I refuse to even say the cs words, ever. It's a crime against mankind (especially graphic designers) to use that font. As the mother to 3 kids with 9 consecutive years of Elementary school Friday folders full of letters, forms, flyers and handouts written exclusively in that font, I've considered working to get some kind of measure on the next ballot limiting it's use.

I’m with you on the Comic Sans! Enough already. Ha. I love fonts. I need to figure out how to add more to my PaintShop Pro because it only came with about 3 basic ones.

I see you already talked about the color of ’09. I’m behind! On a cold, gray, wintry day like this, Mimosa looks awfully warm and appealing!

I’ve been ill the last few weeks, plus Christmas and all…I have to figure out how to transfer them- then they’re yours!IF you know how, or anyone reading this, please let me know, I’d greatly appreciate it!

Ok, I’ll stop using comic sans. Can you help me download free fonts? I like the megalopolis? I went into the site pressed download then it went into my file folders. What would be the next step?

Mommyknows:

Rule of thumb… try not to use more than 2 different fonts per page. 3 fonts are okay in certain situations. If you use a serif font like Times Roman for a title, use a sans serif font like Gill Sans as an accent or smaller font. Wild looking funky fonts are okay as titles, but best to stick with simple ones for body text.

Here is a great resource for fonts:
