): I can't seem to find out what it is. It's the small one that looks really neat; that's really the only way I can seem to explain it.
I would reeeally appreciate any help.
I don't know. Times New Roman? Book Antiqua? ETA: I keep changing fonts. ARGH. Cannot pick.
Why do you want to have something that conforms? o.o

Verdana? Tahoma?
Those two are insanely popular and eeevrywhere.
Helvetica? That's like a graphic designer's wet dream.
verdana? trebuchet ms?
If you have an example, use What The Font to try help you. If that doesn't work, it should provide a link to another site to find the font you're looking for.
Good luck.
I generally use verdana or arial for the interwebs. But that's different than writing a paper...
Tahoma, verdana, arial?
Those are the three most popular and most friendly to use on the web. If it looks really neat and tiny, it is probably at a point size of 10pt.
I can't say much right now because I'm using a highly common font. xD

As a web designer, I usually use Verdana, Arial, or Trebuchet MS. I've found they get a professional message across and are easy to read.

Are you trying to identify a bitmap font by any chance?
