Which Font?

..i've been meaning to do a thread like this for a while...and i just had a 'happy font' moment, so was inspired...

Which font do you use as the 'primary' font on your puter?

meaning...the font used on your icons and such...the one you see the most of as you're computing...

I used to have funky fonts for each little thing, but i ended up going back to the same old default one just cause i could actually read them better.

Default. I used to use a custom font but people complained when it also got used by my email client.

I only worry about pretty fonts in documents... otherwise I go for the default. I spend most of the time at a console anyway so no choice really...

On the windows comp, default. On linux, same. Although, when I write papers, whichever makes the line look the biggest, that's the one it is.

Presently, whatever's default on winXP, whatever's default for KDE (redhat), and Espi on all my running Macs (7.1 & 7.6).

The Windows load on this machine was supposed to be a 'temporary' setup...but I've had it running almost a year now. maybe I should change it.

I only use Lucida Console for terminal sessions (where I spend most of my time)

So I could have gone with like 4 of the choices here...

Just the regular fonts on the system, but I have the Elephant (bolded) font on my Object Dock - I only have OD and Rainlendar on the desktop, all other icons are hidden. I find Elephant big, bold and clean.

in XP Pro -

right-click the desktop, click the 'Apperance' tab .. there, click the Advanced' button, then in th 'Item' dropdown, go thru the items and change the ones with a 'Font' setting.



--------

I'm glad this thread has been revived, it's still a worthy topic imo, and i'm still using my CorporateS

---------

@ Loup - hmm ... i've never thought of a Serif font as 'clean' ...

Why so much Tahoma?

I can't see much difference between that and Arial, which is the default I believe.

Mr Mephisto
The differences are subtle, but from what I understand, Tahoma was desgined for screen use from the start, so I find it a little easier to read quickly.
