FontGeek is a special kind of Geek

• him: ugh
• me: ?
• him: opened my resume in word 2003.. looks like ASS!!! compared to 07.. not just the layout, also i guess because of the font
• him: so i have to use an ugly font :( i hate that ppl insist on getting this in word!.. i want to throw up
• me: zomg try helvetica or something u will recover
• me: geek
• ...
• time passes
• ...
• him: i think tahoma is my only feasible option
• him: because there is no helvetica.. no idea what you're talking about
• me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica
• me: "Monotype's Arial, designed in 1982, while different from Helvetica in some few details, has identical character widths, and is indistinguishable by most non-specialists"
• him: i think on the web helvetica refers to a "family" of fonts
• me: ummmm
• me: sans-serif refers to a family of fonts
• me: but yes, if helvetica is not available, arial is used
• me: there is a family like that, but i believe that mac has a default font specifically called helvetica
• him: family ... grouping... a list of fonts that get replaced by others if available.. we agree :)
• me: but helvetica doesn't define a family, it is a first choice specific font, replaced with other options when not available
• me: sans serif is a family of similar styled fonts, all being equal
• him: ok i agree
• me: ok
• him: you are right
• me: so tahoma?
