    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:

    Script fonts are also very cool for typographical reasons, but a pain in the butt to actually type with over a period of time.

    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.

    I almost got fired because of Comic Sans.

    My old place of work sent out an important and professional letter telling everyone about pay cuts or something serious. But it lost all its importance because it was written in Comic Sans. It was hilarious. Legal speak and calm reassurances of job security in comic sans. 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.

    I used a Fixedsys font for the flashbacks in a recent short story I wrote.

    Serif: Easier to read on paper. Looks ugly on screen.
    Sans: Easier to read on a (standard) screen. Isn't as cool as serif on paper.

    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.

    This is standard for submissions to most places, so I got into the habit. TNR, 12pt, 1.5pt - 2pt spacing.
