...because fonts are important.
a good font has a few requirements:
first off, it should be elegant, but not noticeable, the characters should help your eyes flow one into the next... a few fonts i really like are the standards: Times, Arial, Arial Narrow Bold, Cochin and Euphemia UCAS (but only when used with smaller fonts, otherwise it's overbearing)
one of the ones i hate the most though (no, i'm not a ComicSans hater) is calibri, why in the love of all that is intellectual and easy to read would the new MS Word DEFAULT to calibri?!?!
also, sometimes, i'll pick up a book at the library, completely written in point 8 size with this terrible out-dated font that is next to impossible to read... after a page or three you're ready to burn the book and accept the fine from the library!!! the closest thing i can find to it online is called JSL Ancient. not a terrible font, but in 8 point and for 3 hours of research... it gets bad. so, if you have a favorite font or a most hated font (other than ComicSans, u're not allowed to complain about that one on here) just post a comment!!!
oh, and i found a really great blog here!
so there you have it, with the aid of that blog, and whatever ideas i might have implanted in that wonderful brain of yours, you might be able to become a bit more picky on your fonts :D
