Over a year ago (July 2005), I wrote an article on why you shouldn't use Papyrus. To this day, it is the one article on this entire blog that gets the most reading. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing in and of itself, but I do get a kick out of it. I also wrote what I (in my head) considered a kind of follow up to that earlier this year on The Top 5 Worst Fonts. My point is that it's interesting to see how much attention crappy fonts get. So I decided to do some searching and find more articles on fonts that should really be dragged out back and shot. A fair warning: Comic Sans is really on top of everyone's sh** list.
