(29,414 posts)11. Centaur!
Okay, I do like it, and even use it often, however, I have never liked the way Centaur does the numeral one. It's too close to a lowercase ell.
Bookman Oldstyle is a very nice font, and will be my choice whenever I get back into writing my book. I find it superior in legibility and just general nice overall look than the idiotic (and seemingly unchangeable) MS default, Times New Roman

The uproar about Comic Sans is ridiculous. Is there no place for a lighthearted font?
