The font test...

<div class="IPBDescription">Do you like me?</div><span style='font-family:ocr a extended'>As some of you may have noticed, i'm using the 'ocr a extended' font lately. Its the same font pyrowolf used for his comics, and its futuristic and NS-suited.

However, i'm getting multiple bad comments on it. So, here is my question... Do you like my font? or do you totally dislike it? or do you not care?

Normally i dont care what other people think, and i just do what i want to (in real life too...) If i like it, i wear it.

However, you are the ones that should read my posts... so if this poll comes out badly i'll just stop this font-posting, post in normal font and go lick my wounds in a dark corner...

So, waddoyouthink?
<span style='color:black'>And if this turns out bad i will aim my bloody revenge on you guys and raise havoc in the forums.</span></span>

    I hardly see how it matters.  You're not speaking in anything like <span style='font-family:wingdings'>Wingdings</span>, and people can just remove the font if they find it hard to read or shockingly too unique for them to stomach.

    <span style='font-family:Lucida Console'>I always wanted to have some sort of normal font, but I thought it would be too much of a hassle to do it every single time. <!--emo&???--><img src="http://207.44.144.68/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo--></span>

    I just don't find the font as easy to read as the normal one, nothing personnal.  Changing font is like changing the text colour, size etc.  It should be kept for <i>emphasis</i> ratther than to make your posts look different from every one else.

    I don't much approve of That font...as it really doesn't tie in with normal posts of other fonts, and the fact that it is really..blocky and larger than most other fonts, naturally, thus makes the posts more annoying to read...but...Your font, your choice.

    On my screen (with settings which include ripping custom formatting out of web pages) your font is a tiny hard-to-read version of the normal font. This is why it's bad to deviate from standards.

    I see why it's so large now, I just removed the size code, and the font reverted back to forum natural... now, there's nothing explicitly forbidding you from using this font that is stated in our rules anywhere. However, my personal opinion is that this makes your text stand out above all other posts. For the same reason that color is now prohibited, I dissaprove. Your posts are no more important than anyone elses. That's just MHO though.

    I like it, it's easy to read and cool.

    It's not like talking like this:<span style='font-family:Lucida Handwriting'>It's not like talking like this.</span>

    Like what Taylor said.

    I've loved this font ever since it was so close to being what I can only describe as "the half-life font".

    However it only really starts to look cool in sixe 14 or 16 <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->

    It is a bit small, if it were a tad larger I would like it, maybe a font size or two? But I guess you cant.
    And remeber ppl who dont like this font dont have to read it.... I would keep it since YOU obviously like it....
