I hate Arial fonts 1 Year, 3 Months ago Karma: 4  
A good blog post, but there are lots of other great resources online.

I don't really design for the web, but one thing I find is that Arial is a boring boring font -- it is a great web font, which is why it is so ubiquitous, I guess. As a sans-serif typeface that’s easy to read, has great proportions, and looks good when used with proper vertical spacing.

I wish another sans-serif font would take its place and that it would stop spilling out into print!

What I hate is when Times New Roman is is used in web design. Since many people still use CRT monitors (I have been at work but just got a new LCD—yay) which are unable to display the serifs properly. Times is a great typeface for print... maybe a bit overused, but still a great face.
