Is the Buffy font available anywhere?

Interesting. I just did a search on the word "font" to see if I could find a link to the Buffy font anywhere. It seems that any post that used the font tag came up in the results.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Buffied (looks like that's the Mac version).

Famous Fonts has both Buffied and Angel.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Trebuchet looks fussy to me. I do like Verdana -- I just think we have the font size set too large.

As Jess said, Verdana is larger for it's point size than most other fonts. That's one of the reasons it's especially good at small point sizes (and I'll even admit that it's probably better for displaying a font size of -2 than Trebuchet). I'm not advocating Trebuchet as a replacement. I just hate being forced to use Verdana for the thread body text, because I find it less readable at that size than even Arial.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Hey, Rob's offer to code Marcie was gratefully accepted, right? Can he get on the list and start looking at the source code to start coding, even before CVS is fully available for him to test his changes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd rather do this all at once.

This topic might be dead, but one can make one's own stylesheet to get rid of Verdana-ed text if one is willing.
