    For most of my postings, I'll just use this default font at 10 points in standard black, but my favorite for writing something special is the Times New Roman font at 14 points in brown.

    I write with a pen or pencil and have not found the font switch yet

    I use Calibri in MS Word.

    Here I don't really pat attention to font, although I do change the size every once in a while.

    I don't change the color often here, either. Doesn't that get expensive?

    only if you print what you've "written"

    congratulations, you got there before I did.
    I actually prefer my font in fountain pen cursive but will use Scribble in BIC as my default.

    When I was building websites, I'd decide on a font. Otherwise, I just use whatever the default is.

    For my emails and junk, I like Verdana.

    It looks like this. :D

    This is Verdana, in the default size and shading.
    Here it is a little dressed up.

    I don't care for colored fonts.

    There is no favorite font for me it just has to be readable. I do like to use colored fonts and different sizes depending on the purpose of what I am writing. Otherwise I just use the default.

    When we had a couple of people who used a larger font because they said they had some eye issues, I understood it albeit we had one member who I know is legally blind but he still used the default font.
    When there are birthdays or some special event I also understand the need to use larger and colored fonts but to express one’s ire over a statement through the use of larger fonts and bright colors is to me, a show and tell episode of how little a person is able to use the English language.

    I use the default because I feel as though I write well enough to convey my feelings without yelling or having to place some sort of color to it. If for some reason I have doubts as to whether I might be misunderstood I will inevitably turn towards the tried and true use of an emoji.
