Recommended Title Font

Does anyone know of the best font to use on your titles? It seems no matter which one I choose, when I preview the timeline, it always shows up in a horrible quality. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Don't be put off by the appearance of the title when viewing in the preview screen. It is not a true representation of how the title will look on the final product. If you output to a small video file and then play it in Windows Media Player or similar you will see there is a big difference.

Anything that uses scaleable font technology such as TrueType or OpenType should look decent once rendered, and what works best will depend on your project's content (to make sure it fits the character of your video).

Don't judge the quality by what you see in the timeline or even the instant preview -- if in doubt, set a preview range, and render that using a high quality render.
