I read an article recently about how a font reveals character, image etc. - a bit like handwriting used to. As the person with the worst handwriting in the world, I tend to use Calibri which is nice and neat in my opinion. However, based on the article I read, it depends whether you want to appear modern, solid, trendy etc. and as someone who knows nothing about community development projects I can't comment. Try googling, it will have been discussed on marketing forums.
`I know a number of schools have a policy of using comic sans, on the basis that it is believed to be the easiest to read for children with reading difficulties.
Calibri is my personal fave however you need to bear in mind you are limited to about 7 fonts if you are including your website in the equation. Too specialist a font won't work on all PC's and then it starts to look really chuddy
Please also note that Comic Sans is a hangable offence and is cause for disciplinary proceedings here

This is the sort of trainspotting esque thread i can get excited about.
Why thank you kindly young sir.
Of course this is why I posted in the non sport bit of CL.
SMILEY THING WINKING BACK AT YOU, boldly.
I too use Calibri, point size 11.
It's like porn to some of them.
How are you going to use it (ie what software) and how are you intended it to be read (ie letters, internet, email).
A lot of fonts work well in different medium and in different colours / on different backgrounds.
We use Trebuchet for the website and word (sometimes Calibri) and antiqua for promotional materials / leaflets etc.
