Discuss possibly the sexiest font to ever grace you eyes, boyah
Why is boyah riding around in the fucking toyota corrolla of fonts when this beauty is right in front of you saying "It's ok, you can use me however you like"
Easy fella, I know Helvetica is a gorgeous broad, but you have to dance lightly with this tigress, always make the first move, but don't come on too strong. That's how you woo the queen font.
Fuck you times new romanyou filthy whore.
also helvetica is the Cadillac of fonts, to finish my earlier metaphor.
Helvetica is for hipsters.
I don't see what makes it special befuddlement
i don't have helvetica on my computer lol

use the smokes2 theme, it already is.
also new themes for boyah SMF 2.0 will have some nice font variants, a helvetica-based, and serif-based at least.
also dig it, I'm about to blow your mind, die alte von der neuen:

I don't have Helvetica installed either. Doesn't seem to be included with Ubuntu, XP, Windows 7, MS Office 2003/2007, LibreOffice, GIMP, or anything else I have that supplies fonts.

Nor do I, but I don't really understand fonts in general.
In interfaces and whatnot, I think I mostly use Liberation Sans/Mono lately.
i'm a p. big fan of futura 5thgrade;

because microsoft invented Verdana so they didn't have to license helvetica from linotype. this is why you have only useless fonts.

Is this like one of those magic eye pictures? Because I can't do those either
I see nothing gonk;
For some time I was enamored with the usage and idea of Modern No. 20. The dream-esque flow and bold face made it a favorite when I was high. That is when I am most sensical and perceptive. I find the right text possesses a charm and a spell that bewitches my little fancy all the way to its innermost fiber.
Helvetica is alright, nothing special. The type face used in the restored version of Naked Lunch is orgasmic. The one used for Schocken's Kafka collection is esoteric. Both are not listed.
Nevertheless, I do like that second one by Snorkel and I shall now dabble in the Smokes2 theme. That lazy technocrat better have added some new banners.
Edited to add: I have been using the Smokes2 theme already. Fuck.

Speaking of which, while Doodthing itself serves as a nice logo, it would be nice for Boyah to have an official logotype once and for all.
you know for banners and stuff :3

the css is probably font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; , so you default to whatever your browser's preference is.

I'm a fan of Neutraface, but I don't think I would enjoy it if everything were in it, lol.

uh sure but it's a Datafont TrueType file (some fuckery included with OS X) so I don't know if it will work with Windows.
Also I threw in H&FJ's Didot and Hoefler Text (worth like $500 apiece lol), have fun ;)

All of this reads like something out of Flaubert. Only a little poorer and not as rich. Aesthetics is a funny and severe thing.
