Got a letter from my surgery yesterday and they've arranged an appointment with me for a diabetic review with the diabetic nurse there.

The letter is written in Comic Sans. Why?!

Comic Saaaaaaaaaans! *falls to knees*

Verdana for me, always looks classy

I've had Comic Sans from the dentist, but not the doctor - yet.

It's actually a great idea to distract font geeks - if you receive bad news from a doctors surgery in Comic Sans you'll be too full of apoplexy for a while to properly absorb what is wrong with you and you'll come to the realisation of the trouble more gradually as you cool down. It's not a tactic that will work for most of the population but it's nice to see them considering the end percentiles too.

Century Gothic, Verdana, Calibri (and of course I repeat any of the Helvetica family) are all quite nice fonts actually

Papyrus in Avatar made me cringe!

I'm quite keen on Trebuchet MS.

If I'm on a PC, Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma would be my choices.

Comic Sans & Times New Roman make me cry & lose a few brain cells trying harder to read them.

If I'm on the mac however Helvetica>*

Someone recently added a user guide for what we do at work in to SVN and when I opened it I was met with Times New Roman! Thankfully I managed to make a change to the lot & commit it before anyone else was met with the same sight!
