Why? Fonts is the correct name! Check your settings in Word!


Verdana has always been my favourite.

Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

I like Tahoma too GC - and Verdana!


We are taught that Ariel and Comic Sans are the most comfortable fonts for people with reading difficulties to decipher.


I can't stand Times New Roman.

No, they are not fonts.  A font is the metal thing used by printers to create a particular script.  The specific lettering e.g Times New Roman etc are type faces.
