STOP AVATAR

Papyrus looked fine in Avatar, I think it's just that I associate Papyrus with half-assed labels for New Age goods for some reason. Bad association.

I like Bleeding Cowboys. And my favorite display font from Picnik is Sabonete, which I think makes me obnoxious.

For some reason I can't seem to get custom fonts to work in Vista. It's been seriously bothering me.

I just walked down a street that had no fewer than five shops with Papyrus on their fronts in a two block stretch. It made me think of this thread.

Man there's a big street here in Savannah with a bunch of shops that use Papyrus or Chiller. It's pretty bad.

Really? Huh, I've had no problems with that. Have you moved the files into the fonts folder in the control panel?

You know, one moviegoer did use exactly this method of protest. 'Way back when Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan was first released, one fan was so upset by the advance news of Spock's death that she went to see the movie three times -- and every single time, at the moment when Spock gets up to leave the bridge, she walked out of the theater. Exactly who is being penalized here?

Huh. I'd kind of like to know what the logic behind this is.

Presumably the other moviegoers were supposed to recognise that she was leaving in protest at the upcoming death scene, and not, say, going to the loo just in time to miss the best bit.

I've decided I'm going to create my own blog where I will protest every time a 19 year old overweight girl with black hair and a witty sense of humor is not represented in every film. I was very inspired by your post.

Thanks! I'd forgotten where the last font wank had occurred. I wanted to post this.
