My name is Bi4Be, and I am a Fontaholic.

Bi4Be · 08-01-1999, 12:18 AM

My liaison with fonts began 6 months ago, it... was a brief fling that was soon forgotten for many months, until now.

There I saw it, an image with a delectable little strawberry swirling around and around with a brief description: Fontalicious

To tell you the truth, I saw no 'alicious'. I just saw the word 'font' so I clicked... five times. Then it started. I downloaded one, then another, then another, until I had 3 dozen... and that is the last thing I can remember. My mind goes blank, until the time I was awaked by Fredrico San Papa Dela Pumpkin Espresso somewhere in Peru.

And that is why I have come here today, to share with you Fontalicious.

I have so many fonts on this computer that it takes over three minutes for my favorite graphics program to initiailize...

ohhh PULLEEESSSE don't get me started again!

My sponsor told me that the worst thing I could do for myself is hang out with my old friends in a font shop... It's the fastest way to loose my *90 days clean* pin!

LOL - all this time I've been using only what Windoze provided me

I guess I'm easy to please when it comes to fonts - Arial, Comic Sans MS, and Verdana are all I use (and of course Courier)...

But there were a couple at the above link that I had to download...

*LOL* I was turned on to the wonders of Fonts by Dani(elle), my partner in crime...

At one point, I actually had more fonts than she did...

I had 643 installed fonts before Win98 said no more, and the graphics programs revolted and refused to load them or show some of them.

I am weaning myself, I am down to about 150 or so now... but I liked some that I saw at the sites listed above. Maybe I will go back and just take another look around...

Over 1100 at last count... Pentium 166 takes a few minutes to process them all, but my nice Celeron is much faster.
