I think, after much consideration, I would have to say the
my favourite font is The_Tuss.ttf

there already is such a thread!

Trebuchet MS seems to be favorite font on american sites,
even though it is not a system one.

i like trebuchet, too. a bit. don't know what font is my
favorite. among recently liked is Windsor, but then i saw it
on some bad ad.

serif : probably Garamond
sans serif : Futura
decorative : ...too many to pick just one. some of my
favourites include Suburban, Magda,
GeäbOil, Minimum, Gararond,
Quantange and many fonts from Emigre.

By the way, can anyone point me to beautiful and free fonts?
And by that I mean quality, designer acclaimed fonts, not
"1001 MEGA FONTS PACK".

Trebuchet is indeed lovely. However, my favourite is Myriad
Pro. That is incredibly sexy.

courier is the best. courier is monospaced, so all the
letters take up the same area, which is great for
programming and is nice anyway. typewritery.

from wikipedia:
Kettler was once quoted about how the name was chosen. The
font was nearly released with the name "Messenger." After
giving it some thought, Kettler said, "A letter can be just
an ordinary messenger, or it can be the courier, which
radiates dignity, prestige, and stability."

so there

i don't really have a favorite font, but i fucking hate
Papyrus. It's been totally overused by naturopaths, organic
restaurants, yoga classes and goths.

OK : don't you think it's a bit stupid that "ban comic sans"
is written in Comic Sans?

Exaph : Akzidenz Grotesk is also an excellent sans serif
font.
