What's your favorite font?

I use Metal Lord for everything.

I've been finding a lot of neat fonts over here:

Very.very.very addictive.

I like the Multinational Ext Font.

I've always been partial to font that has a lot of I's in it and H's and J's. But I’m weird like that. But why do the j's look like i's and the i's look like capital i's and don't even get me started on the h's. Come to think of it I really hate this font. I'll never use it again.

Nevermind...

Garamond, Fenice, and Computer Modern.

Well, being a bit of an imagist, I’ve always been particularly fond of Wingdings. Also, it’s almost a reference to Harry Potter’s hometown!

Darnit! And I went to all the trouble of copying it and pasting it into Word, highlighting it, and changing the font. There's 3 minutes I'll never get back. sheesh.

I like Times New Roman. Very traditional, easy to read.

i just quoted it and it came up,

what i meant is this thread...

I use Times New Roman for my writing, but I like to use Verdana here, because it is bigger.

For flyers or fun stuff, I like Comic Sans - its simple to read and yet "fun"

For frightening flyers - I like to use a font called "Maestro" -- but it's not available here.

My favorite font is anything large and legible.

blackadder or something like that.

Prestige Elite 12 points for hardcopy submissions. You can almost hear that IBM Selectric ball flying across the page, and it's a treat for a weary editor's eyes while adhering to standard manuscript formatting.

Ela.

Font

Anything editors like tickles me plumb to death, which means I always use Courier 12.

I'm kind of partial to Caslon or Garamond for printed material, Verdana for online stuff. I know, Im boring...

I always use Courier 12 too because that's what publishers want.

BUT:

I do like Trebuchet MS. I never use it, I'm just saying I like the way it looks.

I like Century Gothic, as well.

And Garamond.

I once found a font called "Monica". It's not too flash, but it was created from Monica Lewinsky's handwritten notes.

Fonts are fun to play with, I guess, but it doesn't take long before I think, "Look. I just want to read this; don't make it difficult, okay?"
