| So what font is this quiz in? |
 | MoreLikeFiction: | Feb 23rd, 2012 at 04:15 GMT | | 36 points |
| I'm surprised so few came up with Times New Roman. I think of that as the default. |
 | gwukelic: | Feb 23rd, 2012 at 04:21 GMT | | 6 points |
| Who got "Times New Roman", but not "Times"? |
 | 8isPerfect: | Feb 23rd, 2012 at 04:25 GMT | | 3 points |
| Damn. I was all ready to list all of the Death Note fonts, too. |

| How can you type Times New Roman without typing Times? |
 | Chromatos: | Feb 23rd, 2012 at 04:29 GMT | | 9 points |
| I think so few get Times New Roman, because like me they assumed when it accepted "Times", it would get both. |

| Would've been cool if the answers were all in their own fonts. |

| It really sucks when you're typing and you just expect it to be right. Oh well, time to promote Papyrus, Monotype Corsiva and Blue Highway |

| So what are your guys favorite fonts? I am partial to Univers and Neutra among others. Sabon is pretty good for a serif font. |

| Anything typed in Comic Sans cannot be taken seriously. Fact. |

| Notice comic sans is not on Mac list but on PC... |

| I'm stunned that twice as many people guessed Arial as Helvetica! |

| I thought it was 'Ludica' all this time. I was shocked when that got me nothing. |

| I threw up a little as I typed in Comic Sans... |

| didn't get 84% arial but a couple of fonts that were guessed right by 2+%.. oh well. btw how is helvetica so relatively unknown? |

| When I studied at university in Canada, I had a great roommate who had a still in a shed out back. He would make all sorts of homemade liquor. I joined him one day and watched him make a batch. I then noticed the distilling guide he downloaded off the Internet was written completely in Comic Sans. I never had another drop of that stuff ever again. |

| The answers were altered, I take it? Arial has been guessed 18% more than Arial. |

| You've got "typrewriter" instead of "typewriter". |

| I tried calibri since it is the default Outlook font since 2007. |
 | WyattsTorch: | Feb 23rd, 2012 at 11:31 GMT | | 9 points |
| The main problem is spelling all of these correctly... By the way, could you please add MS Sans Serif as an alternate? That's how both of my computers list it. |
 | Sopz: | Feb 23rd, 2012 at 11:58 GMT | | 8 points |
| yeah i thought calibri |

| I typed time new roman by accident, then corrected it - so I missed times... what a fail |

| @jonesjeffum: Personally I like Tempus Sans ITC and Forte the best. |
 | Juvo415: | Feb 23rd, 2012 at 13:13 GMT | | 7 points |
| So 15 / 27 computers in 10,000 *don't* have Arial installed on them?! I find that hard to believe, seeing as it's been basically pre-installed since 1992. |

| Here's the problem. Typing Franklin Gothic is good enough to give you credit for Franklin Gothic Medium. Typing Courier is good enough to give you credit for Courier New. So, when you type Lucida and get nothing, you assume there are no other Lucida fonts in the list and move on. |

| Every time you type something supposedly serious in Comic Sans, Bill Gates kills a kitten. |

| Surprised that Times New Roman isn't #1. |

| Franklin Gothic is an extremely underrated font. My newspaper uses it for headlines. |

| Some strange answers here. Not exactly the first fonts that spring to mind, and I haven't even heard of half of them (that is without cheating and looking at which fonts are installed on my own computer). |

COMIC SAAAAAAAAAAAAANS!!
Before you vote me down because someone already said it, I know. I'm just playing the Comic Sans game.
