This is our current font stack:

font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;

All system fonts with various fallbacks, all the way down to sans-serif. We'd rather avoid using webfonts for performance purposes, but it's all on the table in one way or another.

Yeah, I absolutely understand your performance concerns. In a pretty much text-only site, however, I wouldn't blame you guys for using a webfont.

The only reason why I'd go as far as to suggest webfonts is because I personally really don't dig Arial, which is probably what it'll fall back to on Windows 😬
