What font are you using here that isn't Comic Sans or Tim Sale? And where can I find Tim Sale?
Tim Sale is a font from Comicraft, who are currently doing a special offer on Tim Sale: Upper and Lower Case (they're separate fonts, because Upper uses both character sets to provide variant character shapes), plus Tim Sale Brush (aka 'The Titles Font for Heroes') for a bargain $49 (~£30) -- the second of Emperor's two links takes you to that offer (also, here).
The font I've used to label the font samples is Bank Gothic, which will probably be familiar if you've ever watched '24' ...

Correction. The offer above is only for a physical CD with the fonts on.
If you scroll to the bottom of this page, then you can get the same deal for $0.95 more, although the international version (which you'll need if you want little things like a pound sign) is a less tempting $99.
I've posted this before, but I don't care about repeating myself if it helps to stop the Comic Sans epidemic. http://bancomicsans.com/home.html According to Microsoft: it's "the groovy script font". It's "FUN."
Recently picked up The Marvel Visionaries: Spiderman by John Romita (from the bargain shelf in Travelling Man - just six squid)
It's got some of those amazing early spidey stories, but I wonder if poor sales can be attributed to this HORRIBLE typeface that is used throughout the book? It's ugly, barely legible and offends my eye!
Or is it a work of genius and I'm just a out-dated philistine? Give me THIS anytime!:

Oh I dunno - I as always a fan of the Ringpin of Crime. Urmm.. hold on. That sounds nasty, like if you broke your ass and they had to pin it back together.
if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
I'll just throw this out there as an aid to other amateurs looking for a relatively quick and cheap way of getting their own style of lettering as a usable font. The kerning is a bit off here and there - but I managed to make what I think is a passable hand-lettered style font. http://www.yourfonts.com/ It's really simple - download the template - fill it in - upload it - test it and then pay the $9.95 via paypal to download your font. The font is a truetype .ttf file useable on both mac and pc.
Anyone use this, which seems to do the same thing but for free?
