	i don't understand, why does everyone hate comic sans?

	I wish you had picked some more common or at least distinctive fonts -- for instance, I don't have Herculanum on my computer, and I have Word on my PC at home and my Mac at work. Some love for Century/Century Gothic or any of the Lucidas would be nice. Also, while it's nice to see the fonts in a size accessible to people whose eyes may not be as good as mine, I know that some fonts appear smaller than others, so showing the fonts in the same point size might be helpful as well.

	ugh I missed symbol because I typed symbols so fast that it didn't recognize symbol. Also I'm a complete geek when it comes to fonts and I have to say I've never heard of Tekton in my life.

	My favorite is Palatino Linotype. Which happens not to be on here!

	random much?

	You included Helvetica. You're all right in my book.

	I like the typewriter-like fonts such as the top left one.

	Yea and what about a dingbat font such as Zapf Dingbats?

	HollywoodLeo:	Aug 10th, 2009 at 06:26 GMT	-2 points
	I think you should have to guess in order. As is it may as well just be a "list random common fonts" quiz.

	Forgot Verdana's name and typed Verona all time. On the contrary I entered Tahoma a great deal. And yes...I use Times New Roman

	For those who, like me, hate Comic Sans....Some years ago the Education Authorites here in England insisted that Comic Sans was the 'preferred' font. Supposedly, it was easier for children to learn to read, and easiest for dyslexics. THis has now been overturned (proved totally wrong!). I am dyslexic, and I am also in Education...part of my job involves giving lectures to teachers on dyslexia - and trying to persuade them to ditch the Comic Sans!

	I'm with HollywoodLeo, it's pretty pointless when you can just guess popular fonts randomly without looking at the images and still get 80% or so.

	IHateRegistering: Arial is almost exactly identical to Helvetica give or take a few nearly indiscernible flourishes, except Helvetica was created 25 years earlier. Plus, you don't see American Airlines, American Apparel, Target, Crate and Barrel and the New York Subway System all using Arial. Respect the history.

	One of the Lucidas should totally be on here! I always imagined it was named after a posh old english lady, especially with the handwriting one :) Also, Earwig Factory is the most amazing font ever, definitely what I'd go with when writing ransom notes. Gets the right effect without any cutting out of letters from newspapers :D

	how sad is it that i actullay got excited when i knew some of theses,yea and wheres the wingdings?

	kyle:	Aug 10th, 2009 at 10:45 GMT	-4 points
	isn't Tahoma exactly the same as Verdana? Book Antiqua is obviously the best font. Comic Sans is the worst font invented, if you're over the age of 8.

	I have an idea but I'm kinda afraid to say. Because I might be flamed for this, but I'll give a go anyways. Another one of this test, with Asian fonts. See if we can tell MingLiu from SimSun, BatangChe from GungshuhChe, MS Gothic from MS Mincho etc.

	No more font quiz. 1 is plenty.

	trobins1:	Aug 10th, 2009 at 11:29 GMT	0 points
	This should be called Typeface Quiz - not Font. You're upsetting typographers. Also - where is Futura?

	Yurian:	Aug 10th, 2009 at 11:47 GMT	-1 points
	Times New Roman and Arial are my favorite! But I only got those and Stencil.

	rockgolf:	Aug 10th, 2009 at 11:48 GMT	14 points
	Sorry, this quiz is just not my type. (Gawd, even for me this is a bad pun.)

	nayt88:	Aug 10th, 2009 at 13:22 GMT	-1 points
	No Caslon, Bodoni or Gill Sans? Those are some of the best fonts ever. Papyrus and Herculanum should be scrubbed from humanity
