    Bill Bruford’s book from a few years ago was titled “When in Doubt, Roll!” You comment reminded me of that.

    For the love of anything you may hold sacred, just don’t use Chicago.

    Can we start a movement to ban Arial?

    In addition to Chicago and Arial (eyesores both, yeah), I nominate Comic Sans for the banned list. The top of the list, in fact.

    Yeah, that’s the “casual” font that’s way, way, WAY overplayed courtesy of MS’s reach. I’m right there with you!
