Normal Google Adsense users – those that do not have the status of a premium publisher – have always been at a severe disadvantage when customizing Adsense units. One of the major points of criticism over the year was the inability to change the default font mix that Google used to display Adsense units. You could find some tricks on the Internet to analyze the Adsense code and find out about the fonts used but you would soon be left with a choice as the size and font face differed depending on the ad unit and even on the number of ads that have been displayed in that unit.
The Inside Adsense blog made an announcement today that changes this restriction. Adsense users can now switch from the default Google Adsense font selection to either Arial, Verdana or Times. This makes it easier to use the same font for the display of Adsense units that is being used on the rest of the website. It is most likely that using the same font to display the Adsense unit and the content on the website will yield higher revenue.
It is probably a good idea to test all three new font combinations on the website to find the one with the best results. Fonts can be changed for single ad units or globally in the Adsense account. A click on the My Account link in the top menu and a selection of Ad Display Preference will open the menu where the font setting can be edited globally. Individual ad units can be changed by clicking on Adsense Setup > Manage Ads > Edit Ad Settings.
Being able to change the default font face is definitely a step in the right direction. Premium publishers have still an advantage as they can change the font size and other settings as well which are still locked for non-premium users.

[...] Non è molto, rispetto a chi può gestire in modo completamente autonomo le dimensioni, il carattere, il numero di annunci in un box e i vari altri valori che un publisher premium può variare, ma consente di adattare senz’altro meglio gli annunci testuali. Va precisato – una cosa, questa, non riferita quasi da nessuno – che la nuova possibilità riguarda solo gli annunci di testo, ma non è presente negli insiemi di link, che restano, al momento, governati dal sistemone di Google anche per quanto attiene la scelta di font.
