RE: Killing comic sans

[Steven Jong <stevefjong -at- comcast -dot- net>]

I saw a technical tutorial once that was set in Comic Sans. I think the writer thought the font was friendly and informal, but to me the font choice completely undermined the credibility of the document.

A 2007 post by Stuart Brown on his blog Modern Life discussed the Vista "C" fonts (Cambria, Calibri, Candara. Constantia, Corbel, and Consolas). I am taken by Consolas, which is a fixed-width font designed to replace Courier New--and about time, I say. It gets my vote.
