Guys,

This is really annoying me. I want to know what font this is, and I simply can't find out what it really is.

Can anyone tell me what font that is? It's used throughout the http://www.uplinkearth.com site.

I've seen this font in many places, but find this site to be the best example of the font.

Greatly appreciated :)

Verdana is close, but the a is different.
May be helvetica nouvelle but I don't have that installed.

nice tool - bookmarked. Seems to choke a bit on more complex images but I see myself using it a lot :) Thanks for the link. I did see some great font suggestions in the results I'm going to check out... a man can never have too many fonts.
