Also, the Comic Sans reminds me:Schools these days have decided that Comic Sans is the best font because it's easy to read, so most schools in the country now use Comic Sans for as much as possible. I noticed this today, and asked about it.
I am very unimpressed, and wish to change it to Century Gothic :(

is that that their justification?i assumed teachers used it for the same reason office workers who put up notices used it - wanting to come across as informal, non-threatening and fun.
this despite most people who see it thinking it an example of head-in-your-hands, arse-clenching 'zaniness' to be avoided at all costs

I once ranted to my english teacher when she wrote a whole fucking essay using it.She agreed with me, however, and let me off wit ha warning "Don't say that to anyone else because they might not agree with you".

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sans-serif
Gothic: Not to be confused with blackletter typeface, the term was used mainly by American type founders. The term probably derived from the architectual definition, which is neither Greek or Roman; and from the extended adjective term of 'Germany', which was the place where sans-serif typefaces became popular in 19th to 20th century. Early adopters for the term includes Miller & Richard (1963), J. & R. M. Wood (1865), Lothian, Conner, Bruce McKellar. Although the usage is now rare in English-speaking world, the term is commonly used in Japan.
[edit: pointless footnote references begone. you can read it on the page if you want them]

you shouldalways use a sans serif font if you are projecting it; just for printed text not so important. you should never use comic sans, it's plain shite. i saw a slide set from an oxford professor in comic sans. it should be a sacking offence.
