There are a few ways to customize the font face of your ad units. If you'd like to quickly change the font settings for every ad unit generated from your account, visit the 'Ad Display Preference' section of your Account Settings page to select a new account-wide font face. This will affect all units you've created in the past, regardless of whether you used the Manage Ads feature. By default, your ads are currently set to 'Standard AdSense font family', which we've found has performed well across browsers and displays.
However, you can also select custom font faces for specific ad units that you've created with the Manage Ads feature. When creating new ad units, you'll be prompted to select between the default 'Standard AdSense font family', your new account-wide font face (if you've selected one), or another font face. You can also change the appearance of existing ad units, by visiting the Manage Ads page of your account and updating your font choices for specific ad units. Once you've changed the font face of an ad unit away from the default, those selections will be maintained even if you change your account-wide settings later.
Just as with color and placement optimizations, we encourage you to test these new font options to find the best combination for your sites. For instance, you can try matching the font face of your ads to that of your sites. Enjoy the new font faces, and feel free to leave feedback in our comments field below.

Wing Dings!
Could there be also this Trebuchet MS as an option for font? It's very popular in websites and has also umlauts.
Great Job Google Adsense !!
Id also like Trebuchet MS as an option if possible?
This is really great to hear! However, would it be possible to control the size as well?

Trebuchet MS please! Times looks ugly, and Verdana is already default AS font, or am I wrong? So we curently have only one usefull font - Arial!
Do you know abaut AdSense for Domains
I would like to see Trebuchet MS in the next update...
Hm, what about russian language? When will you start to support it?
Finally!! thanks for the fonts!!!
Congrats!
phenomenal, I'm really glad to see this feature, great job Google!!!!!!
I'd also really like Trebuchet MS to be included in the list.
Like Arial, Verdana and Times, Trebuchtet is also part of MS set of core fonts for the web and is commonly available on Linux and MacOS.
Georgia would be cool as well... actually all Microsoft's Core fonts for the Web http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/
With exclusion of Webdings probably.
I think thats a fanstastic addition. Lets see how this effects the overall CTR on ads.
Actually I think Arial is the default. I changed my to Verdana, and they definitely look different than before... So Verdana is not the default G font...
I too would like to see Georgia as an option in a future update.
If / when this is rolled out to non-Latin-based languages, I'd be grateful if publishers were able to set different fonts (or simply serif / sans-serif) for different alphabet: e.g. serif for Latin but sans-serif for Cyrillic and Chinese.
I changed my adsense font to Verdana as it is my blog default font. Good change from Adsense. I am expecting more.
i myself prefer to dafault font. bravo Google..
Nice new option, I think Google Adsense default font is Verdana, right?
I'd rather have what I currently have record properly
Please ad Trebuchet MS as a font option. It will be fantastic if we can change the font size too, so we can match the font size of our content.
Good to know! I'm waiting for transparent backgrounds!
Great Job Google Adsense, Keep Going :)
well Giving rights to manage fonts is really cool..
But why do you restrict the font-styles to only 3 fonts why not include all of them...
nice.. i love it..
Another great features from Adsense, I wish that features can increase my earnings,thanks Adsense
hallo . I wanna ask about adsense registration. I have register about more than one week but still no response from google adsense team. doesn't my blog is rejected or now, there is no information.
with whom me must report ? thank you. this is the information :
An AdSense account does not exist for this login, as your application is currently in review. Within a week of your application date, we'll review your application and follow-up with you via email. Once you are approved to join AdSense, you'll be able to log in to your account and get started.
how long does it take to be review ?
Thanks for this long-awaited feature.
Just as you balance out Arial with Verdana (which was designed to be like Arial but wider for online readability), please consider Georgia, which is the wider version of Times, for readability.
Trebuchet MS please
finally i find out the way
Excellent, that is what I want
Is Adsense for video out?
Thanks for the great change! I hope adlink unit will follow this change :)
It is a good change but I hope Trebuchet MS font can be an option too in the future.
Thank you very much for the change!
How ever the font is still "arial" for Link units.
Thanks for new feature.
background transparant?
This is great! I have been waiting so long for this feature.
i want to have a transparent background instead of font styles
Thanks for letting us do this..
But what about adding a feature that can let users the number of ads they want to display on their ad units.
See I use 250x300 ads and by default i get 4 some times 3 some times 2 some times1 ad unit in the same ad unit, Why don you allow users to control it.
And what about font size of the ads..
The ads are looking too small controling font size should be a realy big advantage for all publishers.
How about the font size, is it possible to customize it?
I hope this will work for me in the future
I have no problem at this time with the default fonts, but want to change in the future. So this is a nice option, however Baskerville Old Face, which is my preferred font may never be an option.
What I really need and have tried to contact adsense several times about, is a transparent background. I see no way for adsense to be truly effective on my website without it. Seems to me this should be fairly simple to do.
Blame it on old age, but in my previous post I failed to mention that for me, having transparent backgrounds would also simplify managing ads by reducing the number of ads I need to create. It would be so much easier to manage 3 or 4 ads that could be used over and over, rather than a dozen or more.
Nice to see your blogs about new type of ad units to get more ideas about ad publishing program to get more earnings from this ideas. Thanks for this post.
When i go to edit link units font style option is not available. Why so?
