That quiz is rigged

One is always smoother than the other, but sometimes the smoother one is Arial and sometimes it's Helvetica.

OMG I HATE it! And unfortunately, I have to use Times New Roman for all of my assignments in my reading class.

But what my teacher doesn't know is that I type in another font (the default on the school computers is Calibri) and then I change the font just before I print it off or send it to her. It's so nauseating!

Verdana or Arial for me.

There was this one time where I was obsessed with Comic Sans...

Same here. But then I decided it looked too childish, like something that would appeal more to a 5 year old. Which says alot because I'm EXTREMELY immature. I can't stand looking at Comic Sans anymore.

But Times New Roman wins when it comes to ugly fonts!

the t on arial is slanted at the top

the inner triangle of the A in helvetica is slightly smaller

the e is fancier looking in arial

Yes! someone mentioned Helvetica!

Just kidding. xD Times is supposed to be professional or whatever, so I usually just stick with that. Verdana, arial, tahoma, or some similar font for my websites - definitely not Times.

**BardTard** · 10-04-2009, 12:24 AM

Tahoma was my web design teacher's favorite. One of my friends told me that's one of 2 fonts that have the lines on the Is and Js only (how most people I know write)

I think, anyway... I could be wrong. Whatever this font is, I like it. I personally can't tell most fonts apart unless it's so obnoxious (Times New Roman, Courier or however it's spelled, Comic Sans, those fonts)

Arial usually.

I was considering to post Annifont, but then I decided I didn't want to be that guy.

I was taught that serifs (Times New Roman) are good for paper and sans serifs (Arial) are good for the screen. Not sure what the science is behind it, but in my experience that's exactly right.

As this suggests though, Times is really ugly on-screen.

Comic Sans MS, now that *is* the most horrible font ever. Exclusively used by schools and middle aged females trying to advertise things.

**blackmage_nuke** · 10-04-2009, 01:39 AM

Personally I would have used Fixedsys or Courier for everything but thats frowned upon so I go Times New Roman or Arial.

smurf 19 out of 20 on that quiz
mattel one screwed me up :(

Times New Roman is a very ugly font and I wish it wasn't so standard.

I like Lucida Console because it's monospaced and makes my parentheses line up.
