Font does matter!

A great follow-up to the recent typeface/dating discussions is the Font Fetish site. Probably not safe for work (at the very least, turn your volume down).
PS According to the font foreplay game, I’m a “courier clown.” No wonder I can’t get a date!

I am a ‘Wizard of Wingdings.’ But that doesn’t explain why I can’t get a date. I mean all women want to date a wizard, right?
Scott, you answered your own question. You say in the previous post that you won’t budge from your plain text rule. So how are women supposed to know that underneath the courier lies a wizard of wingdings?
they say i am a “sans man” but i can’t do without my serifs!!!
I have my plain text rule out of consideration for the lovely ladies who may be reading my missives. I use HTML, and make my emails all pretty, but what about the woman using Kermit to read her email? All she will get is a bunch of HTML code, and that isn’t cool.
Hmmm…hadn’t thought about people receiving a bunch of HTML tags in the mail. Definitely a turn off. Scott is truly a geek (what the hell is Kermit?). Next he’ll be writing in to say that the Good Grief! banner doesn’t show up in Mozilla!
I’ll concede this point to Scott. Safety first–save your best fonts for that special someone. Plain text until trust is established.
The Good Grief! banner doesn’t show up in Mozilla Firefox. It makes me sad
And Kermit is a terminal emulator that I used in college to check my email that was on a Unix email server.
Just so you know, the header doesn’t show up in Safari either.
Ohhhhhhh. I am a font called “Ouch”. I don’t think this is a good thing.
