If you typed it in it changed the fonts to comic sans. Doesn't seem to work now though
It's still working. I thought it was pretty funny, but then I'm a bit of a geek. And geek's don't like shitty fonts like Comic Sans. |

My favourite font is Calibri
This thread is about to go geek-tastic.

Oh my god!! Maybe not. But I was just trying to have a laugh BR
Yes. But at some one else's expense! Imagine this. One day in the future, you open your small plastic lunch box and lots of small paper circles from the bottom of a hole punch fall out of it. Imagine that.... not so bloody funny is it now young man? Think on. |

Depends what you are using the font for. Helvetica Neue is a classic headline font, will never date, perfect for headlines/titles and comes in a shed load of different weights. Arial will do a job. Glasgow is fucking sexy, Din is an old favourite. Personally I prefer Minion or Bembo over Garamond. Picking the right font for the job is only the start though. You still need to adjust your leading and H&J's depending on the size you intend to use the font and your column width, until it reads perfectly and draws your eyes across the page. I love typography. Some of these are lush: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/08/08/80-beautiful-fonts-typefaces-for-professional-design/http://www.100besteschriften.de/ |

You probably wouldn't get much use out of a Veranda that small. Verdana on the other hand... |
