I didn't laugh until Century Gothic came on.

That was absolutely perfect.

Yep. I've never even heard of some of those fonts. I liked the wing dings too. cheesy

On a serious note, what the heck is the point of wing dings? Does anyone actually use it for anything?

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

My favorite (courier) was held hostage, the poor font. 

I have several font sets that represent Mil Std 2525 symbology (military units, etc.).  Makes wingdings look like a little pansy.
