Font Dork

[hellziggy]

I had forgotten how funny I was until boliviafang put my comment that she had written down in her journal.
If you are not a Font Dork it will probably not only not be funny, but also not make sense.

from boliviafang's journal:

So the only quote I actually wrote down from that evening is such an industry-specific one (which, admittedly, is part of its humor) that it will only be funny to about three people I know, only two of whom are on LJ:

"Papyrus is freakin' everywhere. It's like the new Comic Sans."

Trust me, that's hilarious.

It is both funny and sadly, sadly true. My mom has taken to it.

Yay! A quoted quote! .. a quote quote... a quoted quotable quote ... hmm

*dizzy*

..ARGH! Now the word "quote" doesn't even look right!

*has to go lie down*

OMG, I just griped at my 18 year old brother-in-law for using Papyrus the other day. I called him trite and generic and he immediately changed it! (after I told him what trite meant LOL)

Damn those fickle FontGeeks!

I shall never forsake my beloved Comic Sans!

I recently added Papyrus to my own journal page, AND it has been a favorite font of mine for years.

Er...I have not noticed it everywhere, though. O.o Mayhaps I am looking at the wrong everywheres?

I'm much more familiar with calligraphic and historical fonts. I'm a little behind the times with printed ones.

I got the joke, but probably only because I've taken Typography like, three times now. And I admit, my first webpage was done in Comic Sans. (*shame*)

I'd just like to state for the record that I made boliviafang (or was it you?) repeat it three times before I gave up and admitted I hadn't a clue what you were talking about.
