<p>Does anybody else think so? It looks extremely similar to TNR but subtly more elegant. My only complaint is that the italics are harder to read, but it still looks so much better. It probably won't make TNR into the next Comic Sans, but still. I do all my essays in Garamond now. =)</p>

<p>NOO!!! Garamond’s thin a’s and e’s make it look like the type of font they should only use for Nathaniel Hawthorne novels. TNR’s hot sister is Bell MT, a font on Microsoft Works.</p>

<p>Some other fonts > Garamound > Times New Roman > Comic Sans</p>

<p>I use Bodoni MT, though it looks weird on systems after XP.</p>

4

<p>I prefer Calibri over everything else…</p>

5

<p>I like Georgia. Other than that is had to be Ariel.</p>

6

<p>I don’t really like Times New Roman and Arial… I do prefer Garamond though
My favorite is Book Antiqua in 10.5 font… I set it as my automatic font :D</p>

<p>I think I’ve changed my favorite fonts/font sizes every year… last year it was Arial Unicode MS in 10 point font, paragraph spaced as “exactly.”</p>

7

<p>Papyrus~!` Papyrus!~</p>

<p>Please don’t shoot me.</p>

<p>I used to use Georgia constantly and wanted to throw up at the sight of TNR, but now I’m wavering… and have been using TNR. Eep! And, no, Times New Roman’s sexy sister is Times New Romance. Look it up.</p>

10

<p>Look what has happened to us :D</p>

<p>I like Tahoma, Book Antiqua, or Century Gothic</p>

11

<p>I use Georgia on almost everything I write. It looks a lot better than TNR.</p>

12

<p>

That’s really good; I never bothered to see what Book Antiqua looked like at a smaller font.

lame.</p>

13

<p>My fave is Vrinda. It’s not on every computer. Outside of that, I download fonts. Hammer keys is really cool. </p>

<p>I hate Courier new. It’s so ugly.</p>

14

<p>I used Georgia or Veranda on everything I write unless I’m forced to use some other font.</p>

15

<p>Calibri in 11 point, single or 1.15 spaced, is growing on me. At first I really hated it, but it’s growing on me. I’m learning to love sans-serif fonts. Also, please watch this. Ridiculously hilarious if you are in the font-know.</p>

<p>^LOL that was hilarious.</p>

<p>Personally I really adore the 11-pt Calibri atm.</p>

<p>Prior to having Microsoft Word 2007 I was obsessed with Garamond though. It’s a slightly more petite and elegant version of TNR. It’s quite lovely.</p>

<p>And then I liked Papyrus back in 7th grade, before I realized how amateur it looked, and promptly switched over to Jokerman.</p>

<p>Garamond is beautiful.</p>

<p>Back in middle school, I used to download a lot of fonts. My favorite downloaded one was Akbar, the font used on The Simpsons.</p>

<p>I do like this Vista font that has the name “Fred” in it… can’t remember what exactly it’s called though.</p>

<p>Obvs, I don’t use these for formal papers.</p>

19

<p>Unfortunately my English teacher is very strict with his formatting rules. He makes us use Times New Roman size 12 for all of our papers. I like Verdana and Tahoma though.</p>

<p>I think Bell MT is sexier than Garamond (personally).</p>
