What's wrong with the font "Papyrus"? When Jonzu had the font in his signature, people gave him crap about it.

Isn't that a type of paper

Papyrus looks like sh** and is way overused. I curse Avatar for making it popular again.

It does look like crap!

Haha oh god Papyrus. I think I dislike it even more than Comic Sans and Arial.

freeziez · « **Reply #8 on:** June 25, 2010, 08:27:16 PM »

Yeah. And those are sooooooooooo plain!

It can not beat the retardation of Goudy Stout though.

Kabel Bold FTW.

Comic Sans has only ever been put to good use by P.Z. Myers.

In case you don't feel like hitting up the biology blag, he uses the font whenever he's quoting an idiot.

Arial is fine when it's being used for plain text. It should be avoided in all logos, though.

Yes! I wasn't expecting another Pharyngula reader here on GTM.

As a person that sometimes has to deal with web design, this makes me cringe. I once had to deal with a client that handed me a logo which he REQUIRED on his page. It was designed by his 12-yo kid, apparently in MS Word. The font used was Times New Roman D: .

Small fonts ftw.

I can't stand courier new, though. Courier looks fine in all its retro glory, but courier new looks like sh** that came out of a crusty old typewriter.

And that is why I decided against a career in graphic design.

What's wrong with arial ?

Terrible in media. Arial's made to be used in paperwork anyway. :P

It's only acceptable if you hail from the Neutral Planet.

I am true neutral, does that count ?

And i think Arial Bold was used on the original ragetoon (size 19 or something) so it's very fine for me !
