You mean you don't!!!!????

JTN is right about Georgia.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 17:58 (twenty years ago) link

I have now switched to Georgia.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 17:59 (twenty years ago) link

Always the bandwagon jumper.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:00 (twenty years ago) link

Ew - it's all a bit dense with the single spaced New Answers page.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:00 (twenty years ago) link

Hmm, I have just switched and am not convinced.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:01 (twenty years ago) link

I am thinking of SWITCHING BACK.

I am now reading you in Garamond. This is a distinct improvement.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:03 (twenty years ago) link

I don't like the way the underline intersects the bottom loop of the g's, mind. Pre-hypertext font hazards ahoy.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:04 (twenty years ago) link

On reflection, all the descenders look a bit silly when underlined.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:05 (twenty years ago) link

I am going with Optima for a while.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:05 (twenty years ago) link

Sometimes I think ILx might be improved if I read it in Dingbats.

comic sans LOL

― Mandee, Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:06 (twenty years ago) link

I said I loved comic sans here at work once to be funny - but my co-worker chimed in with how much she loved it, too.. and how much she loved it in purple, even.

― mandee, Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:07 (twenty years ago) link

Comic Sans can eat my shorts. I know it's the number one hated font amongst people who care about these things, and so complaining about it is a bit tedious, but I really, really dislike it.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:09 (twenty years ago) link

PURPLE COMIC SANS!

I bet she draws little hearts over her 'i's as well.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:10 (twenty years ago) link

I like the "bittersweet" font:

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:10 (twenty years ago) link

It makes me laugh just seeing the name - imagine what a whole Health & Safety manual set in it can do to me.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:11 (twenty years ago) link

Bittersweet is very attractive.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:12 (twenty years ago) link

Which makes you laugh, N. - comic sans, or bittersweet?

― mandee, Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:12 (twenty years ago) link

Oh, comic sans.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:12 (twenty years ago) link

obituaries should be written in comic sans just to lighten the mood.

― mandee, Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:12 (twenty years ago) link

I actually used to type the obituaries at a newspaper. I should have experimented with fonts.

― mandee, Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:13 (twenty years ago) link

Really, I think everyone would be a lot nicer to each other if all notices were in it.

Lucida Grande is still my browser/OS font of choice. Couldn't bear anything else.

Andale Mono for terminal font is fantastic

Lucida Grande, all the way

― Tadpole (calstars), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:20 (twenty years ago) link

The kerning on Lucida Grande is abysmal!

I have spent the last two nitemarish months in my capacity as brand guru trying to find a screenfont that is acceptable to the whole organisation I work for, and this thread is starting to give me flashbacks.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:23 (twenty years ago) link

Century Gothic, here.

― C J (C J), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:23 (twenty years ago) link

You should have just went for the Comic Sans!

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:24 (twenty years ago) link

Lucida Grande is like a bad version of Trebuchet.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:27 (twenty years ago) link

I prefer Tiresias.

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:30 (twenty years ago) link

Very nice.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:32 (twenty years ago) link

Garamond since '98

Holla!

― pholm, Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:34 (twenty years ago) link

Lucida Grande is like a bad version of Trebuchet.

I'm not that crazy about Trebuchet, but it would make a great baby name.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:36 (twenty years ago) link

Lucida Grande is like a bad version of Trebuchet.

I used to use Trebuchet but it has a harshness to it on my laptop screen that's hard on my eyes after awhile.

Caslon Antique!

Bonus points for those who can name the band who used this font!

That's not who I was thinking of, but that DOES look a lot like it

AARGH i know what you're thinking of too, but what is it?

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:43 (twenty years ago) link

XTC?

― Ricardo (RickyT), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:46 (twenty years ago) link

Johnston! of course! what a brain-mong that was...

i am reading ILX in Helvetica Rounded MT Bold

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:47 (twenty years ago) link

(DEAR GOD I USED "WHO" INSTEAD OF "WHOM" SLIT MY WRISTS PLEASE)

You also ended the original phrase with a preposition.

Eh, what are you gonna do?

― martin m. (mushrush), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:47 (twenty years ago) link

I knew that too, but I feel worse about the who/whom.

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:49 (twenty years ago) link

Caslon Antique *is* the Chronic Town font

XTC's Nonsuch uses something else

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 18:52 (twenty years ago) link

BUT THERE IS ANOTHER

(This may very well turn into a game of "guess what I'm thinking and type your answers in 'Symbol'" - not that that's a bad thing)

Frutiger STD & its many incarnations has been my go-to practical-use font for some time now.

I have a longstanding love of 50s scripty fonts like Murray Hill, probably ingrained from childhood via motel signage like Holiday Inn.
