Serif or San-Serif?

[Hythloday]

Fuck you, Helvetica.

[rubah]

Helvetica is a god!

I can go with either

[The Man]

I'd rather Helvetica than Arial.

Also what rubah said. I like unconventional fonts though. If I weren't so lazy I'd probably use something like Corbel, Skia, Nyala, or Candara for all my posts here because Verdana is seen everywhere on the Internet these days. I actually do use them on boards that allow me to set my own font globally (which is pretty much every other board I post on nowadays except FFOF and Freethought Forum) but I'm too lazy to do it manually for every post I make (although there was a time when I wasn't).

Who cares as long as it's monospaced

[Jiro]

I'm too lazy for whatever you're discussing.

I LOVE monospaced fonts. The ones that are not drive me crazy
Especially in notepad where this doesn't apply
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890

That said, I always use verdana at the office because that's the font my ticketing software uses. And it makes sense when I copy/paste (avoids needing to change the font after when my excel goes all haywire from random font pasting)

COMIC SANS MS AND IT'S OFFICIALLY PARTY TIME!

I like Garamond. I've always liked Garamond. And Palatino Linotype.

I don't know the difference between Serif and Sans-Serif.

See the little feet on the top of second T? That's a serif. San-serif have none.

[fire_of_avalon]

I like the feet.

[rubah]

there's one more s in sans

[oddler]

One is with Serif, the other's without?

[jupany]

Anybody said "VERDANA"? *snip*

[oddler]

Why, yes. Yes, they have! :choc2:

[jupany]

Well I vote for Verdana rather than serif and san... :D it's my choice then...

[Mo-Nercy]

Verdana is sans-serif.

And yes, it is a god amongst fonts.

[Meat Puppet]

I sans the serif.

[Loony BoB]

On a screen: Sans-serif.
On paper: Serif.

[The Man]

I've decided not to be lazy anymore; it's not that difficult to paste something from my clipboard and if the font colour irritates people using Fluffy Puff then I've done my job :doublecolbert:

[Baloki]

Somewhere between Ariel and Wingdings!~

[Jiro]

Now that I understand the discussion at hand:

Sans-serif. Purely because that seems to be what I'm familiar with.

[missaira]

On a screen: Sans-serif.
On paper: Serif.
seconded.

[Hot Shot]

I really can't be bothered to change my font. It doesn't really matter to me.

[Cloudane]

On a screen: Sans-serif.
On paper: Serif.

Correct.

Not sure why it's correct (there's a proper theory on it somewhere probably), it's just something I was taught and seems to work just like they say.

Most businesses insist on Arial 11 for printed letters in my experience, though, and there seems to be a universal hate for Times New Roman.

[Clo]

I like Times New Roman. :(

[Goldenboko]

I like Times New Roman. :(

Me too. :|

What is the name of that font with cave man symbols or something? :bigsmile:

[Xaven]

Default fonts are the best. Fonts should be neutral.
