See this list for a lineup of available Windows fonts as well as information about the best of use of each. If you don't need to support Windows XP or older an Windows OS or other a non Windows OS then I would definitely go with Segoe UI otherwise I would go with Tahoma if it's available and if all else fails try Verdana. In the short term we settled on Tahoma since Segoe UI isn't freely available for operating systems below Windows Vista. The results as I recall them were that Segoe UI and Tahoma were the best with respect to space utilization and readability for UI purposes at 10pt and 9pt sizes. I repeated the test as well with different font sizes. I did a rudimentary by creating a program that iterated through all of the available fonts I had installed on my Windows box at the time and printed a line containing each printable ascii character on to the screen in each of these font's. It really depends on a lot of factors such as what is the frequency of certain characters that you expect and what fonts are available to you.
