What if famous logos were in Comic Sans?

What's wrong with Calibri? It's a fairly inoffensive font... As a general rule I use Times New Roman, I prefer Bookman Old Style myself but it's not professional .

Calibri at least looks professional. Someone I work with uses CS in her e-mail signature. Just one of a long line of reasons why I find her intensely irritating.

For us they have a set a rule saying that we must use Times New Roman at size 12 so there are no worries in the font department.

...apart from the fact that you have to use the most hideous standard font of them all.

TNR is an easy to read font, it's meant for large blocks of text. Try printing the same story in Helvetica or some similar sans-serif font and you'll go blind trying to read it.

By the way, I shot the serif.

But did you shoot the deputy?

I did not, but I swear, it was in self defense.

Am I weird for never having that problem?

Yes.

I don't like TNR. I actually think its more annoying to read, I prefer sans-serif fonts any day of the week.

 

[Archie411]

I usually don't have any problems with fonts unless if its super fancy or Wingdings

 

[mpicco]

Too late for this??

 

[MWF]

Not at all. On the strength of the last run I find that singularly appropriate.

:lol: Our whole department (and possibly the whole local govt) has determined Calibri as the 'official' font.

At least at my university I've heard numerous professors and TAs complain about student using Calibri for their papers. That's because it is the default font in MS Office...along with the retarded 1.25 inch margins on left and right.

Pretty much what toma_alimosh said. But why are they complaining about Calibri? I mean its not childish as Comic Sans and its easy to read. Do they just want something other than the default font?

I like Arial myself and I am sure someone will berate me for that.

Well it's a redhead and it IS Redliner we are talking about here

 

[MWF]

Yeah but I'm willing to bet dollars to pesos she's a bit fishy down there!

I once had to communicate with someone who, if you counted colors and sizes as unique variations, had 8 fonts in her email sig.

At my job, the standard for all email is Arial, and sometimes Century Gothic for specific documents/presentations.
