    Question Favourite Font

    Fonts as in Arial, Courier, Times New Roman etc...

    Too many to list in a poll but I changed to Calibri today after many years loyalty to Arial. Liking it so far...

    That one looks quite nice Pete. I generally stick with TNR, or occasionally Arial, but I'm not terribly fussy. One thing that irks me though is when people used Comic Sans in official documents. It looks like a small child just handwrote their document.

    Comic by name & nature me thinks.

    Don't like sharp edges of TNR. Like rounded fonts & Arial looking harsh recently.

    Tahoma not bad either.

    I've been a Bookman Old Style-man for years now: I dabble with the others, but I always come back to good old BOS.

    Nice style Calibri, hadn't come across that one before.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    I really hate standardised default fonts like Comic Sans, Arial, Times and the likes and I avoid them if humanly possible. I like a lot of Mac based fonts, stuff like Frutiger, StoneSans, Eurostile, Formata, Myriad etc....

    Arial is the winner for me. I'm sick of Times.

    I think it has to be Arial or Times for documents. 99% of my font usage is email.

    Times New Roman for me - it implies intelligence and efficiency.

    Makes for fantastic headings and logos and such. For normal, everyday use I've just got (Free)Sans.
