Simple: what is, or what are your favourite font(s)?

[size=-2]If you pick a font that isn't in the standard (windows) package, please take the liberty of supplying a link to it or uploading it, thanks![/size]

I'd have to say Trebuchet MS, especially in italics.

My second choice would be "Third Party Hyper" out of Acid Fonts.com

I also love "Planet Kosmos" from the same site.

For normal text, Lucida Grande.

For styled text, Marker Felt.

(And obviously I have no clue if those are available in the "standard Windoze package". :p)

I was thinking of you when I wrote that. So I edited it to Windows/Macintosh, then I remembered how much Macintosh sucks and I edited it back. :)
 
Gee, thanks. :p
 
Actually, that's very true... :p In OS X, when there's a kernal panic, everything dims out, and a pretty overlay comes up with a big power button on it, and says in 4 different languages to hold down the power button to restart. See, Apple can even make the machine crash beautifully!
 
Shannon you might want to fix up that link.
 
Is that font any different to "BitDust_Two", Shannon?

Well i'd think so, but just to make sure, y'know. :D
 
**sigh** http://www.04.jp.org/ has the font i have been looking for, for maybe over a year (?), yeah i think so. He is not releasing it to the public though :( If anyone can find a font similar to this one, can u please tell me!? i beg of you :( :( :(

Yes. It's not as square as Bit Dust Two.
 
Terminal 136.8% of the way

Thats one nice Katakana bitmap font!

I don't think you will ever find a link because it was never released, I don't think a beta was ever releaded either.

What link?

All I see is a red X.

Comic Sans, because I don't care what the net says.
 
Lubalin Graph, Futura for the Stanley Kubrick connection, obviously Helvetica, Univers and I do have a soft spot for Baskerville. DIN is probably my absolute favourite right now, though.

The first (and only) time I used Avant Garde in a project, I suddenly realised it's absolutely everywhere... I regretted it but after spending £300 in getting posters printed I didn't much feel like changing it.
 
Gill Sans and LG1050.
