Why is the default font of hipforums

there's no elevating shit with me

 

Okay, then, I'd have to say, sans serif's are better for that, less lube required.

 

at the right time of the month, no lube required

 

i havent changed anything but the default seems to be verdana. isnt it?

 

it is verdana.

souless sans serif that it is

 

oh, ok. thanks. i just thought that it would be weird it you were all reading this in a different font.

 

not at all, a Serif is a font with those little feet on certain letters. a sans serif, is a font without the feet.

helvetica is the most widely used sans serif in public view, it was developed in 1953, and has since spread to corporate logos, street signs, and newspapers world wide, for it's superb readability, and post modern aesthetic.

there are MANY serif fonts, and none that really stand out above the others in terms of widespread use, as serif fonts are more "homey" and people who use serif fonts exclusively tend to be less fascist about their typography.

 

good god you are but a lovable nerd

 

I thought is was comic.

 

I know. I figured it out.

Because we all default to the system that exists. We accept what we are given, that's why.

 

O rly.

 

my favorite fonts are verdana and garamond. preferably 12 pt, bold.

 

sans serif fascist.

 

fuck you and your little serifs, too.

 

Anything is better than this: Can you all hear and see me, hope so...

 

yuck.

 

i like comic sans. :cheers2:

 

Yeah, it's frickin' awful isn't it...

 

At size 5 and in blue?

 

at any size and in any color.
even in bold.
or in italics.
(i'm especially fond of italics.)
