Author Topic: New Forum font? Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX. (North of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-31-2005 09:13 AM                     Maybe it is just me but the font seems to have changed today (10-31-05) in the forums, titles and such.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Worthing Master Film Handler Posts: 384 From: Hereford, UK Registered: Apr 2001 posted 10-31-2005 09:16 AM                     It needed something new  |  IP: Logged Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 10-31-2005 10:25 AM                     sorry double posted.

I find it just slightly more eye-friendly the way it is now, but it's fine either way.  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 10-31-2005 12:24 PM                        It looks to me like a Verdana-Arial switch. I've also noticed that it reverts to the old style after a quote, in a single post. quote: Paul Konen the font seems to have changed (Edit) Oh, well, never mind. It appears that was fixed.  |  IP: Logged Ron Yost Master Film Handler Posts: 344 From: Paso Robles, CA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 10-31-2005 02:29 PM                     All-caps and a barely readable serif font .. ugg. I hope it's just a Halloween prank done by some envious Canadian programmer person? Please go back to Arial .. or whatever it was before. Much grass. Ron Yost  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

I'm nearly positive we've got Hallowe'en up here. There's got to be a reason why I've been throwing xenon lamps off the roof at little punks for years.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 10-31-2005 03:10 PM                        What the ....are you talking about. It looks like it has always looked. See " Look here" and "Here" and by all means "HERE" see it's all the same. Except for "same".  |  IP: Logged Joshua Lott Expert Film Handler Posts: 246 From: Fairbanks, AK, USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 10-31-2005 03:21 PM                        Hey Bobby... What font is used for the Looney Toons?  |  IP: Logged Jon Miller Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 973 From: San Diego, CA, USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 10-31-2005 06:51 PM                     Oh, fun...Bobby Henderson's favorite overused typeface, Trajan. My Mac is having a fit trying to render the pages properly. Bring back Verdana!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-31-2005 07:11 PM                        Trajan and Arial kick ass. I really don't understand why there would need to be any other fonts other than those two. If you need a different typeface, it is always wise to stretch and distort Trajan or Arial to achieve the highly professional results you wish for and then collect the huge check from your immensely impressed client.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

I was wrong about Halloween. Hope you lobbed a few over the beam! The font choice still sucks, tho. Ron Yost.  |  IP: Logged
