Crisis
Warning: this entry includes some font geek ranting by yours truly.
This morning's huge crisis is that Bad Lady, who got her new computer because she killed hers last week, lost one of her fonts and no one else has it. The reason this is a crisis is because she only uses three fonts and this is one of the trifecta. The display fonts that she uses, no matter if it's a postcard, a flyer, a notecard, a poster, the side of a bus, or a yard sign, are Bank Gothic and Serpentine. Then for any copy, she uses Gill Sans in all its varieties. That's it. That's the formula. Well, Serpentine is the one that is no longer residing in her arsenal.

Here's the thing.

Sprocket the Techie installed over 3000 new fonts on her system when he replaced it.

You'd think that with that much variety, she could go a little nuts and *maybe* try a different font. But no, instead of accepting her loss and moving on, she is bitching about it for like, the third day in a row.
