Ketchup is having a huge problem finding a decent font for using in AIM. He is looking for something with "Ye Olde English" look and feel to it, but all the ones he's tried just won't work.

Can anyone make a list of the fonts that are default (seeing how he has a huge list of fonts and doesn't know which ones are standard besides TNR and Arial) for AIM?

Verdana > Times New Roman.

For Web Pages, at least.

That's what I'm using now, but find it fairly (read: very) boring and common.

Please can someone actually help? Or would it be a better idea to post something similar in Off Topic?

Well shit, there isn't a whole lot to choose from, now then is there? I think the word default might just be another way of saying 'bland, boring, pointless shit.'

I'm looking for what I have a choice from. I'm fairly sure it isn't much, but I'll check what I can use.

I like Tahoma and Comic Sans, personally.

Use Purple colored font, and green background. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

My point is that I have a few fonts on my computer similar to that, but the other person doesn't see them properly. I'm looking for one that is reciever friendly.

I'm currently using Tahoma; but still looking.

Personally, I like Chiller. It's more old-timey than old-timey itself!

Comic Sans is pretty cool.

I looked for a while for a good font as well and settled on that one.

Wait. Nevermind. Use "wingdings" or one of those crazy ones. This is FKL, so. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif
