elef Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I posted something evil about Times New Roman in GD. So the question is which font do you use? First thought was to place this in the bar, but actually it's interesting and may result in a poll. My vote is: Arial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 My vote is: Arial Is that Arial Black Arial Bold Arial Bold Italic Arial Italic Arial Narrow Arial Narrow Bold Arial Narrow Bold Italic Arial Narrow Italic or Arial Regular At least specify your actual favorite font rather than a generic subset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyinEwa/Perv Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I'm rather font of this one. And this one is not bad to make a point. This one is a little more girly but still ok too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elef Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 According to Bill Gates english in swedish Word/Microsoft Office it's just Arial so I guess it must be Arial Regular. BTW, are the others separate fonts or just variations of the normal Arial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 TTF is True Type Font, first developed by Apple and then adopted by Microsoft in 1991 in Windows 3.1 where as at the time most printers were using Post Script. Microsoft wanted Windows 3.1 compatible with Post Script printers and introduced Times New Roman (PS Times Roman) Arial (PS Helvetica) Courier New (PS Courier) So basically your preference to Arial (TTF) is just a modern version of Helvetica (PS) And you thought a discussion on fonts may be boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elef Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 And you thought a discussion on fonts may be boring Now we start to agree! Courier (not Courier New) is an old typewriter type of font, Times New Roman looks like that even if it isn't. BTW, have you noticed that you can decide the age of american movies from monitors and what shown on them. (I started to work with computers 1976 and some programs they show are older than that. I really hope that Pentagon today has more modern programs than 1976...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
