0 stokd Posted March 31, 2002 Author Share Posted March 31, 2002 can someone make a list of all of them they can think of? I'm into the fancier stuff...well not that Comic Sans is fancy but I like different looking fonts. Is there a site that might have a list like this?

0 hurting101 Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 There's not alot of fonts that are wide spread and 'different' looking. Unless you want to have the text as a picture, you can't really get creative with fonts. Also, don't have one of those pages that you have to download the font to view it.

0 Danik XP Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Veranda & Arial are best for the web. They are standard so everyone has them on their system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 twist Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 i don't think weft works for anything besides msie. stupid netscape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 grimman Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 verdana and tahoma aren't standard issue on mac (at least not g3's afaik), so you'd best get them off that list =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screws over us Moz users and just isn't good style. Just stick to normal fonts, becuase you can end up making things too hard to read with weird fonts....
