I seem to remember we had some font discussion a few months ago when I had my knuckles rapped, and rightly so, for using the despised comic sans on my website... I still blush for very shame to think of it.

speaking of which, myPetersfield (.co.uk) is still going strong, there's lots more on it than when I last dropped in on Boinng, and your comments, advice, recommendations, abuse, whatever, would be very welcome. Don't be strangers...

Luckily, the Helvetica Scenario (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY7XH2ulTEU) is very rare, but given the increased age of Helvetica, we should be aware of it as a possibility.

One of my favourite bits from Look Around You. That and "Thanks ants. Thants". Anyone know what the oldest font is (I don't, just curious)?

Oh, and Happy Birthday Helvetica!
