      Could be worse - could be WingDings?

                Brilliant. Comic Sans should only be allowed for invitation card to the children's birthday parties. In few occasions I could give some advice to friends running a business, and for sure they had some parts of website/documents which would use Comic Sans as a Font. That is so not business-friendly...

                    Any font that is intended for captions[^] will drive you crazy when it is used for regular text.

                    At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

                        Or you could switch all the menu captions to full UPPER CASE (scroll down to second picture[^]), who wouldn't want to pay for an upgrade if the software is constantly shouting at you? A

                          Nice joke! :) But strange, I like Comic Sans - funny font, well drawn. Users are normal people - they will never pay you if they don't want, even if you change localization to chineese.

                            I opened this thread hoping for some valuable hints from professional developers who had solved this problem. I like a gag as much as anyone, but what a disappointment to find not one piece of useful advice. - Patrick :|

                              Nope. As a potential user I don't like any idiotic tricks with software on my machine. Either work or stop and ask for money. Sure, who wanna buy, will pay.
