The worst font ever

[createdcreature]

I think it is Alien Encounters (http://content.altfonts.com/img/A/L/Alien-EncountersA.png).

[Ranko Kohime]

Hardly the worst font ever. Legibility goes a long way towards a font's worthiness, and that is a very legible font.

[Random_Dude]

Not the worst I have seen, but definitely not the prettiest.

[Alwimo]

That would be fine in its natural habitat, a short title on a poster.

My least favourite ones are the ones that try to look like handwriting. Mistral, perhaps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistral_%28typeface%29

[OldBoy44]

I like it! :)

I'm with you, Robert, one of the worst fonts I've seen. Made my eyes hurt.

Has to be Comic Sans of course. But for "mainstream" fonts, I'm really not a fan of Times (my default serif font is Palatino).

What is so wrong with comic sans? Its the only font that carries hate like Linux users carry for Microsoft or Apple.

Not cool, and offensive

For some reason, everything typed with Comic Sans seems goofy. I hate that font.

It's just a movie with the subtitles changed.
I don't see why would it be offensive. Unless you love Hitler or Comic Sans.

Cheers :cool:

Maybe, but your comment totally made me go watch it.

Back on topic, Arial I think is the best font. Easy to read, fast to use and print, and is versatile.

My reason is that it's overused everywhere despite it looking very tacky and unprofessional.

ComicSans the Ugly.
Ubuntu the Beauty.

The only font related bookmark I have in my inventory: http://bancomicsans.com/

I don't hate it due to my aversion towards MS either... I just hate the font, it's ugly. I like Ariel, Tahoma, and Helvetica... I'm not a font snob as much as I am an OS snob.

It does resemble the IBM font.

I don't like these:

I hate all serif fonts, including times new roman, with a passion. But we'll never be able to ban that, so... oh well.

[Neoxhadowespio]

The font "Penguin Attack" hurts my eyes. But only when it is very small.

[Phrea]

Really?

I found Mistral to be a great font for signing Non-Discolsure Agreements.:lolflag:

[forrestcupp]

Is there anything worse than Wingdings?


I think it is Alien Encounters (http://content.altfonts.com/img/A/L/Alien-EncountersA.png).

If you'll notice, in the bottom row of letters, the fourth white line down is gray. If you take the gray value of each letter's line and pair it with that letter's ascii value, it's a code. ;)

I swear I've seen that font in one of my games before... Garry's Mod was it?

Comic Sans is fine in its place.

Unfortunately, too many people fail to realise that its place is on kindergarten walls, not supposedly professional environments.

[CraigPaleo]

Comic Sans' place is in comic books. :p

Are you serious?

Then you probably don't want to know that his car was stolen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8dl4faCpJE&feature=related), he was banned from X-Box Live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfkDxF2kn1I&feature=related), he thought Farmville was real (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La_o1ud5ZTQ&feature=related), he got banned from Facebook (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UEimEizyIw&feature=related), he believed in Santa Claus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdIhNQKgMdg&feature=related), he got a girl pregnant (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mqpjjz7K_s&feature=related), he hates the Twilight movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvyCQ7y9nW8&feature=related), he was a big fan of Michael Jackson (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu3Q6S-ed_g&feature=related), he doesn't like his mother (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7Gjo1u0Sgg&feature=related), he got rejected by Megan Fox (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCSw_FKg6D4&feature=related), and his daughter had what's euphemistically called "loose morals."

But, like you, he really has no sense of humor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqqxRPZdfvs&feature=related).
