Comic Sans, all the way. It's a douchebag's preferred font.

The Courier one above belongs under serif category. Be precise. Typography is a shit fucking serious business.

Do you know what a the 'serif' refers to in the 'sans [without] serif' thing? Well, the 'serifs' are the little dangly bits. You see on the 'S' of the serif? How the extremities of the 'S' have a 2-4 pixel dangly bit? That's a serif.

Edit: I only point this out because there are lots of fonts that, technically, fall into the categories of 'serif' or 'sans serif' and it's a peculiarity of typography that these two variations on Helvetica* have come to assume a name that was originally merely a technical, descriptive detail of other fonts.

*I'm presuming it's Helvetica, I think all of the Arial/ unicode family are variations on Helvetia.

Does 'font type' not come under the area 'typography'?

I'm not really following what glice is trying to say, are you being weird now, or a cock?

Anyway, I'm thinking of actually designing a font as a part of my thesis (because typography is one of the few things that interests me, in life). But knowing my (lack of ) skilzz, and the fact that garamond was made 500 years ago, I'm probably going fail big time.

typography is so very nice but so very difficult to do REALLY well.

he prefers "prick".

for example, if you were to ask him "do you want a cock in yr ass, you twat?" he would reply "no, a prick, you cunt."

No he doesn't. considering his postings in the past, it's evident that he indeed is fond of cock. Preferably gothic sans-serif, sometimes bold cock.

Italicized cocks are nice because they totally hit the sides. Well, one side anyway.
