Where's the Comic Sans? Where's the blinking animations? Why are you taking away the 90s?
Maybe I should get some sleep...
I just had in idea you may/may not like, triggered by looking at all the wonderful variations on a theme.
How about doing away with the words? They are all different lengths and its hard to find one font that suits them all. You could go with the symbols then, but just a tad bigger and therefore even clearer. Would that be better do you think?
(I'm starting to squint to read what the words say)

The problem with just symbols is that the icon space is 60x15 pixels... so the symbols can only be made 'bigger' by elongating them.
Can't be made any 'taller', unless we can change the icon size. It's often one of the challenges with UI icon/button design.
Otherwise, I would agree with you.

How about taking them out of the box and using the full HxW of the available space... or In this case, taking them out of the circle? A couple of pixels top and bottom is quite a lot larger if you are only starting with 15. They are already on the same coloured background as the local environment.
(Sorry Waldronate. I know how you feel!)
EDIT: Chickpea's graphics are really nice, but they could be noticeably larger if they didn't have to so very carefully avoid touching the edge by a couple of pixels in all directions.

Nice variety of fonts JE !
I like Alexander Quill for it's legibility, uniqueness, and it captures the more fantasy/historical feel of the site.
Halis R would be my second, probably more legible than Alex Quill.
Garibaldi could work but would like to see Tutorial/Question less tracking (kerning) to see if it works.
Thanks!
Agree with Snodsy. Alexander Quill is my fav of those posted.
I tried another couple of fonts. Haven't got time now to create the mockup, so I'm just uploading the buttons. Tried to get something a bit more decorative, but don't know if these are any better.

I like the one on the left a lot. Enough to even call it if no one sharply disagrees.
I tried making them a different size and they just scale the row in an awkward way. They can be any size but they only look good at 15 px tall. They can be wider though. If 65 or even 70 would work better that's fine too.

Actually, I quite like Alexander Quill as well...I dunno...I'll let you guys decide...zip up the pngs and I'll upload whichever...If you want to widen it a little so it fits better thats just fine too.
J.Edward will need to finish them if we're going for Alexander Quill. It's not a free font and I don't have it. You OK with that, J?

If it's not free are we allowed to use it?
