    I loved the default "Times New Roman" on Word, but now the default is Calibri or something :( .. have to change it each time I open the programme. Random but weird question though, what's your favourite font on it?

    Comic Sans ...all the way :D

    Comic Sans. It reflects my kooky character when I put up posters in the local Super Valu advertising my tarot card readings, homeopathic remedies and home-made dream catchers

    Calibri is my favourite but I think I voted for the wrong one.
    Times new roman looks a bit dated now imo.

    Ew...Times New Roman just reminds me of the web circa 1999.

    Calibri all the way. Or Tahoma.

    Calibri. It just looks smart. Anything in Comic Sans looks like it was written by a 'special' child.

    That was developed during World War II by top SS scientists to pass messages along to German spies behind enemy lines. The cypher was later cracked by the US military and consequently included with every copy of Microsoft Word as a sign of American superiority over the Nazi regime.

    I've seen wills drafted in Comic Sans.

    I believe the thinking behind it is that it might ease the loss to your family and make them forget about starting a bitter internecine war over your assets.

    Here's another thing that blew my mind when I discovered webdings http://www.snopes.com/rumors/wingdings.asp it's not true though... but that's what they want you to think............

    I stopped having favourite anything when I was about 11. As for the internet hate against comic sans? I don't get it? Is it somehow related to Hitler or Stalin? Has it been used to depict the internet warriors version of mohammed? Is it just a fashion thing: "all the other people on reddit/boards (or where ever) hate comic sans so I hate it too"?

    I think it's cos it just looks cheap and tacky, it's like the equivalent of handing an assignment in school written in red pen - you just didn't do it.

    I use a variety of typefaces but I don't use Word. My favourites are Apple Garamond BK / Apple Chancery / Micro$oft's MS Trebouchet (this is kind of a web favourite).

    Arial. There should only be one font and it should be arial. Size ten, single line spacing. Headings in bold. Absolutely no other options whatsoever. And the same for MS excel.

    Times New Roman
    Helvetica Neue LT Std 35 Thin.
