The Best Source for Free Comic Book Fonts
Filed under Fonts
After fielding at last count 6 email inquiries on what font I used in the previous post — all coming in within an hour of the post going live, and this new-ish site barely has any traffic — this post should make it easier for me to reply to any future questions.
But first, you may be wondering, why bother, what with the Comic Sans MS font being free on pretty much every computer known to man. Comic Sans? Ugh. I’m not and have never been particularly fond of Comic Sans, and I’m being very polite. I also know that I’m not doing a Lindbergh on this flight. As far as I’m concerned, if you want anyone to take your designs seriously, stay away from the damn thing.

How to Use Any Font With WordPress
Filed under Blogs, Fonts, Web Design, WordPress
With its seemingly endless supply of design themes (free and paid), WordPress is a DIY small online publisher’s dream. But unless you know how to muck around with CSS style sheets, you’re stuck with the theme designer’s font choices. And, even if you are able to change font specs, you’re practically limited to the most universally common fonts — after all, even if you specify it in the style sheet, if the end user doesn’t have the font installed, he just won’t see it (he’ll still see the content, but not in the font you spec’d). Bummer.
Now wouldn’t it be neat if there were an easy way around that technical limitation, letting you specify whatever TrueType or OpenType font you want for just about every text design element of your WordPress blog (except body copy)?
