I like this better.

Or this.
Wow.  I had to quote to read the latter.  That is tiny.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

It's probably less to do with it being tiny and more due to it being a poorly-scaled bitmap font. I could be wrong.

Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.

I can read it fine.  Are my eyes really that much better, or are the vague rumors about Steve Jobs being anal-retentive about fonts, so everything looks nice on Macs, really true?

I don't know, but it's looked different to me on both computers on which I've seen that post, so who the hell knows.

That being said, I COULD read it (on the other computer, but hardly on this one really... kind of have to use context to understand that this-or-that particular vertical line is a "t"), it's just that obviously a raster font isn't going to scale very well at all.

There are worse fonts to overuse. Every other time someone wants a "Zany" font, they tend to pick this near-unreadable thing. Also, whats with the stupid holes in the letters?

P.S. I enlarged the text size for your viewing convienence.

It's like you're all trying to outdo each other in sheer useless pedantry.

I still hate it.
