# N E?
what's so hard about writing "any"? if you want it to make sense, write properly!

www.triskele.com/fonts.html has fonts that look just like the ones on roadsigns - this site was found by Missing and I bookmarked it.

# I've got it bookedmarked at work
it's one of those things that sooner or later, will come in handy.
A bit like the things that end up in the attic

Like the things you've invariably just thrown out because you've been hanging onto them for aaages

listen to Scrawn and Lard on R1 then quickly switch over to R2 for Steve Wright at 3, plus I know exactly when the comedy stuff comes on on R2 on a saturday......<shakes head>

# Yeah...
Radio 2 is pretty good isn't it?
Could be a new ad campaign - Radio 2, the choice of the discerning Goth...

Radio 2, for the discerning goth who's trying to escape from the mindless ever repeating shite that is the R1 playlist :)

# How nice for you
Have you considered using cut'n'paste, or "pootling" as it's becoming known?

# normal good old Helvetica

# yeah, but
Helvetica is still a commercial font so you've got to rely on the free alternatives.....

# You mean
like Arial, and Verdana, and Tacoma, and stuff like that - hard-to-obtain fonts?

# don't even mention
comic sans

oops!
(I helped save b3ta! kitty meow meow, Wed 9 Apr 2003, 0:31, archived)
# Comic Sans is perfect for older kids with
slow learning ability as well as kids of infant age who are just learning to read/write; over here it's the recognised font de jour for primary schools and other learning centres. It's just a pisser when adults use it thinking 'it's kewl'.

100% FACT!
