[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 9467202, member: 85555"] And this is the only thing I think should matter about fonts. I think Whizbang's point was more about the snobbery and posturing you see online around them. But I have dyslexia and a font that is hard to read is definitely going to trip me up. I still think though most of the time, the issue is things like kerning, line spacing, margins, font size, etc (though I have run into plenty of fonts I wouldn't want to have to read a whole book of). Another thing is I think the legibility issue is around fonts that are rarely discussed in the conversations. These are really more about how hip a person's taste are and I think showing off our hipness around font choices is a bit mean spirited to people who simply don't know much about fonts (fonts are a pretty dull topic to most people I think). People make fun of courier but it is still standard for a lot of industries for documents that aren't being printed for the public. I find it quite legible. For example I am pretty sure movie scripts are still written in courier. [/QUOTE]
