Can I scroll through fonts and see it change?

I guess I shouldn't admit that I use Comic quite a bit at work. They only
have a few fonts available and I find it easy to read.

Lucinda handwriting can be usefull.

If you know how to spell it. Take another careful look at your font list.

Well, I'm still fairly new, so have a few years left (LOL)

I keep forgetting about the spelling- I started calling it "lucinda" as
a joke because it seemed like that's what it should be. And it does really
only fit in certain places, if not overdone. Same with Comic Sans. I once
knew someone who had it set as default on her computer, so I tried it, and
changed it right back. Enough is enough. I like it used small, and
underlined. I haven't done too much yet to be using anything too much.

You notice as you make it larger it gets heavier? At a smaller size it's
got a more delicate look (which I like with underlining). Maybe this is more
true with html, which is what I started out doing (websites). After around
12 (size) it has a heavier, bold look.

If I want it delicate I make the graphic small, use it and then enlarge
it a bit.

I once made a website for someone, to put her journal/writings on, and
she loved comic sans, and wanted the whole thing done in it. So I tried to
keep it as light as possible.

I agree, on screen it's far nicer small than large. You don't notice the
difference so much in print, though.

I eschew single underlining - if I ever have to underline, it's done doubly.

A kindered spirit.....

I've made a small text box (graphic) and used small size font,(like 12)
then enlarged the whole (overall) picture if I want it bigger. This would be
in Paint Shop Pro, etc. to copy/paste or insert into something else.

I think some of these programs are like they say our brain is- we only
use 1/10th of it. If this is true, nobody would be able to comprehend what
100% is, so it would be impossible to figure.

My point, I think some of the programs, I only know around 10% of what's
possible when using them. I'm continually finding out something new and
amazed. Then, of course, new versions are always coming out.

I think you are right in a publication or logo, but I've mainly made
webpages. At times I've used Comic Sans MS with an underline (as a heading
on a page) and it looks good ( to me). I'm just now getting into more that's
meant to be printed. Though I've seen logos that seem to have one underline.

I will keep the 2 lines in mind from now on.

The idea is probably to do something a bit different, still keeping in
the basics (with logos, and headings, borders, etc)

Right now I don't have any real training or knowledge about
logo/headings, just what I've seen myself (others have made) and trying
things out- by instinct. I should probably find a tutorial of some kind.

One I've noitced and think is especially good (fitting) is H & R
Block. They have 3 green (for money?) blocks on it. A design, but tying in
with the name in a subtle way.
