Voyageur Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I was at a dinner party a while back where some of the pepes started talking about fonts. Good fonts...... rotten fonts ...... favourite fonts.....and on and on and on for nearly 3/4 hour Christ. http://emotloader.hu/emoticons/sad/triste_22%20-%20emotloader.hu.gif Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/21798-font-geek/#findComment-519760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor Chevalier Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Now I used to be a massive fan of CG Omega but Microsoft dropped it from their standard palette :'( so now I have to make do with Tahoma which is of course fine but just not as good.Like that you mean.

It's not a system font and it doesn't ship with Office so unlikely to be on other people's machines. Verdana over Tahoma, personal taste. And more readable if used for paragraph text, especially at smaller sizes.

Sue Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I love fonts too!Got a whole book about them - "Just My Type" by Simon Garfield. Haven't read much of it yet though .... too many books on the go at once .....I like "Identity" which we use for some of The Goose poster headings (though we're about to change the poster design) but it has strange spacing glitches which are very annoying if you're using it in Word, and sometimes runs letters together or puts them miles apart.In a hurry and shouldn't be on the forum at all, so can't find an example - would have to find a pdf to post.ETA: Just realised, if you click on the Goose link the main heading on the home page is in Identity.
