Thanks Aramel, I'm overwhelmed!! But see, I'm the kind of person who gets overwhelmed and paralysed by the choice of fonts given only on Words standard fonts! :P
I think I'm gonna be newbie-ish forever!

How do you guys ever decide?

Jey and Jefferson are both good. Cezanne (love :D), King and Queen Font, Mutlu Ornamental, Monkia Italic, and Fely. (Monika and Fely are slightly less scripty.)

Thanks for joining, everyone!

I haven't posted here in a while! *is bad founder* So, I've recently discovered the ridiculously simple but oh-so-usable font Century Gothic. I think it comes with all computers, but I found it only about a week ago. I have a strange addiction to really simple fonts. :-P

......I adore Learning Curve Dashed and green pillow. Trashco looks wicked, but I don't know if I'd ever use it. That's my problem. I go and find some awesome fonts, but I can't ever find a graphic to use them in! There should be a support group for that or something. "ATFBCUT" (addicted to fonts but can't use them) :lol:

Ha, I've got a few fonts that I've used once. :lol: I feel so bad about it, but they're not very usable. xD



I'm an IFD. Impulsive Font Downloader. :P

I have some fonts, such as Vanilla Whale (a Western block sort of font), Scriptina (which used to be my favorite, and now I don't like), and Long Time Ago that just sit there. I have tons more, but there are probably too many to name. :-P I should go through and delete some of them.

I am, too! I see something, I like it, I download it...and never use it. Good thing you don't have to pay for most fonts. :lol:

Silver, I love Century Gothic as well. Plain fonts can work on almost anything. My favorite plain font is Helvetica. (In case anyone's interested.) :D

Lothy :: Pea weenie?!?! :roll: That's hilarious! I'm SO downloading that one, even if I can't use it. :P It would be so funny to tell someone that your computer has pea weenie... lol

Silver :: *sits back in therapy chair* Do tell me your innermost secrets. Then we can move on to inkblots. :teehee:

Shadow :: - le gasp - I too am an IFD... "ooh that one looks pretty" *click!* Yeah, I love almost every font I see... except for Dingbats... those things are utterly useless.

Actually, a few kinds of dingbats can be good. They substitute as brushes for butterflies, pirate skulls, plants, etc.

(Love your banner, by the way.)

Well, I don't use them much, so I guess they just seem pointless to me, unless you know how to make them work on graphics. I did download one called <b>Rock Star</b> from Dafont, and I really like it because it has all sorts of little figures playing guitar, stars, music, etc.. that one will probably get a lot of use. :P

And thank you! It's a rather old banner, but I didn't feel like making a new version, so I just used it. Plus Mrs. Peacock is just too hilarious to ignore, and I felt as though she deserved a spot in my sig. :teehee:

Hahah, I wish I was an IFD. Instead, I'm an EPTFWBUATUTMS. (Extremely Paranoid That Fonts Will Be Useless And Take Up Too Much Space.)

Pronounced Ep-t'fwabwa-tutmis, if anyone would care too know.

That's six syllables. O.o

Anyways, Sidewalk and Trashco are looking very attractive to me right now. But agh, I never know how to make grungy fonts work...

<center>*drumroll*

I am pleased to announce the first ever Font of the Month -

[font=violation]violation[/font]

Thank you to all who voted! SilverRose and I will set up a contest thread that centers around the font and post the link here for you all to join. :) And we will be deciding on two new fonts for February!

Oh too bad, we lost! (Ambulance Shotgun supporters, that is!)
I'd have loved to see people use our font! :P
