Guilty! I used Comic Sans MS all over my first website. ^^; But come second version I used Verdana…but I still used Comic Sans MS for my headers. Those were the daaaays. :D

Joni, there’s also a not-so-nice story about Arial (versus Helvetica), if you haven’t heard. It’s kind of a Microsoft thing that’s ruining the reputation of these fonts, but nowadays that’s not what I mind anyway. :)

Shucks, parehas tayo! I don’t like Comic Sans MS at all. And yet there was a time (in High school I think) that I was using it, interchanging it even with Jester. Ew. lol.

I got this friend who uses Comic Sans as her default font in YM. She’s been using that for years! She has no idea that whenever we chat, I get annoyed a little. hehe.

Nowadays, Arial person ako. I don’t know why exactly. :D

I think any well-made type should be able to do that: be as legible as possible, even to dyslexics.

Haha, dorky lahat ng sinusulat ko, wag kang mag-alala. Haha!

One good thing about Comic Sans MS though is that dyslexics are able to read text using this type. Ãœ So it might not have much credit when it comes to design, but being dyslexic-friendly would be a good redeeming quality.

*adjust glasses*

(Haha, ang dorky.)

finally, a new possstttt! :P

well, i can say that i have never been fond of comic sans, too. though i have to admit, i used it a few times when preparing high school papers.

college saw me fawning over sylfaen and trebuchet ms. oh, you know that already.

now, i’ve been going back to — what else? — times new roman.
