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.

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 >.>

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

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

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

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!

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
