Paperblade Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Actually, there's a special place for Freohr, Raven and Em. They've been doing it consistently since long before I even got here, so they get a pass from me for seniority. Anybody else, though? Nah. Compromise isn't acceptable.

Parrhesia Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Honestly, I would use Optima if that didn't require effort. I went through a phase of Trebuchet MS, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) I have over 1000 fonts on my computer. Most of them are not supported by this forum. I mean fuck loading fonts takes so long on PS and MSWord now there's at least like 4GB of them This is my favourite font.

Inactive Account Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I can't even read cursive consistently and I can read it fine. I guess you're just illiterate. I can read it, you ass, it's a nice enough font for titles or ads or anywhere that isn't a small, cramped, onscreen conversational context. Shit font for forums though. You wouldn't typeset a book in half the fonts that people switch to around here. Maybe you'd be gimmicky, and switch to a different font for a character's handwriting for very short segments, or switch fonts for a certain character's bubbles in a comic to imply that they're, like, an eldritch abomination or whatever. I'm pretty sure we haven't actually got any eldritch abominations here other than maybe Hika, so nobody else has any excuse for different typefaces. (Hika I only said that because I know you're incurably terrible/gr9/adjective goes here.) The default font is the default for a reason and that is that it looks decent and uncramped in a forum setting. Times New Roman boldfaced and Impact can go die in a hole, or at least slink back to title text on printed documents and image macros where they respectively belong. Sans serif fonts look decent on a screen, serif fonts look nicer on paper, cursive fonts look good on titles maybe sometimes I guess, Comic Sans looks good on a fourth grader's powerpoint presentation, bolds and italics are for specific instances of emphasis only, can we all go home now.[/font grouch] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Alear Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 In a bold design move sure to shock the industry, THORAXCORP.com recently acquired the 'Arial' family of fonts. "Times New Roman? More like Times OLD Roman," said webmaster Mark Delabor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashGordon94 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Well, I've now found that colored text is useful for emphasis sometimes, I felt the need to mention this so people don't call me a hypocrite based on my current sig.
