Best fonts to use in a game

Ah i didn’t express my question well enough. What i wanted to ask was more about style and design.

What is your favorite font size and styles to use for buttons, dialog text, titles, hud text? How many diff fonts should we use? What are the most interesting font effect to use with text and when? Stuff like this.

I noticed myself some cool tricks. The drop shadow text effect is very useful to show text in front of a background with many colors. The free fonts (just google and you will find it) Verdana and Trebuche are claimed to be very readable with small text sizes.

This is probably an hard topic but if you know any interesting design tricks let me know.
