i have seen some people in cb using this font, terminal (size 1) in their posts, which in my opinion i have a hard time reading them.

example:

if you use IE, here is how it will look like in firefox (picture credit: basick)

changing font is ok to me, but changing to a font (or size) that is not readable is an issue.

that gets pretty annoying to me.

so what are your opinions in this font? i believe many cb users switched to firefox from IE.

SORRY i am a firefox user so this font is completely not readable in firefox, but in IE, it is completely alright. i changed the signature since some of you got annoyed by it.

well, perhaps they just like the font? personally, i think it's too much work to change the font every single time you post. but that's just me.

Writing in different fonts doesn't bother me at all. I think it gives the people who post in different fonts more unique-ness. Sometimes I post in kartika size 4...like now. I don't do it all the time 'cause like someone said up there ^ it's too much work.

What's the problem...? Why should it matter? I'm not complaining about the typing in your signature.

i think it is too much work, too...IMO.

and i like the font terminal but as kristin already said, i don't see people do it much. and i like terminal CAPS more than terminal in lowercase. whistling.gif

I think it's annoying how you type in your signiture. mellow.gif No offense or anything. My point is that it shouldn't matter how a person types on here. You can still read it, it's just a bit annoying.

^ Hahaha, so true.

But I don't see why it should matter... If they like the font, then let them use it. It you can't read their post, then ignore it. And I don't see how the terminal font is hard to read... I can read it clearly.

Oh another is that if you have Firefox I don't think It would support the font so you would have to use internet explorer or maxthon.

I guess some people just like the font. I don't really care if they use it or not because it looks fine on my computer, but hm...I never thought it would look like that on Firefox.

I agree. When viewing using firefox it's all smashed together and you can't read it. But if I use Internet Explorer it's not that bad. If I was still using Internet Explorer I would be okay with it but a lot of people use firefox nowadays.

I thought that, too. But I guess it turns into a habit that you have to do. I sometimes even type this out for xanga comments. wacko.gif


I see no problem with it. Perhaps they really like the font. If you can't read it, you can just quote them to see what it says, or copy and paste it on Notepad. No problem. :D But color bugs me. If it's some blinding green, I'd freak then.

I like that font! _smile.gif I used to change my font size, color, and font. It got kind of tiring, so yeah I just...stopped. As long as people read my posts, I'm happy. Afterall, the content is more important that what the font looks like, right?
