Melie
my name's melissa and i WAS a fontaholic

unfortunately my laptop crashed about a month ago so all of my fonts are gone and i just got a new computer yesterday. so i'm definitely going to work on getting some new ones very very soon.

my favorite font of all time is pristina.

my name is christy. i used to be a fontaholic. i don't download them anymore unless i really really need it.

now that dafont is open- im gonna fall of the wagon. it's been two months since my last font download. >.<
Teesa
my name is teesa and i, also, used to be a fontaholic. like melie, my computer crashed a while ago which had most of my fonts, so i'm slowly downloading them back again.

i used to be obsessed with all of the pixel fonts, like 04b_03, redensek, and silkscreen. but i think my ultimate favorite is all the types of kravitz.

ForgiveTheSinner
my name is Ariel and I am kind of a fontaholic...in a sense lol.

I can go for months without downloading new fonts but then I'll hit a day and then my whole desktop is filled with font folders that needs to be unzipped.

My favorite ones would be the elegant types.

I just can't stop when that happens >.>

Handwriting fonts wub.gif

I spent about an hour yesterday, looking through fonts. I forgot which ones I downloaded, but I usually install them on my computer as soon as they finish downloading onto the hard drive. _smile.gif
libertie
Aww Rebecca. <33

I used to download fonts all the time, but now it seems like I'm too lazy until I absolutely need them.

Usually when I'm in the process of making a layout I realize that I have no interesting fonts, so then I go ahead and look for one. Doing this, I usually end up with one or two new ones. xD
Insurmountable
Oh I use to love looking up fonts and downloading and unzipping and everything. I guess after a while I found something else to do and now I waste my time doing that xD

I do have to say whenever I make something new I always go on the quest for a new font though, or when I go to a website or something and I'm just like "AHH I NEED THAT FONT!" xD
miyashu
i'm usually very picky when going through this stuff xD. i love grungy, handwritten, and some serif fonts.

my favorites are:

Hello, my name is Tina and I'm a former fontaholic. I got over my addiction about 2 and a half years ago, and since then had a relapse half a year later. I've been fully clean for almost 2 years now.

TOGETHER WE CAN DO THIS!
aaayotiffany
....what if i don't want to get over this addiction?
lmao. biggrin.gif

i love downloading fonts. although, i have to say i haven't downloaded any for about three months now. not because i don't want to, but because i don't have time. sad.gif
emberfly
so many fontaholics.........INTERVENTION
superstitious
I've been a bad, bad girl. Star Wars Fonts oh myyyy!

I tried, but the addiction proved too powerful.
aaayotiffany

*shameful* laugh.gif
michellerrific
I admit, I am an addict.



my current obsession is probably this one called Citrus 2008. It's by some guy named Eric. gahhh

Hi, my name is Syd, and I'm a fontaholic.
I love finding new fonts, especially grunge and handwritten ones.

Hi, my name is Zephyr and I used to be a fontaholic. But recently I've been really obsessed with using serif fonts for everything. In my opinion, you can do more with them without going overboard.

I love cursive-type fonts, though. :D
loquat
Favorite fonts? Least favorites? Styles? Etc. etc. etc.

I particularly like Arial and Georgia, and Times (at certain spacings). Also, as of late, I've been liking Hannibal Lecter.

Least favorites of course would be the overused ones--Comic Sans, Scriptina,.. I've been seeing Matisse ITC on signs around town lately, and that bugs me a lot. D:

Edit NO.
The-March-Hare
Does it make me sad that I think Comic Sans is fun?
Tung
lol comic sans feels so kiddish. i use to like it back in elementary school.

but i agree with loquat, as I love arial for some reason.

and edit your title, you're stretching the boards lol.
loquat
Roaaaar, so I was linked this after my FONTSFONTSFONTSFONTS topic, BUT ANYWAY, .. my name is Anna, and I'm not really a fontaholic because I'm too lazy to ever download new fonts and unzip them, so I keep the ones I use pretty regularly in a folder on my external and don't ever get new fonts. :D
manny-the-dino
i edited the topic title & edited it back? please don't do that. like it said, it stretches out the boards.

I shortened it enough so that it doesn't stretch out the boards; get over it.

STOP TOUCHING MY THREAD TITLE. WTF.
manny-the-dino
k i don't see why you'd have to get so mad about this. it's just a topic. i told you i edited it & then you change it back. if you would have asked if it was okay to make it long again but in a way that it didn't stretch the boards, i would have been okay with that.
loquat
Hi, to be perfectly frank, I don't need permission to edit MY OWN TOPIC TITLE, regardless of length, and had you looked at it on the board index after I had edited it back, you would have seen that it didn't stretch the page, as I had James (The-March-Hare) look over it for me and help me out, being as how it didn't stretch the boards on my resolution the first time either. And also, me? Mad? Over this? Ha. Get over yourself, and again, get over it.
Tung
@manny - stop being a hypocrite, telling her "it's just a topic title". if it's just that, then why care so much to edit her title. leave it the f**k alone, if she wants it left alone. don't you got some stuff to do in the queue.
manny-the-dino
guys, i'm just trying to do my job. the title was stretching the boards so all i did was fix it, k?
Gigi
I love News Gothic MT. I don't know why. I like Verdana when it's 8 pt or smaller. I generally like Arial because it's an easy to read, no-fuss font.

Comic Sans has its own situations where it can be used, appropriately. However, whenever I see that font nowadays, I'm just reminded of my high school math notes. What is it with high school math teachers and Comic Sans? I think they like to try to add some fun to an otherwise emotionless subject.

rofl, I didn't realize it was a universal thing; I have the same impression about Comic Sans..
ernestprongs
Personally I love arial, and usually don't ever use anything else, too lazy to look at other fonts.

I remember using comic sans for an english paper back in junior high. Oh, and double spacing with it also.

i'm a fontaholic.
but im not really sure on where to find good font sites.

i know

dafont.com which is pretty good.
what else sites are good for downloading fonts?
Insurmountable
Basic fonts, I love georgia and arial, it has to be set just right though.

I hate cosmic sans, I remember taking a computer class in high school and that's the only font she ever used. Annoyed the hell out of me and I would get a head ache having to read the ugly font >_>


lols at least you didn't get warned for editing back your topic title. XD Not that it has happened before, but it would have been funny.

^Dude, that's because we have something called standards and we know what looks right.
nikx618
^i see. but, some staff are just unreasonable.

Arial and Tahoma and I think Georgia sans is another one I like.
highwayto4355
my current fave font is kingthings spike. it's so prettyyy!

i like having fonts squished together for stuff then spread apart for links

least fave font is scriptina . hands down.
Melissa
I dislike script fonts in general. If i had to use a scripty font, it'd be Mistral, but probably because it's always my fall-back script-plan font.

I like Arial; I use it all the time. I just found Nyala (i think that's how it's spelled), too, and I really like it.

and wtf @ spelt not being a word? :(
MzMali
i think arial is the best font; it looks nice on any site. [=

I like georgia, times new roman, arial, trebuchet ms...
I dislike comic sans, and a ton of downloadable fonts. I don't feel like looking them up right now, and I don't feel like getting on the other computer to look up some more of my favorites. laugh.gif

I don't know that I hate scriptina itself, I'm just sick of seeing it. Of course, I don't see it all the much anymore but for a while it was just everywhere.

I used to use Black boys on mopeds a lot. joeHand as well.

For something simple, I prefer sans types of fonts (comic sans excluded. I truly dislike that one, always have). I think that Expressway is clean, has some meat to it without being too blocky and easy to read.
loveOURworld
I like Arial, Tahoma, Georgia, Times & Verdana.
I don't like Comic Sans D<
Gigi
When it was first used and wasn't so freaking popular, Scriptina was quite pretty, I thought. And then everyone and their mother started using it, and Scriptina started showing up on clothing labels, perfume bottles, you name it...and I just started hating the font. It's gross.
