Hullo, I'm clueless when it comes to fonts, and I only have the ones that comes with Win XP. It would be great if I could get some pointers, and I thought that this would be an nice thread since I can't find anything similar through search.
Post the name of your favorite fonts
To try to keep it in an orderly fashion:
a) Try to post with a download/purchase link
Let us know if it's a part of a set
c) Thumbnails would be beautiful 
Moderator Edit:
Awesome thread idea. Renamed, moved, and stuck.
Other excellent fonts can be viewed at Praegnanz. Just click on the letters and find the download links. A PSD of my preview is available here. Also note that fonts are vector-based and are far more beautiful when printed or when rendered in PDF format. An example is my resume, which uses Day Roman and Gentium.
It's for all the weights and, more importantly, the rights to use them. Look at the slanted lettering on a white Apple Keyboard: that's Univers. It's used in print advertising for everything. A less complete but sufficient set is available for around 300 dollars. Creative people can also find it, though that won't happen here. 
Univers.. hmmm.. When it comes to sans serif font for general usage I loved Helvetica & Helvetica nue font family out n out.
Here is my top three fav fonts in descending order :
Myriad Pro & Myriad Web family
Helvetica & Helvetica nue
Verdana
hey good idea
I don't have any specific font choices. but expecting to get some cool looking fonts from here...
My favorite top at this moment is (for codes) Monaco you'll find it here

Monaco, here goes a Screen shot...
and Lucida Sans
Silkscreen is best pixel font. I would say the miniml pixel fonts are good, but I don't have any. :/
Fonce Sans

I googled your suggestions and these were awesome!
my favorite is no doubt apples default font, but currently im all about HandelMod.
my favorites would have to be Hei and LucidaMAC
I like HandelGotD (More importantly, HandelGotDLig). Not a huge fan of HandelMod, smoothing HandelMod is kinda wierd. I remember I used to have Hei and loved it, but I kinda ditched it do to lack of characters (i.e. the 1/2 fraction, and others), anyone have a version of Hei with these characters? PM please 
Right now my favorite is Gill Sans. I am to a point where it is everywhere on my computer!

Ditto
HandelMod and Calibri are 2 of my favorites.
hei
04b_03b -- one of my all time favorites, been using it since 2001. (pixel font)
Hei -- good system replacement font
Grand Stylus -- used for graffiti-type graphics
Times New Roman -- good for minimalististic layouts
Century Gothic -- good for minimalistic graphics
always been a fan of copperplate gothic, myself.
nonstepnew is my favourite pixel font
i've also begun to like segoeui (at least thats its name on my system). But i suppose microsoft sans serif is the one i end up using the most, since i msn a bit.
Zapfino - Good for stylish text on cards, wallpaper, etc.
Shock and Awe - Tomahawk - Nice font, shame about it;s normal usage.
As for some free ones:
Mamma Gamma - Rough Work - 04b_03b
Candara, Constantia and Consolas...I'm in love!
I really love the font they are using in LOST, called "Futura".
can be found in the web ... for free
PS: This is a very useful thread, but to keep this level everyone should paste an URL or a screenshot of his fav font
I'm really liking Calibri, Corbel, Trebuchet MS, and Lucida Sans.
