Say hello to an unlikely hero
Comic Sans MS is revamped with a trendy new spin and hot damn, I think I actually like it. In fact, I think I love it.
Talk about fonts here! I expect a certain typography nerd (*coughRantzcough*) to shower us with fonttalk :colbert:
Wow, that actually looks... not terrible. Kudos to the designer.
Still smells of Sans to me.
Banish it from mine eyes.
Quiet, Nicolas.
More like comic can't stans, right guys?
Guys?

I actually don't hate that. Interesting. I'm a much bigger fan of serif fonts than sans serif fonts generally though. I've always found the font I'm typing in changes the tone of what I'm writing.
Hey, what do you call a font that follows no law? Sans Sheriff.Quote:

What about a psychiatric stand?

Oh, hey, I wonder what's going on in this thre- :|
I'll be in EoEO.
lol Stay outta EoEo, kale... If you know what's good for you.
IDK about serif, sans, and sans serif other than what's in the title of a particular font.
But I like digital type things. And unique cursive & handwritten fonts.
When typing something out, I prefer Tahoma or Verdana. For editing pictures and things, then the above.
I still don't know how to feel about this font. I think I like it?
Basically this is the difference between serif and sans serif fonts - one has serifs and the other does not:Quote:

No, Comics Sans. Not now, not ever. You've hurt me so much over the years and I've got too much self-respect to take you back. I'm glad you've started putting pride in your appearance and I wish you happiness, but it's too little, too late.
This man speaks the truth!Quote:

Anyway I wrote a jokey thing about it on Facebook and 3 people complained and I had a manager shouting at me about the importance of the letter and the use of comic sans and I basically had to not laugh in her face.
That's my comic sans story and I hope you like it.
I don't really have a favourite font but I have a weird thing for Courier New.
The lack of Fixedsys love these days disapoints me deeply
I used a Fixedsys font for the flashbacks in a recent short story I wrote.Quote:

That's always been how I've seen things.
This new Comic serif is okay, but I'm not sure about the e's. The diagonal bugs me.
Times New Roman for life, mother smurfers!
Times New Roman is awful as smurf. Blech.
I use Verdana nd Calibri most often.
I'm typing all my posts in Times New Roman from now on.Quote:

I don't have a lot of font talk for you right now. :shobon:
You have the right stuff going on here.Quote:

All my messaging programs are set to use lucida sans unicode
Comic sans is all good but it ain't no Wingdings 2.
Shorty, Times New Roman is actually solid. Don't hate it 'cause it's mainstream, you great big ol' hipster.
You should feast your eyes on the best fonts of 2012, of 2013 and of 2014.

thank you for these lists I am in love
they truly are magnificent
I've always had a bit of a thing for:
Georgia Italic, I use it all the time for my Lync conversations at work. It just feels... elegant.
Pretty! :kaolove2:Quote:

Tahoma and Verdana are the only fonts worth time.
Been using a lot of Constantia for my creative writing. For sans-serif fonts, I like Franklin Gothic, but with the spacing closer together than the default.
I liked the font they used in the ASOIAF books as well, and even researched its name and downloaded it. It's called Electra LT Regular. I've used it in some graphic art stuff.
I like the way Aulayna thinks. Georgia is also one of my favorite fonts. It's not quite in-your-face like Vivaldi or Edwardian Script ITC but it's not plain like Calibri or Arial. The letters can seem "elegant" without using script.
I use Courier New for everything because beautiful, beautiful kerning.
Read this in "AINT NO WAAANG DANNNGS" thanks Mike lolQuote:
