Do you have a preferred font when you're typing up something? In Word, I use Verdana in size 10 for the bulk of my text. It looks nice. Not a lot of other fonts are readable at size 10.

You're just starting threads for the sake of it now aren't you.
I wasn't aware that I was starting a lot of threads, but thanks for the contribution.
This sums up 99% of all General Chat threads.Originally Posted by Cuchulainn
Default font for posting, otherwise Arial.
...neither was I. You've got like, only one other thread in on the first page of General Chat.I wasn't aware that I was starting a lot of threads
Seriously though...I mean...font? You started a thread about what font people use? What are you hoping to get out of this exactly? If you're not conducting a survey or poll on fonts & their many many sizes for school or some work based study.....I don't honestly see where the interest lies. I just don't think you sat staring at the new thread title long enough.
It's General Chat, dude.
This place is essentially polluted with threads that are seemingly pointless, Mr. "Did you ever hit yourself in the nuts with your belt?"
... can you make that thread?
He did. And it was glorious.
On topic: I use Centaur. Not sure why, I just like it.
I usually use Calibri for everything for school. It hasn't had the new rubbed off it yet like Times New Roman or Arial
I also like Calibri.
Same here, I use calibri.
Anyway, I used Times New Roman. It's professional, and all I ever do is write essays. So, so many.
General Chat is used for exactly what it sounds like: general chat. This thread could be used for a variety of reasons, the least of which is introducing people to fonts they may have never heard of or a simple discussion on how fonts should and shouldn't be used. For instance:Seriously though...I mean...font? You started a thread about what font people use? What are you hoping to get out of this exactly? If you're not conducting a survey or poll on fonts & their many many sizes for school or some work based study.....I don't honestly see where the interest lies.

My English teacher refuses to recognize Calibri as a decent font and I agree with him. I do not like the way it looks, either small or large, and it kinda messes up papers. I'd much rather use Times New Roman because it looks neater.
My favorite fonts are Tahoma and Verdana, but only when they are smaller. In general, I prefer smaller fonts (typically sized 10 or below; usually at about an 8. Larger fonts are pretty gross looking. I also avoid the calligraphy-type fonts that are only look decent when they are obnoxiously large and overburdening.
Helvetica...a favourite among many designers
/shrug
A lot of what I have to turn in isn't essay writing anyway, and there are lots of numbers, so calibri works well for that. Since most of it is spreadsheets, it would've just been arial anyway!
