agreed. my first web sites were done in comic sans, but then i realized how shitty does it look and switched to Verdana or Arial.

But you do not mention the content of your site, and the issue appropriateness of type to content. Unless, of course, one is merely on a mindless rampage.

The anti-comic sans site prominently displays an objectionable case: a bubble gum wrapper. OK, fine, it is a mindless rampage.

there are plenty of handwriting or irregular fonts (i'm afraid they are not that widespread though) if something irregular is needed, but Comic looks really idiotic :)

But that is an absolute judgment, and the issue is... oh, what's the point. :)

Meanwhile, comp.lang.lisp strikes again, finding nothing to talk about in re a burgeoning Lisp success story / possible math education solution than choice of font.

I love you idiots -- and a good idiotic thread -- but I have some code to write. :)

Meanhile, can someone explain how this looks so awful:

While this looks so good?

They look the same when the corresponding JPGs are viewed in a reader.
