Default Fonts

What fonts do you like to use most?

For essays and stuff I always use Times New Roman and for notes I always use Gill Sans. And Comic Sans makes me want to rip my eyes out.

Times New Roman too. It's brainwashed into me at school/college etc so that my work looks professional.
Perhaps Arial as another professional font.

Verdana for web pages.

Any other font for using as text in Photoshop.

Tempus Sans is alright sometimes for variety, Tahoma is my god though.
I used to use Papyrus for everything, until I realised it was shit.

Times New Roman/Georgia.

I have to agree with you on your Comic Sans comment, Kirstie. My teachers always use it and tell me it's a good font to use on coursework and just noooooo. Ugly.

I'm glad other people hate Comic Sans. Teachers seem to love it, don't they Billie? Nearly all the notes I get given are in the damn thing. It's just so patronising, although it's so irrational to feel like I'm being belittled by small characters on a piece of paper.

I use Comic Sans for everything. Whenever I have to re-install MSN I always change my font to that first.

For essays I usually use that but sometimes Veranda is a better choice for reasons I can't be arsed going into. Comic Sans is always my first choice, though.
