Title: Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Post by: Walfredo on June 05, 2009, 07:53:03 AM I'm kind of slowly working on an Audit Report today, because it is all I really need to do. And I have a bunch of hours budgeted for it so I'm in no hurry. Well I found myself switching the font of our standard report template to Tahoma. Not sure why but there is something serene in it's elegance and structure. It is definately my favorite font. So what say you ho's.

Title: Re: Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Post by: Fuzzy on June 05, 2009, 08:17:38 AM Tahoma is good. Arial is getting tired. Garabond and Verdana work for me.
But Wing Dings rock. Title: Re: Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Post by: dystopia on June 05, 2009, 08:19:31 AM Tahoma rocks. For some reason, I'm using Futura-11 for my editor.(just for programming, no printing) I switched to it a while ago and never bothered to try anything else.
I went through a Times New Roman phase in the late 90s when I did a bunch of sites/logos in it. It was a dark period and I was deservedly mocked for it. Title: Re: Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Post by: gleek on June 05, 2009, 08:26:59 AM I like the Verdana typeface for small font sizes. Calibri is kind of cool too.

I'm a verdana guy myself - but most of our document templates at work are arial, which I'm ok with. Title: Re: Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Title: Re: Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Post by: spacey on June 05, 2009, 09:10:29 AM I'm generally a fan of sans serif fonts. Of the options listed, I like Calibri. I'm also fond of Frutiger.

In the past I always just went with the default fonts (Visual Studio, Eclipse, etc.) because it makes an easy transition when looking at other peoples' machines. But I made a mistake and got a 13" laptop. I usually don't maximize my editor, so I'd run into situations where the code would run off the screen. So I kept trying different fonts until I found one that was sufficiently narrow and readable. Title: Re: Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

I was being semi-serious. It took quite a while to get used to looking at. One of my machines @ work is a Mac. ;D Title: Re: Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Bye the way Walfredo, this thread is a bit ghey!! :P ;D ;D Title: Re: Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Title: Re: Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Post by: Clive on June 07, 2009, 09:27:03 PM Verdana for email, Arial for documents that get filed, Times New Roman for contracts ('cause my boss likes TNR).
I'd go with this, mostly for what I could "express" with it: Title: Re: Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Post by: Seamus on June 08, 2009, 01:39:36 PM I downloaded the uber cool Klingon fonts. There's nothing like cussin' someone out in Klingon.
