Usage of fonts... something my friend asked me in class a few days ago.

Fonts are pretty stuff you want to add on your skins. You know, all the cool stuff you can find on dafont.com. Personally I feel that if you are creating a dramatic skin, dont ever go for fancy fonts because it's too much. Fonts like Times New Roman, Courier New, Tahoma among others are very... how you say... versatile, and it sorts of fits into everything. I am not saying fonts from dafonts are not good, there are pretty fonts I download too, but I like fonts like Cooper Black (as used on this skin for the word Riotgirl) because it's simple, cute and fits everything (well almost). Simple fonts, like script ones are nice too. Examples of fancy fonts are Cocaine Sans, Nasty, grunge fonts, and fonts you see on misprintedtype.com. They are pretty, but they go best if you have a skin that goes really really well with the font, if not I find it really ugly. Fancy fonts with fancy brushes and pictures... I think it's too much, unless you really can carry off that really well.
