    Grrr, i hate that font with a passion!!

    Especially when it's used out of context, for example in a 'Please be Quiet' sign in a library, used in conjunction with Microsoft Word 97's 'Word Art'.

    Even worse when it's used as a 'cute font' in a child's poem posted on the wall in some Little Chef.

    Brrrr, it makes my skin crawl!

    You need to take a chill pill mate!! There are much bigger issues to get worked up about...

    G
    One day some company will do what they say they will do and charge a fair charge.:T

    Not doing the opposite of that which they promise and charge you a fortune for the privileged. :(

    Or maybe not:mad:

    I do't like it either, but it is one of the few fonts that has an "a" rather than an "a". This makes it easier for children.

    Haha it's an ironic rant about a font to be taken lightly :)

    It's become an on-going joke at work - I took a weeks holiday and when I came back my entire PC had been changed to Comic Sans. Windows, my email signature - everything.

    They even downloaded a plugin (Firefox or Chrome, can't remember) which changed every website to comic sans.

    Swines!

    EVERYONE LOVES COMIC SANS

    Lets rejoice that Microsoft Gave Us This glorious font, or we'd probably all be using Arial.
