It all depends on what you need the font for. Here is a list of my favorite fonts, for different applications:

Heading font, magazine cover: Comic Sans
Stylish heading font, brochures: Comic Sans
Body copy, editorial: Comic Sans
Heading font, poster: Comic Sans
Body copy, brochure: Comic Sans
Website, buttons: Comic Sans

LOL! Imagine it...the Bible or Declaration of Independence....IN COMIC SANS! I think the best fonts are ones that suit your material. I'm assuming you are new to graphic design and just figuring out fonts and other things. My suggestion is to research about the types of fonts rather than asking for a list of them.

Each type has different uses. You also have to consider how readable each font is for it's use.

I think it would do you the most help if you read about fonts rather than just had a list of them. Check out this article on using fonts for the web.

Futura Medium Condensed is a sans serif font that is condensed (thinner letters, smaller kerning). This font is good for block text and titles. There are many fonts similar to this, but I suggest you start to work with fonts outside of your comfort zone. Designers usually have about 5 fonts they often use because of their effectiveness, but as most will attest to, different jobs call for different kinds of type.

oh goodnesss Ned be careful of newbies, they might think you are serious....

Fonts are contextual, you need to evaluate the situation you're using them in and go from there.

Ned, you are so f***king funny.

You have to admit, Urst... It sure makes life a whole lot easier to have just one perfect, all-round usable font, for any occassion. Y'know, like Comic Sans...

I think I woulda picked a different font though, Ned.

Oooh, new thread, or a hijack of this one! If you were on a desert island, and could only take 5 fonts, which ones would they be?

For me:

For serif body copy (under 12 point): Sabon with Oldstyle Figures
For san serif body copy under 12 point: Helvetica Neue
For serif headline size (above 18 point): Cochin
For san serif headline size (above 18 point): non-ITC Kabel
For stylized headline style: Avant Garde with the alternate characters

The Futura family is a fave of mine for the reports too.

Futura is nice, but it's so "done". It's gone through its trends, and granted, you can't deny the classics. But um, I dunno, I'm ready for a new sans-serif headline font.

I have just applied for a Design Assistants post advertised in the local press at a photographers that do nationwide school photos. The ad was all laid out in comic sans... I must say I wonder at the wisdom of applying.

I prefer to write with crayons, scan it in and use that for text on occasion.

Buahahaha!! Ned, your post is killing me this morning! I needed that today. That should have been the wording on that B.C. comic... "Here lies the remains of Comic Sans"

You see what you miss when you don't stay on the forum all night long?
