Your favourite font?

Oh come on, every geek here will have a favourite font. :D

Anyone who talks to me on MSN will know that Georgia is practically 'my' font -- though I rather like Tahoma, Arial and of course, Verdana. And I've found that writing in Times New Roman somehow increases muse (no idea why).
 
I hate fonts like Arial. Give me anything like Times New Roman over it anyday. Book Antiqua.
 
I'm not one for changing my font. I generally just go with the default.
I do, however, use Bookman Old Style on MSN because it improves how the ">:l" emotion looks.
I've also grown fond of a font called "Anime Ace", which I use in my comic
 
It is much easier to think of fonts I don't like.

Like Papyrus. Let's not talk about Papyrus.

But let me make an effort. I have nothing against most defaulty fonts (Times New Roman, Verdana, et al.), but I prefer nice mono-spaced fonts - DejaVu Sans Mono, say. Actually, most of the DejaVu family is pretty nice.

Oh, and Minion.
 
Beautifully-rendered Helvetica.

Not quoting XCKD, my favourite is

something like this
(georgia)

And I'm also fond of Jellyka fonts.
 
Palatino Linotype!

I like Edwardian Script ITC and Chiller too, but I don't use them on MSN or anything. They work well on banners.

And I particularly like the custom fonts 'A Lolita Scorned' and 'Homicide Effect' as well. I use them in banners and things as well.
 
Garamond is my favorite, if anything. Nice and old looking, one of my favorite games uses it, to boot. Difficult to read at small sizes, though.

I use Courier New for IMing.

Why do people insist on using this font everywhere?
 
Sylfaen.

I really don't like sans serif fonts most of the time. I haven't a clue why. It always pains me when school dictates that I use arial for papers.
 
Sylfaen for me too, I think.

I don't mind papyrus as long as it isn't actually used for well... sentences. I find it okay if people use it for titles or other one-word things. Although I don't use it myself. I understand how papyrus is overused, but not people just seem to hate it because it's 'cool'. I've seen people who were okay with papyrus, but then once that one xkcd comic came out about it, they started hating almost straight away.

Comic Sans though, why is that used so much? I mean every single worksheet at my school school seems to be written in that. Why, it is to make it look more 'exciting'?

But when not using a video game font, I tend to stay with Times New Roman because I don't do much writing outside of school where Times New Roman is pretty much required.

Click to expand...

It's deemed to be one of the easiest fonts to read, apparently.
