Well, it's hard to say. I've never been all that creative, preferring to consistently use Times New Roman or Arial. However, occasionally fonts can make writing better. For instance, a very short novel I wrote used two diaries of two different people. I used two different handwriting fonts that matched their personalities. I think it added to the story.

I guess it depends on what you're using fonts for. In some sense, fonts are used to add more pizzazz to a piece, or simply make it look more fun than the boring Times New Roman script. But if the font is really really hard to read, is in symbols no one understands, or is distracting to the eye, then I guess it is distracting and makes your life more difficult (but at the same time Wingdings can be pretty cool if you're using it for fun...) We use fonts to express ourselves, so I guess they are actully kind of important. They're unique, just like we are, and we can use then to express a certain feeling, emotion, or set the scene for a paper or whatever.

I really like to be able to recognize fonts, and I can but I am more familiar with Microsoft ones than the Apple. I think that Comic Sans is just an annoying font, that has small circumstances where it looks good. I have kind of become a hater of Times New Roman because I always have to use it in school, which is very tiring. I really like the new (to me) Microsoft Word fonts.

Omg I HATE comic sans. drives me crazy!

I like simple, READABLE fonts that aren't too complicated or annoying. Times New Roman and Arial are my favorites, but, on occasion, I will use Verdana, Georgia, or Sans Serif. I admit: I am a hater of Wingdings, Bookshelf, and other code fonts.

Usually I think A font doesnt matter. But when typing a letter in a book or something, a font would show people the difference between the story/etc. and the letter. Thats just what I think.

SMILES TO ALL :D

I thin k that fonts do SOMETIMES distract from the purpose. before i write an english progecti spend ho;urs trying to find the right font

Sometimes I wonder how useless fonts such as Wingdings and Tamburo made it into the font lists for any of the word processing programs. I can understand that there would be some need for them, but I think the demand would be so limited that they ought to be merely options on the symbol list rather than official fonts.

Another font which is gaining infamy similar to the widespread hatred of Comic Sans is the Papyrus font. Designed by Chris Costello, many people would recognize the Egyptian-esque font from its overt use in so many different products. From Edible Arrangements to Lemon Snap cookies to basically any middle-school student's book report, this font is almost everywhere. Its most notable presence was in the movie "Avatar", in which it was the only font in the movie. This was the essential notoriety the font needed to start a movement of anti-Papyrus protesters, selling shirts reading "STOP USING PAPYRUS" on the front around the country.

I personally thing that Comic Sans should have stayed where it belonged; handwritten, and in comic books. Since its already been created I think that it shoulden't be banned, I think everone should have not only have th right of free speech, but also the right of free type. ( Although I think people SHOULD use they're Comic Sans common sense, AKA using Comic Sans on a gravestone?!! SEROUSLY??!!! ) My personal fav font is ARIAL NARROW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crisp, but not too impersonal, Compact, but not too hard to read, informative, but not BLAIRING and HEADACHE INDUCING (Impact, THIS MEANS YOU!!)  I think Arial Narrow is THE FONT OF THE  FUTURE!!!!!!!!

Etc..

Geek and (as you probably guessed) Arial Narrow FAN. 

If you use a "boring" font such as Arial, Times New Roman, Helvetica or Trebuchet it won't take away from the writing because your eye is drawn more to the content of the words instead of the shape of the letters. Now if you use a font such as Lucida Handwriting, Forte or Gigi, your eyes will be drawn more to the curls and bends of the letter instead of the actual meaning.

P.S. My favorite fonts are Trebuchet and Rockwell.

I think that sometimes Comic Sans can be good, and sometimes it can be bad. It's good in humorous writing, like joke books or comic strips, but bad in things like emergency exit signs. I think fonts can contribute or discontribute to what is being written. It can kind of blend with the writing, or distract people, depending on if the fonts and writing match up or not. As for my favorite font, I like Karen (I think that's what it's called). It's kind of like my handwriting.

I think Comic Sans is okay for elementary schools and such, but I'd prefer it not be used in... gravestones, ambulances, and exit signs. It just makes it look, frankly, amateur and unprofessional. I don't know about Papyrus. It's so commonplace but I honestly have nothing against it; I just don't use it. Still though, I didn't like when Avatar used such a distinct, commonplace font in its movie. It should distinguish itself more.

THINGS I HAVE FOUND WITH PAPYRUS FONT (that I can bother to remember)

A brochure for something for my church

A copy of So Long and Thanks For All The Fish

Avatar (duh)

Several school reports on Ancient Egypt

Meh, my memory's slow today. I know there are more! I just can't remember them.

Fonts don't matter, its not about the appearance its about the words. If you want something to "look more personal," why not WRITE IT BY HAND? Yes I know crazy idea.

I like impact ad wingdings but its cnfyoosing :P

I love fonts. They make the work more interesting! Times New Roman is so boring. That's why I like comic sans. It's my favorite font! I use it often.
