What AFF font you like best? and What size?

I personally like TNR 18, since its a classic and i think its elegant, but my friend said its curly like fries and made her cringe and i realized that some font is not for everyone.....
so what font and font size you like best? or does it matter at all?

@emotionalcello I don't know why people make Calibri standard font (I use Ms. Word and I got tiny heart attack when I first saw TNR wasn't the standard body font anymore). Comic sans is only tolerable when it's used in comic, of course. I don't like both Calibri and Comic Sans because they look... uh, so ungraceful and not professional enough for me. TNR looks neat and at the same time, gracious.

@MissMinew lol i made it 18 at first :"D because if its 12 i cant read it and it looked like codes lolll, but the size is manageable on the reader's side right?

TNR size 14 or Helvetica Neue size 12. I can't deal when the size becomes too big, it makes me insane.

@Alex-su I know exactly what you mean lol. Though in my case, it would be highschool. Basically everytime I think about the Times font, at some point in my head, essay assignments pop into my head with the words of my teachers saying "Make sure to use size 12 font double space". To this day, I honestly still don't know what they meant when they said double space LOL. I just wrote the papers in hopes that I got it down correctly.

TNR is my standard font in all writing platforms, but in AFF, I usually use anything other than Arial or Calibri (oh God, I hate Calibri, and I am almost ready to flip every single time I see a document typed in Calibri). I use Avant Grande 14 for my author's note and TNR 14 for the story. Sometimes I put the title in the body, when that time comes, I use Palantino 16. Courier and other fonts are used for special styles, such as text messaging or mysterious recollection (lol). On other note: How is TNR curly like fries? It's the first time I heard such astounding perception.

I'm gonna be honest here, I've come to really dislike the regular, simple, Calibri/similar like standard font out of all of them (the one you mostly see for a lot of stories). I know that it is one that can be nice and simple, and easy on the eyes, but I've grown tired of it and find it boring. It makes me sigh inside whenever I see it. Other than that one, I guess I don't really mind or care much for others, and even still with this one, it doesn't really matter much, just my least liked.

In terms of the ones I like and don't mind using for my stories, and those are Georgia, Trebuchet MS, Cambria, Tahoma, Times New Roman (and the others that are basically like it), and Courier New. Then my two most favorite ones to use the most are Palatino and Garamond, which I tend to put on either 14 or 16 size for both.

For a long time I have thought about how awesome it would be if more, different fonts were introduced, cause I would love that. There are quite a lot of fonts that I use in my word documents when writing out my stories that obviously aren't on here, and I think it'd be cool to see them, and be able to actually use them instead of just having to switch to one of the only ones available once posting.
