i like georgia and verdana -- shouldn't have any issues if you end up having to send something as a .doc, and they're good basic-but-not-too-common fonts. use one for headings and the other for body, either way works.
These have been my preferred resume fonts as well, but my upvote was for the key point you make about issues at the other end. Especially with a resume, you don't want the fonts to not exist on the recipient's machine because a lot of formatting will be lost (and your text may be replaced by Courier New - aagh).
I've worked with a few companies now that have used specialist fonts for marketing; it's fine in pdf form but most documents end up being Arial or Verdana anyway to be safe.
yeah, i considered mentioning what fonts i'd use in the case of converting to pdf, but doc is such an HR standard. i've had bigger tech companies ask me to send doc after first passing along a pdf.
i definitely like both of them, and i also definitely am not very artistically inclined. i'll cede to a higher authority on whether they work together or not.
