Don't know if it is the best, but we just stick to default Arial. It means no adjusting font in case you use something you haven't set up in your template with a different font yet.

I second Arial.
It will be on every machine,
Mac or PC.

If you want something a little more stylish, then you need to make sure every machine that will use your files also has the same font.
And there could be issues between Mac and PC - I recall reading a post just a few weeks ago that seemed to have this problem.

There are issues between windows and mac with Arial too, it just has to do with the way each OS scales fonts.

Mostly noticeable in schedules where you have adjusted something to fit to text size.
