I need font suggestions: here's my UI

I've been making my own UI for quite some time now. I change it all the time when I get bored of it, but I can't find a suitable font for my chat and game font.

I'm using Handel Gothic for my stuf frames font and my SCT font, I also need a good in game damage font as well.

Here is my UI, be nice.. it's my first time doing textures like this and it took forrrever.

Quite Honestly I am very fond of Neuropol for numbers such as damage meters/sct/unitframe numbers/ basically anything that would display numbers but ultimately I don't know if it would fit with your ui just a suggestion.

AvantGarde LT Medium is a nice choice for chat fonts.

Just an FYI: If your chat box has a solid background, then there is no need for an outline on the fonts (this creates eye strain because it gives the fonts a "fuzzy" appearance). Those outlines only serve to help you easily read the text when the game world is in the background.

I'm currently using this font for just about everything on my UI besides my fubar text and default blizzard error/notification text.

font

I currently use GosmickSansBoldOblique, it's crisp, concise, and just enuff frills to look pretty~ Hope this helps. OH! and it works perfectly as a replacement for WoW fonts, without having to use a font changer/sizer, etc.

Just as a back-up, Expressway and Enigmatic are two quite popular fonts which seem to work well in any part of a UI.
