I use this fort for everything (Century gothic) - all personal correspondance and work materials. It has a nice bonus of being about 10 to 15% lighter on toner usage, which when you print a lot of lecture/seminar materials is a decent saving. That, and its not overused, yet.

CERN used comic sans in its Higgs Boson presentation. A little bit of me died inside with that choice.

My experience with comic sans haters though implies that they object to any use of the font, even on stuff like children's birthday cards.

No, it's about using it out of context. You don't use it for obituaries, resumes, or anything that is even remotely serious. It's like using smileyfaces every other word, or ALLCAPS, it conveys non-spoken information contradictory to the message. It's like shouting ecstatically "Hey buddy! Guess what? Your puppy *drumroll* DIED! " That inappropriate.

I mean, yeah, it's a really terrible typeface for those, but that's not its fault. Just because someone plays Norwegian Wood at a wedding doesn't mean the song sucks, just that the person is an idiot.

Well, here I am, a CS hater, telling you it's totally okay on birthday cards. If they are for children. Or anything else that's supposed to be comical, hence the name. The hate comes from the insane amount of people using it wrong.

No, no, the thought process is that, "You get paid for work. Work is not a thing you enjoy. Ergo, if you're enjoying what you're doing, it's A. Not Work. and subsequently B. Not to Receive Pay."

You know what I really hate? Having to judge lingerie models. Oh please, Br'er Fox, don't trow me in dat' Victoria's Secret judgin' box!
And if you do, I guess you'll need to pay me exorbitant sums to compensate for the mental anguish.

Personally, I love Jokerman. I just think it looks interesting, so whenever I decide to use a font for something not professional I use Jokerman. I am MetalSlimeHunt, and I approve this message. Damn if my username does not look absolutely fine in Jokerman.

My mother: "So, who are you going to vote for? Obama or Romney?"
Me: "I dunno. Maybe third party?"
Mother: "What if there ISN'T a third party?"



A mandatory political science test before being allowed to vote is sounding really good right now.

A mandatory political science test before being allowed to vote is sounding really good right now.

Just remember that someone who is not you and is probably an appointed official gets to write and grade the tests, and that idea should sour pretty quickly.

Yeah, yeah, I know...

Personally, I really enjoy cutting like a third of a page off of essays with naturally giant fonts.

CAN WE RETURN TO THE COMIC SANS DISCUSSION NOW PLEASE

I am offended by your careless use of magenta.

For extra irony, your avatar (when I hit the quote button) was a pink-and-magenta pony

I barely even see a difference between all these fonts.
