Icon Fonts

Since user-icons are only 100x100 pixels in size, the fonts that one uses need to be quite small. So every now and then I go through my font collection and make lists of fonts that look good at small sizes. While my font collection isn't going to be the same as your font collection, and font names tend to differ anyway, these lists may still be useful.

Look Fine At 10 Points

10 points or smaller (if the font looks better at a smaller point-size, the size is given next to the font name).
