Uhhh
I use comic sans in all my lesson handouts.

God, you are useless, fleshling.

I love this cartoon

DIE IN A FIRE.
Comic Sans is the nadir of human civilization.

I dunno, it gives off a friendly vibe that other fonts lack.

:lol
Comic sans is okay for text in speech bubbles and such. I'm sick of seeing Arial though. Use other sans fonts n00bs.
-
lol typography fegs
-
Name me some other decent fonts that look nice and not too authoritarian. Fonts that come in the basic Word package, 'cuz that's all I have access to. Comic sans fulfills that need for me, and I don't get why there's apparently so much hate for it.
-

Now you're just being disingenuous.
Right?
I mean, no real human being actually thinks that (except for 50-year-old cat lady secretaries).
You do realize that there are fonts that don't come pre-installed with Windows, right?
Thousands of fonts?
Each and every one of which is better than Comic Sans, the single worst thing to happen to type in the past 500 years?
STEPS TO RECOVERY
First, go kill yourself.
Second, be reborn as a person who isn't a total typographic douchebag fuckmonkey.
Third, go to this font foundry (http://www2.wind.ne.jp/maniackers/designfont.html) and download dozens of "fun" fonts that are also creative, easy to read, and pleasing to the eye.
Fourth, enjoy your new life as a someone who isn't an r-tard Special Olympian that gets his rocks off releasing B4 handout Tijuana Bibles of his Gutenberg corpse-rape.
Basically, IF YOU USE COMIC SANS IN YOUR HANDOUTS YOU DESERVE TO BE SKULL-FUCKED BY A PORCUPINE. NAMBLA has a better logical argument that people who think Comic Sans is "fun."

Dear typography cigarillo,
I write my lesson plans at work. We are not allowed to download and install ANYTHING at work. That includes fonts. There is absolutely nothing wrong with comic sans, and only elitist douchebags think so. So fuck you.
P.S. Also, my handouts are on A4 paper. Dick.
-

You're the reason children today are pussies. If it's typed, it needs to have serifs. If you are teaching the kids english, why not go the extra effort to teach them minimal good typography skills?

No.
-
Make your lesson plans at home, then. Seriously.
Comic Sans is like the John Wayne Gacy Jr. of fonts. It looks like a fun clown on the outside but it kills children and fucks their corpses on the inside.
In all seriousness, if you are making a conscious decision to use Comic Sans, you could at least have the common human decency to feel guilty about it.
-
Hey, dumbass...if I make my lesson plans at home using other fonts and then bring them to school to print them out, I'll have to redo them because the school computer DOES NOT SUPPORT THE FONTS I WROTE THE HANDOUTS WITH.
-
No. Serifs have been proven to make things harder to read.
Comic Sans has been proven to make me want to kill anyone who uses Comic Sans.
Hey, dumbass...if I make my lesson plans at home using other fonts and then bring them to school to print them out, I'll have to redo them because the school DOES NOT SUPPORT THE FONTS I WROTE THE HANDOUTS WITH.
I figured you were smart enough to use a self-contained document format that includes the font data. But I guess if you think there is ever a reason that using Comic Sans is justifiable you aren't that smart.

I never knew fear from the internet until this day. You people scare me. It's a font.
Well to many it's a form of design. The only crime greater than using Comic Sans is using another font and changing aspects of the typeface teachers\designers go crazy over that :o
Also serifs are easier to read in print but sans serif are better on screen.
-
I use comic sans in handouts too. Better than any font you ever made.

I'm not some kind of poindexter who gets pissed off at people because of the fonts they use for high school handouts. Sorry.

Font is a voice, and Comic Sans is Gilbert Gottfried.
When you use Comic Sans, all the words you write just like "hurbidee durbidee I like to fuck chickens and cattle bluhbluhbluh."

Hey, man. You're obviously enjoying making snarky comments, but what other fucking friendly-looking font would you suggest? KIDPRINT?!
Or you could pretend to be a human being for a second and tell me how to make a "self-contained document format" in Word so I could switch from comic sans to something else.

Jesus Christ. And people think japafags are nerdy. :lol
For the purposes of my work, comic sans suits me just fine. I want the lesson handouts to have an informal feel to them, and as I have said repeatedly, none of the other pre-installed fonts serve the purpose quite as well as comic sans.

Comic Sans doesn't have an "informal" feel, though.
It doesn't say "fun," it says "I don't have any idea how to actually make this text look fun and interesting, so I am just going to throw Comic Sans on there because Microsoft tells me it's 'fun', but it's not."
It reeks of cluelessness and desperation.
-
Patel, why did God make your asshole so big? So you could defecate poop onto your keyboard?
And yes, even the stupid bancomicsans page you linked to says that there ARE some appropriate uses for comic sans and that it exudes "silliness." You're being a huge nerd about this.
And you're also being an asshole because I actually asked you to show me how to do the "self-contained document format" thing you were talking about, but you're happier just slinging shit. Kind of like a monkey. A little trained monkey.
-
Ichirou, why not do ONE SIMPLE THING to ensure that the kids know what kind of typeface to use where? What if they have to write a goddamned letter in english some day? It is two tiny things to teach that would put them above the vast majority of other english writers, at least in America.
Willfully using Comic Sans, and then acting like it is your only choice is distinguished mentally-challenged. It's not a font meant to be put on paper, and it's not a good looking font, period.

HEY
I HAVE ASKED REPEATEDLY IN THIS THREAD
WHAT FONT YOU FOLKS WOULD RECOMMEND
AND YOU JUST DECIDE TO IGNORE AND BERATE
SO FUCK YOU WHITE MAN
AND FUCK YOU PATEL
-
USE CHALKBOARD INSTEAD
-
TIMES NEW ROMAN ON PAPER, TARD! Garamond if you know a machine has it.
You probably shouldn't even be teaching people english if you don't know jack about the language.
-
I gave you a link to a page with hundreds of good fonts. I'm sorry that your school doesn't allow you to install fonts but that's really no excuse for using Comic Sans.
It's funny you call me a monkey--the ability to make aesthetic judgments about what is and is not pleasing is one of the biggest things that separates us from the animals. I would argue that by using Comic Sans you are lowering yourself to the level of an uncaring primate. Be a man! Use a real font!
And I gave you a real suggestion: any font other than Comic Sans. You should never use Comic Sans for any reason.
EDIT: If you read the link Viz provided, the creator of the font himself says that Comic Sans was "NOT designed as a typeface but as a solution to a problem with the often overlooked part of a computer program's interface. ...There was no intention to include the font in other applications other than those designed for children."
It was not designed as a font for documents that you create, print out, and share with people. It was created as a UI-font for children's software.
-
There is no font called "chalkboard" installed as a default on Word. I just checked. And I'm not using Times New Roman. Too fucking formal.
I'm going to keep using Comic Sans just to spite you fuckers.
-
Verdana and Tahoma are good choices
-
There is no font called "chalkboard" installed as a default on Word. I just checked. And I'm not using Times New Roman. Too fucking formal.
What a fucktard. In print, you generally use serif fonts. I named a serif font every computer has.
And too formal? You are supposed to be teaching them the language--this isn't smile time funny pages laughie hour. Teach them the goddamned typography.
-
chalkboard is mac, just messin wit you
its comic sans-esqe
verdana is coo

You know what? In all seriousness, you don't know shit about my job, so shut the fuck up.
I am teaching them the language. The setting is supposed to be informal and open so as to encourage a casual relationship between the teacher and the students, which will encourage them to open up and try to communicate in a foreign language that most are embarassed to speak in front of their peers. Having simple-looking handouts facilitates this. You are being an utter ignoramus: if you think something written in TIMES NEW ROMAN or GARAMOND, serif fonts that are used to in UNIVERSITY THESES AND NEWSPAPERS, is going to give a more relaxing vibe, then you have NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
-
Sorry Ichirou, you are laying building blocks for these folks, no? What happens if they have to write something formal in english and they have no fucking clue what font to use?
-
I did your job for three fucking years and demi can fuck me up the ass if I ever used Comic Sans in a handout.
Comic Sans isn't informal, it's downright unprofessional. While you're at it, you might as well show up to work an hour late and three beers to the wind. I mean, that would make you more relaxed, right? Giving you a more informal rapport with your students, right?
Booze and Comic Sans--it's not my solution, it's history's solution!
-
Sorry Ichirou, you are laying building blocks for these folks, no? What happens if they have to write something formal in english and they have no fucking clue what font to use?
I...I LOL'd...seriously, how stupid do you think high school kids are? Don't judge them all by the standard set by Miles Trahan.
Patel, you're acting like a snord. A snobby nerd. That's what you are.
-
Whatever, drunky!
I have it on good authority that God doesn't let people who use Comic Sans into Heaven.
EDIT: TVC has a good point, really. By using Comic Sans in your handouts you are teaching these students that Comic Sans is an appropriate font to use when creating English documents. THE DISEASE IS INSIDE OF YOU.
I would love to continue to berate your nun-rapingly poor typographic sensibilities but it's 2 AM here.
-
I've been working here two years and I've never shown up late to work, much less drunk. If you're going to insult me with something, try to at least base it off of something factual so it'll hurt a little more.

I don't think they are stupid, but I believe they have little experience with english typography, and I bet I am right.
Using comic sans isn't even giving them a HINT at what fonts they should be using in reality. At least lead by example, and let them know one general use font that is cool to use (like garamond or verdana). Using comic sans, a font NEVER used in reality, isn't informing them at all when it comes to written english.
-
I'm pretty sure you're wrong on that account, TVC. I believe they learn about proper font use in typing/computer class....

-

Why not help or reinforce then? Seriously, dude, comic sans is a completely useless font. You say it is "informal," but does its perceived informality REALLY make that much of a difference? You could be sacrificing a bit of "informality" that doesn't even exist in order to help teach the students something somewhat important.
There are tons and tons of good general use fonts. I see no reason at all to use one that is completely and utterly useless.
-
That's not a particularly compelling argument.
-
maybe you could make all your handouts in the spider-man font
then your handouts would be kickin awesome, like your favorite movie of the year, spider-man 3
your handouts would also get extra cachet from association with the playstation 3
yes, the spider-man font is clearly what you should exclusively use from now on
-
That's not a particularly compelling argument.
Neither is the idea that comic sans is "informal" and makes people feel at ease. Forget the serif v. sans argument, you are teaching them with a completely irrelevant font. You could make the font you use relevant by altering one drop box, but you choose not to, for no apparent reason.
-
I'd probably use the Spidey 3 font for the subject lines of a few handouts, if I had access to it. It's too hard to read for me to make a whole handout using it, though.
P.S. BTW, Patel, take a cue from TVC 15. He is actually convincing me to switch to Times New Roman instead of acting like a complete dickhead like you.

Did you purposefully make that with COMIC SANS, demi? :lol
-
ah it burns!
-
lol @ achewood (the "Smile!" shirt kills me :lol)
lol @ Ichirou vs. Patel/TVC
Speaking of fonts, I guess "Silian Rail" has been identified as this (http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/garamond-classico/garamondclassico-sc/). I'm so going to use that for my business cards because I'm a total fucking nerd like that. Maybe have it printed on bone (http://wtf.myfonts.com/images/18/183557801a7825b693bc4997040d3403.22169.jpeg) card stock...
-
Did you purposefully make that with COMIC SANS, demi? :lol
I wanted to go with something more informal.
-
what the font :bow
awesome site
-
The funny thing is, as crazily overreacting as Patel is, I'm not even particularly attached to Comic Sans. Times New Roman reminds me of writing college papers and theses so I don't want to use that, and most serif fonts look way too serious and formal...I tried switching things around with some other fonts I have in my laptop but they weren't available in the school computers so I just used Comic Sans as a compromise.
Notice that Patel talked about creating a self-contained document format, but then refused to follow up and explain how to do that on MicroSoft Word....
-
i came back to evilbore just to state that everyone who likes - or worse, USES - comic sans supports terrorism and that i am now madly in love with patel for his crusade against comic sans. if there is ONE exception for censorship and capital punishment it should be applied to comic sans and the people who use it.
How sad. Your 667th post was wasted on this crap. Go back to sexxxing cloud. :P
Every time I'm tempted to switch to Times New Roman as TVC suggested, folks like you and Patel come around and convince me to keep using comic sans just to spite you elitist fuckers.

YOU STUPID distinguished black fellow, USE GARAMOND IF YOU CAN! i THINK IT IS STANDARD WITH XP AND VISTA! It's a good serif font that is not Times New Roman.

garamond is a fucking awesome font. it's a little less plain looking than times roman and has a warmer look to it, and it's still easy to read.
i like sans serif fonts, but the whole idea behind serif fonts is that the serifs or "feet" on the fonts make it easier to read lines of text especially in paragraphs or large chunks. the eye flows along the text much easier than with a sans serif font. the serifs act as guides, if you will. this is exactly why almost every book that is published is typeset in a serif font. it's simply easier to read.

i use times new roman font size 11 for papers, i think it's the most professional looking font that word has.

There are no paragraphs in large chunks of text in my handouts, though.
And you know what else makes large chunks of text easier to read? Capitalization. Just sayin'. ;)

It is the modern day typographical base block: serif on paper, sans serif on displays and signs.

ARGH I just got an e-mail from HR in Comic Sans, thus proving its provenance as the "clueless secretary font."
It says, "Thank You For All Of Your Hard Work!!"
I don't feel appreciated! I feel nauseous!

I love all of Maniacker's fonts, though most of them are fairly design-oriented and not suitable for documents (woah, what a crazy distinction!).
However their pixel fonts are like tiny little Jesii. I want to have sex with Hachipochi Eight (http://www2.wind.ne.jp/maniackers/Hachipochi.html). GOGO FIVE (http://www2.wind.ne.jp/maniackers/GOGOFIVE.html) is also UNF UNF UNF.

I'm sorry! Comic Sans is awesome! Leave me alone! I don't actually want you to die! Just to stop using Comic Sans! Jesus Christ, what's wrong with you!
I don't actually want you to die in a fire! "Die in a fire" is just Internet shorthand for asking someone to stop expressing their opinion!
You are welcome to keep breathing oxygen! There's enough for everyone!
Don't die! Choose life and live, Ichirou!

I'm contacting the Japanese government and warning them about the Japafags that teach their children English while using Comic Sans print outs.

okay, now are YOU being serious about contacting my service provider?
seriously, what the fuck?
just don't use Comic Sans, man. nobody likes it. that's all. I give you this advice to try to make your life better. your life that I want you to continue living.
:rofl :rofl :rofl
OWNED

Ichirou: What the hell?
I just want to know if you're being halfway serious or if you're just dicking around, because getting death threats is starting to get seriously creepy.
Me: (text missing, general gist) "death threats"? are you talking about the tombstone? how is that a death threat?
Ichirou: "DIE IN A FIRE"
"Stop breathing oxygen!"
etc., etc.
I dunno, apparently if you like Comic Sans you are too dense to distinguish Internet message board banter from actual death threats.
-
what the fuck is going on? ???
is it safe to tell you to die in a fire again? :(
-
Wow, Ichirou. Just. . .wow.
-
what the fuck? this is not funny!
Comic Sans is funny! this thread sucks now.
BAN ICHIROU
maybe without EB he'll have more time to find a good font for his handouts

I was just fucking with him, which he totally deserved. Synthesizer Patel has been acting like a fucking dick in this thread. From my first posts, you can tell I'm not at all familiar with typography other than the very basic stuff (Times New Roman for college papers, serifed texts for newspaper texts, etc.) and was honestly interested in finding out about alternative fonts, and Patel's (and TVC's) reaction was just to be hostile and insulting.

"I just want to know if you're being halfway serious or if you're just dicking around, because getting death threats is starting to get seriously creepy."
This doesn't sound like you were joking/fucking with him. If you were, why didn't you do it in public?

Because he wouldn't have taken it seriously if I'd posted it in public?

So you were being serious, then?

I wanted him to think I was being serious, yes.

if you want to fuck with me, do it in the thread to my face
taking it to PM and dropping your message board persona to put on your "serious face" makes you the dick
we've given you a lot of typography and font advice in this thread and you've refused it all on the grounds that you can't install fonts on your PC. boo fucking hoo. Windows 95 didn't invent the typeface, and I'm sorry your school sucks so much

Jesus fuck, that's hilarious. You're completely ridiculous.
-
kill him!
-
what the fuck? are you 17? how do you think this is funny?
I don't want you to die but I do want you to get the fuck off this board.
-

Jesus fuck, that's hilarious. You're completely ridiculous.
And you're a huge asshole. Your point?

I'm a huge asshole? I'm not the one that just implicitly tried to threaten someone over death threats. And funny, you seemed to like me before your stupid stunt here. I even tried to give you advice last night. I call ridiculous as I see it. I think you're generally a good poster, but this was like, really dumb.

I think it's funny because you were being a hostile dick. Maybe you should start treating people like human beings on message boards instead of going off on bizarre rants because someone is using a FONT you don't approve of.
I personally think the, like, really dumb thing is a couple of otherwise intelligent people going completely off the fucking rails because someone is using comic sans on some handouts.
-
yeah, I don't (or didn't) hate you, Ichirou. hate the sin, not the sinner, as they say. the more you insisted comic sans was a viable font, the more we turned up the heat.
but boy! I sure do hate you now! so way to go on turning a perceived slight into an actual grudge. and with TVC, too! you've done a stupendous job of taking a sarcastic typography thread and turning it into a real world example of your own stupidity. what the fuck. go away.
EDIT: Why should I treat someone who uses Comic Sans like a human being? Fuck that.
This is stupid. I'll be back in a week or when Ichirou is banned, whichever comes first.

This is madness.
