Personally I agree with the Ban comic sans campaign.
Have any of you guys heard of it, or have an opinion?

I don't agree with the ban only on the grounds that it's just hideously stupid to petition a font. If you don't like the font, simply use something else. There's no need for people to get their panties in a bunch over it.

I never really focus on text that much. I personaly use it though becuase when typing a report, it takes a little more space than the other offered texts.

I don't really see how a type of text could get so many people against it. It's just text. It seems to me htat someone wanted to complain about something and picked that out of a hat.

Better idea - ban clipart and wordart. I get so pissed when I see it, and I always make my own or go without in powerpoints and stuff.

I feel its horrifically ugly. The only area it could possibly be appropriate is in a comic...

But I still feel that a better font could be in place as well.

Don't get me wrong.

Comic Sans MS is a ****ty font and no one should be using it on a professional level for any reason whatsoever. I just think that there's no reason to go up in arms over it.

Same with the use of default Windows cliparts. It's the end user's choice as to whether or not they'll use them.

yeah,
if you really hate seeing comic sans so much, why would you wear a shirt with comic sans on it?

not the point
My cousin received a federal note that had the font used in it; in fact, she's writing her pro-gradu about the visual eyerape of Comic Sans.
It's just that people who want to write a paper, regardless of its purpose, can too often think "Hmm, what would be a HIP and COOL font to use?" and upon skewing through the fonts, Comic Sans hits their eye.
It is a font that is not a good one.

I still dinno why Windows XP doesn't has Comic Sans as it's default system font.

I mean, at least over here, you can find that awful font in almost every document of those cheap companies/offices. If Microsoft sold modified XP versions that had Comic Sans as the default system font, it would sell much more than Vista itself! laugh3.gif

I have no issues with it. I even like how it looks. But I stopped using it in my comics because I was told it sucks.
