@Vincent It looks nice in the examples in that link. But I seem to remember getting a "comic sans" feeling seeing it. Overly used, I mean. Was it perhaps available digitally already in the 90s?
I don't remember the name, which is strange because I spent so much time playing with the few fonts we had back then.
@Vincent I remember everybody used the all-caps "Balloon" for everything school related. Often in 18-24 pt. I could sense that it was wrong and stayed with the safer 12 pt. Times New Roman.
Trying to find this font is dredging up all kinds of things I had forgotten. Such as where we used to get clip art from, and that before you could "google" a font and download it, fonts came in collections that you actually had to pay for. Ugh!!
also on that note, my boss found an ancient letter press that he bought to put in our lobby as a decoration piece, and in the drawer was a whole box of about 6pt movable type. sooo tiny!
@Alith7 But back in the 90s I was just a kid playing around with my computer and to me fonts seemed to come from floppies and CDs with the word "fOnTs" written with a marker. (I'm not endorsing piracy - it was just a very different time)
@joojaa There is a difference between wishing for a change in copyright laws and endorsing piracy
@joojaa If we for example end up in a situation where a) There is no flow TV and it's not possible to buy movies, only subscribe or rent online. b) The online providers have a monopoly and choose to censor/remove a range of titles because of politics/profit. Then piracy could end up being the only way of getting access to some titles and they could perhaps morally be regarded as "abandonware" since nobody would be making any profit from them anyway.
