    My Ipod renders Comic Sans as Arial...
  • Central AvenueCentral Avenue
    ...Arial? That's a little better, I guess.

    My phone renders it as Droid Sans, but that's presumably because the only fonts included with Android are Droid Sans, Droid Serif, and Droid Sans Mono.

    I removed Comic Sans from my computer ages ago. All I see from those typings is Times New Roman.

    All I see is Times New Roman on my phone as well (and on that comic sans site a cursive font, although I'm not sure if that's intended or not...)

    I don't understand why people care so much about fonts. Like...get passionate enough about them to loose their temper over it.

    I haven't installed Comic Sans on this Linux box yet so all the Comic Sans shows up as...I think it's Bitstream Vera Sans.

    EDIT: Correction, DejaVu Sans, which is Bitstream Vera with more Unicode support.

    I don't mind Comic Sans in and of itself. I mean, it's a little ugly, and it doesn't really look like handwriting, but in the context it was designed for--i.e., displayed on a computer screen at small sizes--it doesn't look all that bad.

    The part that is annoying is that people use it inappropriate contexts. It's clearly intended to invoke a sense of "silliness" or "whimsy"--or at the very least, informality--but people use it for things that are meant to be taken seriously. "EFFECTIVE 9/5/11 WE NO LONGER ACCEPT PERSONAL CHECKS", "THIS DOOR TO REMAIN UNLOCKED DURING BUSINESS HOURS", etc.

    Thankfully that kind of misuse seems to be much less common than it once was.
