Helvetica Arial Verdana Antique Olive Univers 45 Tahoma Myriad Museo Sans Tiresias Times New Roman ae_Electron CinecavXUIRegular Roboto Typodermic Segoe UI My favourite is Clear Sans, I use it on most of my projects. Sometimes colored and bold. The difference in the uppercase I makes it easier distinguish I from lowercase l. Test to write Illinois...

Tahoma would be my first choice, because it is a sans-serif font that distinguishes among lower-case L, capital I, and the numeral 1.
If your subtitles also must display unusual characters such as the eighth-note character (used to indicate music), then I would recommend the standard Arial font, as it has an extended set of Unicode characters (e.g. eighth-note character is Unicode 266A). |

If lower resolutions: (and if I may consider NTSC SD now as low):
Verdana 18 Proven here for 720x480 DVD 16:9 and 4:3 under MaestroSBT rendering (Latin character set). All resizing is gracefully handled, no thinned-out lines, round stays round. Gives very nice and harmonic 3-liners within 2.35:1, top line within picture, 2 lower lines in lower black letterbox bar.

I find varekai's list very useful.
For movies, ever considered using multiple fonts & (slightly) different colors? For non-spoken subs, voice-overs or other spoken languages, it can positively add to atmosphere/feel. When applied subtly, it won't reduce easy reading. |

Clear Sans: good suggestion, varekai.
Just added it to my favourites.
