Need a Little Bit of Help With Choosing a Font
Social forum
Posted on Aug. 25, 2014, 6:51 a.m. by Femme_Fatale
I'm unsure if this is best in the social forum, I know my "One of us ... one of us ..." was moved to the social forum from the T/O forum, so I presume T/O site discussion that doesn't pertain to bugs, improvements or function questions should go here.
Basically, I'm having a bit of trouble choosing a font, and the appropriate font size for said font. I'm looking for something elegant in my fonts, and have restricted myself to choosing fonts that were pre-installed with Windows 7/Microsoft Office 2007, so that others can actually see them. If you can't see them, it could be because you don't have Microsoft Office 2007 and/or are using Linux or Ubuntu, or are on a Mac or using a phone.
Here is how to judge:
- Elegance
- Legibility
- Size
The fonts are listed as the first post below, as a forum post is within the frame of reference of what I'll be looking for.
If you want to see a current font in a different size, ask and I'll post away.

I'm a fan of serifs and I like people who keep their names the same size as the surrounding text. So my favorite of them was French Script MT font 15 px.

I have to say I liked the Edwardian Script and Vivaldi fonts the best, size aside. When you think about size, anywhere from 20-25 is fine.

I actually think I found it now. My previous font was Edwardian Script ITC, but it is hard to see at smaller fonts, so I had to keep it between 20-25, but that causes disruption. I'm liking Vivaldi (actually a really old font I once used) because it is clearly legible even at the smallest font size.
