Font for Story :)

DiamondPuppy0809 · May 2009

Okay, here's what I mean... I am a font freak. When I'm typing/reading, it has to be in a good, clean, but cool font otherwise I put down the book and curse at it. xD I am not a fan of 'Century Gothic' nor 'Bookman Style'. 'Times New Roman' annoys me. 'Garamond' is okay, I'm just not a huge fan. My favorite so far has been 'Palatino Linotype' I think it's called. (Sorry if I got any of the font names wrong). I'm writing a story on my Microsoft Office Word, and I can't find a good font. I've looked through all the ones that were in my computer and even downloaded new ones... but none work. None are what I'm looking for at all. xD I know that sounds weird, but I have a font obsession and I need just the right one. Anyone have any suggestions? (P.S. The main thing I look at in a font is the questions marks. Why? I do not know. If they're too plain or weird, the font is totally scratched off my list. *edit* Please only suggest SERIF fonts.

) Suggest away -- PLEASE! xP Suggestions: 1. Arial 2. Tahoma/Verdana 3. Calibri 4. Paramount *My favorite so far. It's what I'm using currently.

5. Eras Demi ITC *Pretty, but where to download?! xD -Ludie/Regretted Roses the font weirdo. </ul>

For some reason, I only use Arial in Bold. (: Maybe you'd like that? It's plain, but crisp and elegant. =D I sound like such a noob. xD

I like Verdana, which I'm pretty sure this same font is right now. Err.. maybe it will remind you too much of VP. :P Or use Tahoma. Those are my two favorite plain-jane fonts.

I do like those three suggestions, but they seem to bore me easily >.< xD I'm a noob, too, Brittsy. It's all good. xD

Eras Demi ITC ? or possibly Calibri? =D

saved09 · May 2009

Well, I have about a billion fonts, but i really like the Twilight Font and the Be safe font (Edward's Handwriting). I can read them easily, and they look nice

I don't have Eras Demi ITC and can't seem to find it to download... it -looks- nice though. Calibri is awesome except for the ?'s. xD I am so picky about those ?'s.

The Twilight font in the book or the front cover font? I have both, and I do like Paramount (that is the font for Twilight, right?). It has a nice ? mark and the words are very slender and flow nicely. I can't use handwriting because it's for an actual novel, and needs an easy-to-read-pretty-simple font.

But thanks for the suggestions.

*pulls up word* I use... *coughs* Calibri xD I have mine set to a certain "style" as word likes to call it xD it sets the header up and everything, and that's the font it chooses to use =P Im too lazy to fiddle around with fonts, lmao. Usually my mind is off in my story and I dont pay attention to what my word document looks like xD

xD I wish I could be that careless of what form of font I'm writing in. Honestly, I should be like that. But I've always been a picky person--and it's hard for me to write if it's not in a good font. ;P

Lol. I honestly never even noticed what my font looked like until I read this xD When I write, I totally dont notice the screen, I think about what Im writing xD I type so fast and throw my ideas out, I guess it never really caught my attention what the document looked like :P If anything, a 'pretty' font would distract me I think. I think my ideas should be more interesting than what my font looks like xD Maybe you could try Baskerville? I used to like that one a lot. Or Arial Narrow

DiamondPuppy0809 · May 2009

Baskerville is the font I was precisely looking for; I just couldn't remember the name of the book I'd seen it in! Thanks for much, Pickel!

I also have a font called poor richard that i like. <img src="http://i461.photobucket.com/albums/qq339/mwsr2010/poorrichard.jpg"; alt="http://i461.photobucket.com/albums/qq339/mwsr2010/poorrichard.jpg"; class="bb-image" /> i think it looks decent and is easy to read

Thanks, but I've found one I like a lot. Baskerville is the one I've been trying to hunt down for a while now xD I've tried Poor Richard before.. it doesn't have the right novel-look for a reality fiction book, though.

lol xD Glad I could help. I have the urge to change my font now

Howdy, Stranger!
