Worst monospace bitmap font to have ever existed. Could you really code with that eyesore in front of you all day?

Some REAL fonts:

Who the fuck brought coding up?

>>8716317
I like it since the font itself just holds a nostalgic value to me. Nothing more than that.

Helvetica make me sick.
Yes the actual typeface. Humanist typefaces are better. Fuck off.

Use Univers.

>>8716321
What else would you use a bitmap monospace font for, nerd? Browsing 4chan in lynx so you look el33t?
Go suck on an AIDS-infected niggercock.

>>8716357

>Browsing 4chan in lynx so you look el33t?

What the fuck is lynx

get the fuck out of /jp/ with your aspie technology

>>8716353
What, talking in the Newgrounds IRC channels using mIRC on Windows on your mom's computer with an AOL connection because you were born in 1990 and you're a stupid faggot who can't figure out something as simple as IRC?
Go back to complaining that people use smilies on the Internet, you autistic dweeb. Though I doubt you even know what "the Internet" is. You probably think it's the Web, or even just Facebook and 4chan. But whatever, as long as you can tweet at your friends over AJAX that makes it all worthwhile, right?

>Not taking it easy
>Being an angry autistic about fonts

I don't like that font either but chill out man

>>8716375
You just made my day. Thanks Anon-kun.

>>8716387
Who the fuck do you think you're quoting? Because it's certainly not anyone. Maybe you think 4chan created this style of quoting? Well it didn't, they come from newsgroups and email where they're used as block quotes. You should look those up. ">hurr durr implying not xyz" is not a block quote. Of course being in your late teens or early twenties, you probably think it's "counter-culture" and "non-conformist" to against sensible standards everyone else has adhered to for decades, and that you're entitled to do so because you think you matter in some capacity. Newsflash: you don't.
Go fuck a rake.

Oh god it's too funny

>implying you aren't autistic
>implying you aren't mad
>implying you aren't 48 on a board that consists of touhou and dolls
>implying This isn't making you madder

why is impact so attention getting?

Chicago

>>8716430
Because it's ubiquitous in image macros.
What's weird is that for such a distinctive font, it does not get annoying like other fonts do.

>>8716438
Oh wow, they actually still have that?
Thank you #based Apple.

>>8716443
naw, i had to google it and install

The only time when I care about font is coding (in Notepad++), so fixed-width ones: Consolas@9-12 pts and SimSun@13+ (1920x1200)

>>8716450
You twat.

Welp, back to hating Apple forever.

Consolas.

>>8716510
Hmm? No. Got this from their website. There are so many other cute fonts http://s2g.jp/font/index.htm

Okay I normally hate "novelty" fonts, but I'll admit these are pretty damn cute.

The ZX-Spectrum font

I like Droid Sans Mono or whatever alright.

I think Arial is better than Helvetica.

Verdana, Georgia

Wingdings becus it's random just lyke me xDDD


waffles xDDDDD

>>8718192
You fucking faggot. For one thing there isn't really anything Arial can claim for itself (besides a few different glyphs)--it's pretty much a badly made carbon-copy of Helvetica.

>>8716307
came here to post this

>>8721650
Haha, I knew I'd catch one, though this took a bit longer than expected.

I'm surprised no one gave OP hell for using font instead of typeface, though! Get your shit together, /jp/.

>>8718240
>>>/v/
Please.

What about Japanese fonts ?

Comic Sans

Any other answer is dildos.

>>8721686
PGothic is all you need.
Or one of the Mona*s.

Font =/= Typeface

Learn the difference, it may save your life!

>>8725765
We know the difference you nerd. We're just not autismal enough to care.

>>8725768

>autismal

Once again with that word.

Some of us are in the typography business, and really wish the masses could get the difference into their heads, y'know?

>>8725785
You shut your fucking mouth. I have created eight widely-used ‘typefaces’ and I have a 3-digit user ID on Typophile. I call them fonts and I will continue to call them fonts. It's 2012—we're making vectors in FontForge, not casting 8-point bold oblique Times with an iron forge.
Go bitch at people who don't know what a ‘point’ or an ‘em’ is. That actually matters and people still get it wrong. Stop whining about perfectly valid semantic change.

>>8725799
>>8725799

Ah, but without contempt for the common man, what have we left?

And don't knock the old ways. There is an increasing demand for handmade aesthetics as many tire of the impersonal feel of clean, sterile vectors.

>>8725897
Vectors are the future, nerd.

Though I do like bitmap fonts because care and thought has been put into every pixel.
Just finished reading something similar about icons, actually:
http://www.pushing-pixels.org/2011/11/04/about-those-vector-icons.html

Back on topic, Futura is the best font.

>>8725785
What the fuck is Shyriff
A shy sheriff?

hgp mincho b because it was in my japanese animes

I don't know about my favorite font, but I think that Meiryo UI looks quite nice on websites.

Georgia is my favorite. It's slightly old-fashioned, but classy at the same time.

>>8717233
I don't use burichan though.

Terminus everywhere.

Computer Modern

>>8726041
I know right. Calibri is the best font.

Serif: Garamond
Sans-serif: Calibri

I'm quite fond of Lucida Typewriter, it's a nice monospaced font.

Tahoma gets my dick hard.

>>8726163
RIP Knuth ;_;

Orange LET.

mmmm pixel fonts

courier new
arial
times new roman

Ubuntu font family

Arial because its sans serif and near the top of the list in drop down menus.

Courier New or some sans serif in deep blue
