Me too. I also love curlz, but it �s not compatible with all pcs, unfortunately. And kids - I love that one, too... |

I like escolar 1, it is the type letter that kids use and they can read their exercises |

I like Comic Sans for elementary and Arial for advanced. I also like Bradley Hand if I want to write, say, a postcard and Curlz and Jokerman for the "Good Luck" part at the end of tests.

For online publications you should use sans serif fonts like "Comic Sans," for printed materials we should use serif fonts like "Times New Roman." Working according to this principle makes dealing with written content easier for the human eye.

Sorry, Blunder, but where does it say that you should use serif for printed materials? Some text books use serif and some use sans serif and I personally find that sans serif textbooks are better for my younger students. Textbooks like FCE Gold (for adults, mainly) combine these typefaces without any problems. Has there been some sort of research that I �ve missed? Please enlighten. |

I agree with Regina, but I like to use Arial and Century Ghotic. Sometimes I use Comic Sans but it takes too much space in my opinion. I know that the most readable is Times New Roman but I don �t like that font. In sites where you can publish your work to sell they always ask us to use Times New Roman.
Have a nice Sunday!
