in your (font) face

I’m thinking about changing my preferred font.  I use Comic Sans but I keep reading things where people diss Comic Sans.  What’s wrong with Comic Sans?  I like Comic Sans.  It’s clean and neat (something that I’m not, well, I’m clean just not neat), easy to read and just appeals to me.

Andale Mono is nice but the font sizes are sort of in-between.  At 12 points it’s a little small and at 14, a little too big plus it is really spread out.

Ariel Rounded MT Bold is a bit heavy and crowded.

Baskerville Old Face is OK, maybe a little pinched.

I’ve also used Bernhard Modern Roman.  I like it a lot too but it just seems a bit fussy for everyday communication, plus it takes up a lot more room.

Book Antiqua is nice.  I like it OK except this is a little small and the next size is a little big.

I like Bradley Hand and I use it on my website for titles, but not really suited to common communication.  

Chalkboard appeals to my informal nature but it's very similar to Comic Sans.

Footlight MT Light is not too bad.

Geneva is too common. 

I really don’t like Helvetica...too boxy and crowded.

I like Herculanum, but once again, not really suited to every day communication.

I like Lucida Handwriting too but it seems more suited to formal invitations.

How about Monaco?  I don’t know.  Something a little stiff about it.

Papyrus is attractive.  Good for titles.  Maybe I’ll switch to it on my website.

Skia is nice.  A little 'fine'.  Maybe I’ll use this one for awhile.

What about Tecton?  A little bold but it also has size issues.  And spacing issues.

I don’t know.  Maybe I’ll just stick with Comic Sans.  I wear socks with my sandals too so I’m used to ridicule.
