I think this is the correct category for this.
What font do you use for your address labels (labels to another member, not personal labels)?
Do you use a different font when printing Chinese, Taiwanese, or Russian addresses?

After reading 3 of the Best and Worst Fonts for Printing, I’ve been using Century Gothic, which was listed as the #1 Best Font in addition to Helvetica and Verdana.

This is interesting! I never thought of using different fonts that might be easier to read! I honestly just screenshot the address on the Postcrossing page and paste it into a document to print. I’m too afraid to get a character printed incorrectly. 
Do you have a different method for typing out addresses not using the Latin alphabet?
I copy and paste. Pasting into Microsoft Word (where the template for my address labels is) doesn’t have an issue picking up any non-Latin alphabet characters.
Except for Chinese / Taiwanese addresses I don‘t print, I write them myself with a pen and my very own handwriting font

I don’t usually unless I end up with a bunch of cards I’m sending out a once, like a large Round Robin.
Using a monospaced font is advisable for latin letters is advisable, as it is easier for sorting machines to read and sometimes postal authorities recommend it (see picture). I always use Letter Gothic.
For cyrillic I use Gill Sans. For Chinese characters I tend to use Futura, but the look of the characters don’t change that much for different fonts.
