Now, there's an issue I've never given ten seconds' thought to. What is the problem with "comic sans?"
Seriously!?
I would go into a rant here, but for sake of brevity, lets call upon the well-crafted prose of that site:
"The design of the typeface is, in itself, its voice. Often this voice speaks louder than the text itself.
Thus when designing a "Do Not Enter" sign, the use of a heavy-stroked, attention-commanding font such as Impact or Arial Black is appropriate. Typesetting such a message in Comic Sans would be ludicrous.
Though this is sort of misuse is frequent, it is unjustified. Clearly, Comic Sans as a voice conveys silliness, childish naivete, irreverence, and is far too casual for such a purpose.
It is analogous to showing up for a black tie event in a clown costume."

I agree. That font bugs me.
I also don't like serifed fonts. Am I the only one who thinks that looks bad?
