I'm a fan of TrebuchetMS for email, but I'm reading the board in Arial.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

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

I feel like I'm at a wine tasting party. I've been going through and testing all the fonts. (I'm such a geek) Now we are moving into the fancier wines fonts though because I don't see those on Word. It might also be that I have an old version of Word. I do have TrebuchetMS and Arial though. I think I prefer the former for it's cleaner lines blah blah, and it's kick ass name.

I don't see those on Word

You know, you all have introduced to new and interesting fonts. Thank you. I have been using Times New Roman as my default for something like 15 years. I like getting out of my comfort zone. I was getting tired of it anyway.

I also like optima. Sometimes I go old school with CG Omega.

There is nothing good about Gill Sans. It has no character. I think the last time I used it was when I worked for a newspaper that used it as its default sans serif. *Shudder* Optima manages to add a hint of sensuous curve to a sans serif, but Zapf is a genius. Papyrus has its uses as a display type, but was quite frightening on that original clip.
I am fond of Goudy Old Style; Stone Informal and Serif; Novarese; and Caslon. The latter probably gives a warm fuzzy feeling because of its familiarity, plus its quite readable. Helvetica is probably my one true sans serif. There was an era when Souvenir was so overused that I can no longer see it without shuddering.

Oh, I like Stone a lot as well.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I really like Europa as a sans serif font.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
DAMN, I love you all.

I know! I am LOVING this font conversation. LOVING the geekiness of the Buffistas and font choices. *sniff* My people!
