There are a millions fonts out there, yes I’m exaggerating, but there are thousand of ‘em just waiting to be downloaded, to be played with and tweaked, used in conjunction with each other, placed in neat arrays each font used as an emphasis for the written word or used pell-mell, haphazardly thrown together in a mish-mash of disarray. So why am I such a stickler when it comes to using them? Why is it that I can never let the words stray from the straight confined lines of Times New Roman font?
The oddest thing about all of this is that I am not even sure if I like the damned font, but even when I try to go another route and use something a little flashier, a little rounder, and find myself depressing the ”CRTL A” keys, scrolling through the list of fonts and invariably reselecting the dreaded Times New Roman, no 12.
What is your favourite font? Which ones do you find yourself using most often. Which ones do you abhor and which ones do you absolutely love? Niggling, curious minds want to know.
Posted by munin at Agosto 11, 2003 07:24 AMI use times new roman or book antiqua for most everything.
For my Christmas letters I tend to use Michaelmas. If I am doing something different, an invitation or something, I scour the internet til I find something that works for me. But more often than not, I stick to my straight line font as well ;).
Posted by: Amber on Agosto 11, 2003 09:58 AMTimes New Roman & Comic Sans are my least favorite fonts actually. Not sure why.
I always find myself reverting to Verdana. My current pretty favorites are Desyrel and Blackjack. I love handwriting fonts. :)
