I still use Times New Roman. Some people say it's hard to read on a screen,
but none of my readers ever complain, including some that are professional
editors and layout artists.

There are such a wide range of variables - -most of all personal taste, but
generally, plain fonts like arial are easiest to read. This becomes apparant
on smaller screens or tired old screens. Avoid fancy fonts with lots of
serif and extenders.

Studies have shown that a non-serifed font (such as Arial) works best on a
screen and a serifed font (such as Times New Roman) when in print.

I think Verdana is easiest to read on screen.

In general Serif fonts are best for Print and non-serif are best for screens
