By the way, since we're on the subject of fonts:
If you are one of those people who send workplace emails in Comic Sans, you will be eliminated when I take over the world. If you are one of those people who use comic sans for communication in other less formal channels you will be sent to a re-education camp when I take over the world. If you are one of those people who will respond to this post saying some version of "ah, but I like comic sans" then I won't wait until I take over the world. |

MOMA had a display about the 50th anniversary of Helvetica last year.
Douglas Hofstadter has written quite a bit about fonts and typeface. His slant is towards how it relates to machine intelligence and if it's theoretically possible to create determinate models to distinguish between letters programatically, but he also just generally likes the topic of fonts. The book Metamagical Themas: Questing For The Essence Of Mind And Pattern is a collection of columns he wrote, so you can skip to just the ones about type if you don't want to wade through all his other stuff (though everything else is fascinating as well, even if he is a little too obsessed with Rubiks).

And I'm with Kevy and the backgrounds too. Especially when they are black with white text and hit reply and can't read a thing because I don't have mine set to use white text too.

Not only do I like Comic Sans (though I hardly use it any more), I also like the new Animal Planet Logo.

I like Palatino Linotype.
But I can't explain why, I just do.  |

Ah, I had to go to Word to see what Comic Sans and Papyrus looked like.
I agree. Bleh! |

And what's with this "Verdana" font. Horrible... People who use it are really lame...
What? Oh. Love Verdana!
