Title: What's your favorite font?
Post by: nicname on March 21, 2012, 11:59:44 PM
I mean I know we all love serpentine-bold-italic, but what is your fave font to read or use in word processor programs.  I used to be a straight Times New Roman guy but recently I've really taken a liking to Cambria.  It is so soft, and easy on the eyes while reading.  Is there any way we can make thread text on goEMAW.com be in cambria font, even if just for a day?

Also, GTFOOMF san-seriff fonts.  Seriff's all day every day.(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.identifont.com%2Fsamples%2Fmicrosoft%2FCambria.gif&hash=c8694599008b69e536eb2f08d242e025fd773fdb)

Huh, I wasn't listening to anybody talking throughout that game.  I thought you were making a joke about MIR being the only person who could possibly know about the women's hoops court's font at muni.

When used properly Garamond can be one of my favorites.   Really depends on what we're using these fonts on?   Is this like a corporate memo/brochure or a wedding book design?

Comic Sans.   But only if you're a teacher of 6th grade or lower and your target audience eats paste.

first time seeing this thread but i'm w/ SS7 on the arial narrow. it has the height to width ratio i crave. Also - and i think more importantly - when making construction documents any notes we put on the sheet are always in all capital letters, and arial narrow doesn't look like shouting in all caps. (Arial regular on the other hand...hate it)

Wish there was a (non-cumbersome) way to send and receive texts in Courier. I think my old BlackBerry had a simple way to change fonts.
