[QOTD #8] PC Fonts And Colors

[El Héroe Oscuro]

Question Of The Day #8: Which font and color would you choose?

Whenever we write posts on PokeCommunity, the site is coded so you'll automatically have a generic font and color: Verdana and Black. For the most part, the majority of PC users stick with this format, not giving the vast amount of options a second thought. However, let's say that PC got rid of Verdana and the color black. Now, you must choose new formatting to implement for your posts. Which font and color would you choose to use in your normal posts?

Comment below in the style that you would like your posts to be set up in, as well as just tell us a fun fact about yourself to provide sustenance to the post. I'm currently taking a bunch of ballroom dance classes and so far know swing, foxtrot, and salsa. It's pretty fun! ​

I'd definitely use teal-colored Maven Pro. It's pretty much the font I love out of what PC has, and the color looks really nice with it. I even remember using a teal-like color in my customized usertitle so, yeah.

The answer is obviously comic sans

Probably Trebuchet MS. I can't pick a color because it's pretty much guaranteed that anything I'd want would clash with one of the forum themes.

bbbuuuuuut maybe teal hehehe :D

The font Play and this dark slate blue color would be the default font and color because I think it looks cool. Maven Pro looks nice as well.

Salsa dancing looks super difficult, but then I say that for just about every type of dancing. I don't really like dancing in general tbh.

I would most likely choose Tahoma, as it's very simplistic. Two other choices would be Open and Droid Sans, due to similar reason.

As for color, I'm not too sure on that, haha. If we're not allowed to go with black, then it would likely be a dark shade of gray--extremely dark.

But Verdana Black is awesome :(

But yeah, gonna choose what I've used when I was a wee little nub in PC, Century Gothic Green ^^ :33

ooooor Courier New Purple!

 

[Morgnarok]

I would use this font and color at all times xD

Green Color, Verdana Text, Bold & Size 1

On a side note a few years back I could of swarn in control panel we could set it to a certain color/font and it would always be our default when posting.

I've used Segoe UI and YELLOW GREEN back in my noob days. I wasn't aware that the color was unreadable for most people and on most light styles. It's embarassing xD. I really liked green though. So I switched to this green, and eventually when I got modded the first time, I switched to teal, which is a perfect teal <3

Back in like 2007 until 2009 there was this thing that a few people did where they would always type their posts out using Tahoma and they would type out the bbcode without any shorthand for every post they made and I was among those people who did that.
