, then maybe you would use "Terminator" or "Planet Kosmos" or "Star Jedi".
But does anyone have any other suggestions of good fonts for shows?
