billpika_x8 Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 I discovered that you can change the font to comic sans here! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! :devil: Quote
Xepha Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Congrats on finding that by yourself ;) Side note: Comic Sans was voted "worst font" in my Typography class by most students. Why we hate it so much? Well, mostly because it's misused by a lot of people who think it's cool... :P (Though feel free to use it, by all means, if you do like it.) Quote
billpika_x8 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Posted January 21, 2012 It's free speech at it's best. While horribly abused and overused, comic sans is cool when its use is controlled. I sound like a doctor. :P Quote

I'm not surprised, I really dislike it XD I agree with your reasoning as well- it reminds me of like.. leaflets made for 'kidz' that are meant to be informative but cool at the same time ;) haha Gahh do you have to make it so big billpika? *eyes fall out* XD Quote
billpika_x8 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Posted January 21, 2012 I could make it even bigger if I wanted to, so I did. I am such a bad person. Quote
Saxen Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Ewww that's nasty XD What a meanbean you are :P Quote
rachiee Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I don't like Comic Sans...it used to be my default font on MSN when I was like 11. I'm in high school and I still see teachers use Comic Sans for certain things, but I don't see it as much as I did in elementary and middle school, thank god. (For example, I saw that my friends' honours geometry teacher used Comic Sans for a review packet. I don't know this guy and I normally don't judge people based on font choice, but I already can't take him seriously just because he uses Comic Sans...) Quote
khaos Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 You know what font I don't like? Algerian. It's supposed to be a title font, and I just don't like it. :/ Here's what it looks like: Meh, I just don't like it. We should make a topic about fonts. :O Quote
Jeanie Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 This one is cool. I like this font, makes me feel weird. Lucinda is pretty too. I like the georgia font as well. But I think my fave is good ole Arial. Quote
leedom111 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I get mad whenever I see papyrus anywhere, because it's terribly overused, especially for "foreign" or "exotic" things. Quote
Sakabato Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 You can also change to any font as well. Snap ITC is my favorite personally, I used it a lot too. Quote
April Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I like plain old Verdana. =D And a lot of awesome fonts that aren't here! Quote
Jess Is Somewhere Else Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Well I don't change the fonts here, but... Out of the availalbe ones here, I'd have to go with georgia. Quote
Tedhaun Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Comic Sans is for people who want to sound funny or like a comedian. Courier New is for people who like that old-world typewriter feel in their posts. I'm used to Verdana myself when it comes to fonts to use on the forums, and it's my favourite out of all the available fonts. Quote
lilshadowdweller Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Am I the only one who hardly notices or cares what font is used? :mellow: Heck, I hardly even know the different font styles and I seldom notice if they are abused or not. o__o Guess I'm not too observant! :laughingsmiley: And I like that you're having a good time with this discovery. ^_~ Quote
billpika_x8 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Posted January 22, 2012 This font really does look old. This font is really standard looking. I wonder why? COMIC SAAAAANS! Quote
Angeló Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I'm using Times New Roman to complain - where's Garamond ?? it's the most elegant of fonts but this one makes one sound like an intellectual ... like you're reading the New Yorker .. try to read the following line with Morgan Freeman's voice : Glitter Ponies prancing in a meadow of rainbows Quote
Nataluna Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 i like this flowchart on how to chose a font :D caution its a big image (meant as a desktop) my favorite font is calibri :) Quote
Trig Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 I personally love Comic Sans...hence why that is the font used in my signature :) Quote
Sweetdang Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 You know what font I don't like? Algerian. It's supposed to be a title font, and I just don't like it. :/ Here's what it looks like: Meh, I just don't like it. We should make a topic about fonts. :O ALGERIAN FOREVER AND EVER. I can always recognize t when I see it: in shop names, notices, projects... IT'S THE NO 1 NOTICABLE FONT. Quote
Sakabato Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 ALGERIAN FOREVER AND EVER. I can always recognize t when I see it: in shop names, notices, projects... IT'S THE NO 1 NOTICABLE FONT. I adore the font too, I'm using it in a made-up game picture, truly a classic. Quote
Trig Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 I'm not a huge fan of that font, although it's not too bad, I've just never used it before. I actually really like using Times New Roman for school projects, mostly because you have to choose that or Arial and I don't like Arial :3 Quote
