    Most fonts that don't have serifs--T as opposed to T--look good at around the 9 pt. area.

    9pt. and sans serif then you have the whole thread. Unless we're talking about essays and research papers!

    I like Garamond and Palotino Linotype

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Keep it nice, guys.

    I love Calibri for powerpoint presentations.

    Arial Narrow is my go to font for instant messaging.

    Also, Helvetica, as Hikki mentioned, is great, though I prefer Georgia. Georgia is probably one of my favorites.



    I've been researching fonts for a tattoo I'm planning, and it's been difficult. I need something as a median between handwritten and something like Georgia. I will not get a tattoo until I find the most perfect font. I can't make it in my own handwriting because the way I hold my pencil is a step up in elegance from holding a crayon in my fist, so my writing is really ugly. :{

    Arial for almost everything. Verdana for the rest.

    I like Verdana for the same reason as Mo.

    Good grief, you really do have a Hardon for me PuPu don't you. My post had a scientific purpose, to see if anyone was as thick as me. The added bonus was to have a giggle. Both points were fulfilled.

    Everything I say here is only semi-serious. If you people don't know that by now I may just keep on regardless slowly angering everyone 1 by smurfing 1.

    Cuch, just because you're not interested in a topic doesn't mean it can't have value to other people. You're always free not to post. Now cut the off-topic talk.

    I love typography, and picking out suitable fonts for design productions is lovely, especially if it is to be printed. In reports I write for school I have to follow templates which specify Arial of different sizes for headings, and Garamond for normal text. Garamond



    is a fantastic font that I think looks great and it has so many applications. I'd much rather use Helvetica than Arial, or even better, Helvetica Neue



    which is one of my personal favourites because it can look great on pretty much anything. But Arial is the more convenient alternative, of course, because of how widespread it is.

    I wish EoFF had a font that made weird pictures and symbols.

    I use Times New Roman for my Health and Social Care coursework, but that's only because my teacher tells us that we have to so that she is able to read it. I do think that it looks very neat and professional though. Other than that I use fonts like Arial or Verdana.

    On forums, I just use the default, unless I'm using text in a signature. In that case it's Times New Roman in italics, of various colors.

    On MSN I use Calibri, and on AIM I use Comic Sa-- *is shot*

    Not "Can you make that?" but, "When did you make that?". If you could think up the question, it's been asked in GC.

    Also, good ol' Times New Roman ftw.

    I think Times New Roman is a disgusting looking font. My eyes are scarred by its serifs.

    I think you're a disgusting looking font. Take that.
