I have to go back to the font thing for a minute: WHY would you do this??? [link] It's really hard to read, and that annoys me. Just because a font is pretty doesn't mean you should use it, dang it.
(Yes, I just gave The Boy my font rant, complete with examples of the movie titles in other fonts. I think he wants to trade me in for a normal girlfriend. Fortunately, our relationship involves a No Backsies clause.)

It's an okay font for the bar across the top that has showtimes, etc. But to list the movie titles and times in it? My eyes bleed. I guess I should be thankful they didn't use Comic Sans.
So I guess you're not font of that typeface?
Not this times, my friend. Not this times.
What I hate worse than any font choice are backgrounds that make text unreadable. Like, umm, 90% of the intros to the Sandman...
I have a survey question for all you fantastic font freaks!
Readability text, basic paragraph text, which do you favor Serif or Sans Serif?
Paper or screen?
eta: I'm guessing from your post elsewhere about your book-editing project that you're talking print. In that case, serif.
Yes and no, amy. It will be in print form after it is downloaded as a pdf from a website, which means it could be read on the screen as well. Thus, my dilemma.
Do you anticipate that people will be reading it in PDF form online?
On screen I dislike a serif. On the page, I like it.
Oh look, my trademark nastiness is quoted on wired. My mother would be so proud.
Oh Tamara, that wasn't nasty. Saying, "Way to get the stank of failure on a show a year ahead of time, you nimrods!" would be what I was thinking, and? Nasty.
I want Tim to talk more Buffy stuffy.

Um, yes please! Also, what's the latest on Miracle Man. That's the title, right? It seems like I haven't heard anything about it for a while, with all the Dollhouse talk, not that I mind the Dollhouse talk.
After looking at Chocolate Box, I fell in love with it and downloaded my first font ever. Well, I guess I downloaded Open Office, which came with fonts, but still. Only, I'm running Open Office on a MacBook with X11, and it seems like the font is outside of X11, but not inside of it, so I'm off to Buffistechnology to see if anyone can help me make the pretty font usable!
