    What font do you like to use? And why do you change your font in the first place, as it can take time to do? Or do you just use Default font all the time?



    As for me I always use Microsoft Sans Serif, I used to always use default font though. The reason why I use different font is because I have seen users like Forever and Magmaruby AquaSapphire etc. use different fonts in the B/W and it looks so much neater/cooler. Also it just gives me a way to be recognized, by just looking at the type of font they use. I picked Microsoft because it was the neatest there :)
     
    I use Tahoma as my font from now on until then.
    oh-em-gee 1500 posts! x]
     
    I use the default font when I'm on forums but when I'm doing things on word documents I tend to use Comic Sans.
     
    I don't care what font I use over the Internet, moreover on forums and such, but when I have something, an assignment for example, to do on Microsoft word or something, I usually use the Calibri or Tahoma font, and sometimes Verdana. :D
     
    On here, I use the font 'Segou UI'. I don't... really know why, but I like it and no one else seems to use it, so why not? :> When I'm working on stuff in word though, my font ranges, depending on what it is I'm doing. Homework assignments are probably going to be in Calibri, while essays and such the font will be whatever the teacher asks of me. Chances are, Times New Roman.
     
    I use Century Gothic cause it doesn't look as cartoony as Comic Sans, but still retains that laid-back sort of feel about me. Of course, my posts are hardly laid back at all XD
     
    my form default font mostly goes back and forth between pixelmix, helvetica (currently using), and apple garamond...but i throw in other obscure system fonts when i feel it's time for change. my post font is just the system default, i don't like feeling "out of place" in that regard.

    elsewhere my favorite font to use is courier new, but for projects where i have to come off as professional i'd likely use helvetica because it's so clean and decipherable.
     
    Up until a few months ago, I used to use Comic Sans MS for everything. But since almost (if not all) everyone uses it I decided to change to something else. I changed to Tahoma/Georgia. They're both pretty simple and clean looking and I like the fancy-ish look of Georgia. o3o
     
    I use Century Gothic, just because I like the style of the text. I've also downloaded a font that replicates the font used on US highway signs, but I don't use it as frequently because it doesn't look good for smaller font sizes... and because most people don't have that font installed.
     
    I don't set a font on my posts and suchlike; the usual choices are mostly only negligibly different anyway, like comparing the slightly differing shades of two red apples. I find it annoying to quote people who have loads of BBcode around their posts, so I know it's not something I'd want to put others through...

    Given reason to make a choice, however, I'll usually go with Arial Unicode MS out of mere practical interest.

    Tahoma, strictly. I tolerate most other fonts, but I find Tahoma the easiest on the eye and the most professional looking font. Personally, I wouldn't read posts that were made in Comic Sans MS, or I would do so but reluctantly. I think anyone using a font in which "stands out" more or uses colours other than default ones on forums, are over compensating for their posting quality, or maybe do it because they wish for their posts to be recognized more easily, either way; I dislike anything other than a plain font when it comes to posting and or documents. Graphics are another thing entirely, but the more professional the font, the more professional the post and or document will begin to look. I quite Arial however, but as I stated; Tahoma is my pioneering font choice.
     
    Tahoma for schoolwork, forums and IM clients.
     
    It depends. On the forum I use default but at school depending on what type of project I'm doing it can change
     
    On here I use Courier just because it's cool like that, especially in bright green. (Come to think of it, I don't even remember if I changed the font on this account or not. I'll probably post this and remember I didn't and look like a fool because I'm talking about using a bright green font on here when it's most obviously black. xD)

    On most other things I'll use Terminal, Fixedsys, or Commodore 64 Pixelized. I like those command prompt-ish fonts. Actually, I think Terminal is the font used for that, but I'm not sure.
    ...Unless of course I'm doing a school project, then I'll use whatever they tell me, and Fixedsys if they don't specify. :D
     
    I always use the default font while I'm in the forums. I used to use Comic Sans all the time for school projects, but due to rule changes, I use Times New Roman or Calibri as a font.
     
    I've always used Century Gothic, I think it looks perdy :D
     
    On PokeCommunity, I just use the default one (Tahoma, right?). Some users may view the font differently anyway, so I'm not going to bother changing it. Seems inconveniencing for me. :\

    On homework assignments, Calibri is the way to go! Times New Roman has gotten very annoying to look at during my school years, so I'm glad Microsoft Office 2007 defaulted to a new one. Looks refreshing in large text, as well. The only bad thing about it is that in a PowerPoint, people can usually tell you didn't bother to alter the default font (which might show that you actually invested time in your work).

    I hope that, in the future, Calibri is the default font for everything (essays, bibliographies, etc.). For some reason, it doesn't look like I'll tire of it. Times New Roman just screams "OLD", though...

    As a fun font, I love using Bank Gothic! So futuristic... I don't use it on papers or anything, but it is still my favorite font ever, with Arial Rounded MT Bold, Calibri and Bazooka following... :D

    Comic Sans seems bland for me now. I used to use it sparingly, but have strayed away from it for the most part. The fact that an anti-Comic Sans website even exists amused me... It seems like a font you'd use when you are trying to make the text in a document "pop"/aspire to be different, but your computer doesn't have modern or cool fonts available... :(
     
    I love using Verdana. It looks modern and also organised and great. XD
