Niner_777 Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 There are so many fonts out on today's text and photo programs, and I never have the time to look through them. So, when I'm going through the fonts, trying to pick a good one, it can get rather overwhelming. Can anyone relate? Please post some of your favorite fonts. If you can, post what they look like too.
The Sith'ari Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 Any font that looks clear and simple, Times new roman, helvetica, arial...all is fine to me. Lately I like using the font that Apple uses, so crisp and simple. What I really don't like is those "artistic" fonts sometimes I can't even figure out the characters.
stoffe Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 ProFont is looking pretty nice for scripting and programming needs. A shame it only looks good in 9pt size, which results in rather tiny text if you have a large monitor. For more blocky "headline" type text I think Lucida Sans looks decent. It's a standard Windows font though and nothing fancy. For longer running texts I tend to prefer Palatino Linotype, also a standard Windows font.
RedHawke Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 Why Aurabesh of course! Although when writing in word or what have you I like Arial myself. Though for like titles and headers I like to use Viner Hand ITC.
Lynk Former Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 Kubra_medium As for generic fonts, Arial and Verdana both rock.
RC-1162 Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 Those are some cool fonts, InyriForge. where did you get the Knights Templar one? can you direct me to it? my favs are Viner Hand ITC and the CloneWars font, the one in my sig.
EnderWiggin Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 @Inyri, yeah, Shadow of Xizor is a cool font, as well as RH's Aurabesh and some of the others posted. One of my favorites that has no Star Wars or even video game reference whatsoever (I know, what am I thinking?) is Aarvark Cafe... Can anyone guess where it's from? A cookie to the winner! _EW_
Niner_777 Posted July 17, 2006 Author Posted July 17, 2006 my favs are Viner Hand ITC and the CloneWars font, the one in my sig. Where did you get the CloneWars font? And EW, I've no idea where it's from. Another cookie lost. ;_;
Inyri Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 where did you get the Knights Templar one? can you direct me to it?I honestly can not remember, though judging by my font-finding habits (read: laziness) I would guess it was either dafont.com or some other large, well-known, easily googleable free fonts site.
RC-1162 Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 yeah, it was dafont, i ran a search there and got it. @ Niner: the best place to get new fonts is here run a search for "Star Wars" and you'll get a whole load of cool fonts

Niner_777 Posted July 18, 2006 Author Posted July 18, 2006 I like the font used in this sig: It's called Antigony? Something like that. I'll have to look into it. Btw, this sig is too big to be used on these forums.
