• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Your favourite font?

Anything readable is fine by me.

The ones I most use are Arial Narrow, Calibri (standard for Vista's MS Word apparently) and Tahoma.
 
Senior Saturno (Mr.Saturn font), Small fonts, and Pokemon FR/LG. Most of the default fonts seem to look almost exactly the same.
 
When essaying, I'll use Arial, because it's still easily readable in size 11 and when I have to double-space (I normally 1.5 it, though) and print off two copies, the smaller font size really makes a difference with my ink and paper consumption.

...I am such a student.
 
I used to use Times New Roman a lot.

I also use Lucida Console a lot, especially in Notepad.

I like the font from Magic: The Gathering also. Except those weirdass capital H's that look like very big lowercase H's.

Dirty Headline is a neat font, though I wouldn't really use it for actually writing anything.

Press Start is neat too. It's the "every 8-bit video game" font!

Also, I never understood why so many people hate Comic Sans...
 
There was this beautiful font called 'Dolphin' in an older version of Windows that I haven't been able to find anywhere. That's probably my favorite.

For just typing out normal stuff, though... Tahoma's my thing.
 
For normal text, I like Verdana; I just enjoy the readability of it.

I use Times New Roman to write my fanfics because I'm used to it. I dislike Arial; it's always looked really unappealing to me. Calibri looks pretty nice, though.

I'm sort of fond of Brush Script Std and Ænigma Scrawl, when we get to the handwritingish ones.

I don't really get the hate for Papyrus, in that while it is overused, it really does look pretty good. I mean, obviously you don't write serious text in it - you shouldn't do that with any decorative font - but as a decorative font I find it quite pretty, readable and tasteful compared to many others.

Comic Sans, on the other hand, I dislike because that is overused in spite of not looking good. I liked it when I was a kid because it was a cartoony handwriting-looking font, but from the moment I first discovered that there were other cartoony handwriting-looking fonts, I have yet to see one that does not look better than Comic Sans. I think Comic Sans's problem is that it has no actual personality to it despite trying to feel like handwriting; it looks like the handwriting of a machine that's trying to be cutesy. It makes me cringe. :/
 
Garamond and Georgia.

Garamond because it was the first font I ever typed in. I also called it "grandma" until I could read properly.

I like Georgia because of the way the numbers look.

THAT
That font.
I had that on my old computer. I couldn't find it to download either so I just saved it to a disk and transferred it to my new one that way.

At any rate, I can't remember if I've posted here or not. I enjoy script fonts quite a bit, but it has to be the loopy cursive-like ones.

For normal typing I like Verdana or Arial.
I rather dislike serifs.

I agree about the numbers in Georgia.

My favourites are Book Antiqua, Trebuchet MS, and Georgia. Calibri looks good on reports... professional. Arial simply looks blah. ;D
 
Raging Fire, Papyrus, Times New Roman, Garamond...uh...there's probably more...
 
Helvetica. Hands down, no contest. I mean, you just can't come close to the greatest font of all time.

Times and Garamond are my favorite serif fonts. American Typewriter and Groupsex are my favorite novelty fonts.
 
I like Comic Sans MS because it's cute and cartoony :)

Most of the time I stick with the default font (which I think is called Callibri or something), unless I'm writing something that needs to be decorated (such as school projects).
 
Calligraph 421 BT is cool.
Book Antiqua I like.
But Times New Roman is fine for me
darn it.. I tried to copy it in their own fonts
