One day I just got sick of Comic Sans. I can’t stand comic sans — or scripted fonts. Takes email professionalism down a notch.

Times New Roman I don’t care much of, despite the fact that my school/university sort of wanted to mandate that when writing school papers. I just thought it was overused.

I did do software coding for a while, and narrowed my font favorites down to Arial, Franklin Gothic Medium, and a few of the serif-ed ones (i.e. Cambria). I prefer Arial (8pt) or Verdana (8pt) with Excel spreadsheets, and Courier New (no larger than 10pt) for text editors.

Yeah — I admit I am pretty anal with my fonts.

Too bad Baskerville isn’t one of the font options in Yahoo Mail. But Garamond, another antique font, is — I’ll make that my default.

There’s Baskerville in MS Word though — I’ll use that. The credibility of my memos should shoot up henceforth!
