DSTS Episode 12: Fonts

Today I will be talking about fonts, what kind of fonts are good, which fonts are bad, and just talking about fonts.
Please let the video buffer for about a minute before watching because it is quite a large video (635 MB h.264) so yeah. Yes it almost took 2 hours to upload, eek...
Oh yes and please support Microsoft Works by giving Microsoft huge bags of super medicinal marijuana!
That might help.

it was ok... i would have liked it if you went into more detail about choosing a font for a purpose.

my favorite general purpose font is DejaVu especially in condensed form. I like Lucida Grande also but I dont have a Mac.

Yes I like both DejaVu and Lucida Grande, I do touch a little bit about choosing a font for a purpose but I was planing to do another video on that, also probably an unboxing of FontFolio Edu Essentials.

Hurray for Myriad Pro!

can acess it,

it is the first sans serif font, have some respect. Also, you expect Windows to handle more than 100 fonts, somethi g it is not designed to do, the proper thig to do is to install it in Adobe's Common File directory where the Creative Suite can acess I

A few things bothered me about this video, First off, you call Times new roman "Eww" while it does not fit into modern Graphic Art, it has a purpose, it is an easy to read serif font, designed to be used on paper because of it's legibility. Second, you don't seem to understand why the Myriad Pro font pack costs that much money. That is the only way you can legally use it and Monetize with it. Adobe wants their cut. Thirdly, how DARE you insult Helvetica,

You have everything from adobe thanks to good luck defending yourself in court and fighting off a inevitable prison sentence due to your clear admition to pirating several thousand dollars worth of their products... Why can't you just, you know save up the money like the rest of us?
