Ashiaveli Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 What font are you currently using with/for your themes? I'm using calibri but i'm bored of it. I like mac style lucida but cant get anything close in windows. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/451037-what-font-do-you-use/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey992 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I'm using a registry patch to run calibri exclusively. I'm also getting a little bored with it and I might go back to SegoeUI at some point. Arial is still my all time favorite though. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/451037-what-font-do-you-use/#findComment-587402052 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Napalm Frog Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Tahoma is nice and clean. I've tried Segoe, and like it, except it looks like garbage on my CRT. It seems to be more of an LCD font.

+John. Subscriber¹ Posted April 10, 2006 Subscriber¹ Share Posted April 10, 2006 Calibri or Segoe Tahoma is nice and clean. I've tried Segoe, and like it, except it looks like garbage on my CRT. It seems to be more of an LCD font. I had that, whenever I typed stuff like click, it came out as d!ck :p Turning on cleartype really helped though ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/451037-what-font-do-you-use/#findComment-587403193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
