its ugly

[*StanleyThePanda*]

Comic Sans is indeed, the worst font ever...
Whoever created it needs to be shot in both feet, then the hands, then the thighs and then in his/her head.

[*Zatanna*]

Eh, I'm a verdana girl. Although I usually just use the default font here.

I tell you what - in the business world, nothing bugs me more than seeing memos typed in comic sans. It's just so unprofessional looking in my opinion. Worse - someone printing out a report and comic sans??!!! It's just wrong.

[becomingAWARE]

I will not talk to anyone on AIM who types in Comic Sans.

haaaaa
My teachers use it for quizzes, too. I used to hate it, but I have to get used to it. I amost [ALMOST] think it's cute now.
I can't not talk to people on aim for using the font--my best friend has been using the font on aim ever since he got his first screenname. :(

[technicolour]

Such an ugly font. Soooo ugly. Stupid teachers. Think they're so cool for using it. Yeeaahhh NOT.

[*AngelicEyz00*]

Dang, I remember when anyone would come into the chat with that font, we'd make them change it... but that was a looooooooooong time ago. I forgot all about comic sans and how annoying it is.

[julianaaa]

the font's annoying.
i think it should only be used when.. you actually like.. draw a comic on the computer or something.
i used to like it, and then i realized how retarded it looked.

Comic Sans is a digital typeface from Microsoft Corporation designed to imitate comic book lettering, for use in casual and informal settings. It was designed by in-house designer Vincent Connare in 1994, and a font has been shipped with Microsoft Windows since the introduction of Windows 95, initially as a supplemental font in the Windows Plus Pack. It has since become one of the most popular Microsoft system fonts. Comic Sans is used in both print and webcomics as a substitute for hand-lettering, although many comic artists prefer to use custom-designed computer fonts instead.

History

Microsoft designer Vincent Connare says that he began work on Comic Sans in October of 1994. Connare had already created a number of child-oriented fonts for various applications, so when he saw a beta version of Microsoft Bob that used Times New Roman in the word balloons of cartoon characters, he decided to create a new face based on the lettering style of comic books he had in his office. He completed the face too late for inclusion in MS Bob, but the programmers of Microsoft 3D Movie Maker, which also used cartoon guides and speech bubbles, picked it up. The speech eventually became true voice, but Comic Sans stayed for the program’s pop-up windows and help sections. The typeface later shipped with the Windows 95 Plus! Pack. It then became a standard font for the OEM version of Windows 95. Finally, the font became one of the default fonts for Microsoft Publisher and Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Criticism

Because of its ubiquitous use, Comic Sans has become the subject of a campaign by designers to eliminate its use, on the grounds that (as typographic purists claim) it is poorly designed and that its inclusion in the Microsoft system fonts package lends itself to inappropriate use—for example, as a text face in documents or at large sizes in signage.

Some font designers say that the typeface is poorly drawn, virtually equal weight being given to the downstrokes and horizontals, and little thought given to the kerning between character pairs, eliminating any of the informal characteristics of true hand-drawn lettering.

In his defense, Connare claims that it was not originally designed as a typeface, but as a solution to the problem of finding a font suitable for the packaging of children’s software. An example of the informal nature of the font can be found in the euro symbol (€), which in some versions has an “eye” cut out of the serif at the top, making the symbol appear to have something of a “face.”

Personally I think the font is ok. I mean no one is forcing you to use it. It's nice for comic books, easy to read. You may not like it for school assignments because it may seem childish or unreadable, but it's one font out of a thousand.

And your voting doesn't make sense.

Omigosh, yeah! Comic Sans is pretty much one of the ugliest fonts out there.

For some reason it reminds me of my grade 4 teacher, although, I did like my grade 4 teacher...

It's kinda funny how on www.bancomicsans.com they use the font on ALL of their stickers & t-shirts.

do you expect me to read that article
?

seven people love me and 22 don't like comic sans, that makes sense

I liked it before .. but I just stick to the regular font. Arial =)

In my opinion, it is really unnecessary for you to make a poll because you don't like the font Comic Sans. People can like it on their own will ; without you rubbing on their faces that you dislike it. The fact that your teacher uses it is their problem. I find it that it is really childish of how you dislike a font and making a topic out of it.
