What font do you write in?

I write in Calibri, 11pt.

 

Goudy Bookletter 1911. Anyone else use it?

It changes every few days/weeks.

Currently using "Journal", size 19, in light pink on a black background. I use a basic, full-screen text editor called Q10 for most of my writing. But on the rare occasion I use MS Word I'll use size 12 Times New Roman.

 

I exclusively use Word for my writing, and currently (and for the past year or so) I write Book Antiqua, size 10. I used to use Courier, but it was making my stories artificially longer, and that was annoying me.

I don't know why, but I like to write in small fonts. I also have the screen set to display the page at 80-90% size, rather than 100%.

I write in Times New Roman, 12 pt, double space the paragraphs and set all the margins to 1" for the page setup. Seems to work nicely.

 

Perpetua, oh I do love my Perpetua. Originally I typed in Garamond, but then i found out that damned British wizards uses it.

 

i forgot to add that i use maiandra for email... the reason should be obvious ;-)

 

I use arial 12, it is simple and easy on the eyes for proof reading. To me anyway. I like the crispness.

 

Good old Times New Roman for me.

 

When I'm writing, I use:

Americana BT size 12
Justified margins
No indent on paragraphs
Single space with double space between paragraphs.

I would, of course, change this when printing out a manuscript for submission to the standards of left margin, double spaced, indenting the first line of a new paragraph, and using Times New Roman font, size 12.

I use Microsoft Word, and it takes only a minute to change the format of the entire manuscript, so when I'm writing I use what I like, and change it to the standards when needed.

Sometimes, for fun, I use my own handwriting as the font; I have a program that lets one create their own.

 

Verdana size 10, 1,5 line spacing. The only way I can comfortably write

 

Calibri, size 11 because that is the default on my word program. I usually switch it to Times New Roman 12 right before submitting anything.

 

I write in Arial 11 or 12, because I like to give it an official look. Also, actual books need that font, so I need to know exactly how many pages I wrote.
Oh, and they always recommend Arial or any regular font, because the other too neat ones are distracting sometimes. Neat, like Edwardian font.

 

Glad to see I'm not the only one who writes initial drafts by hand.

When typing I change fonts frequently. Lately I've been using Bookman Old Style (11pt).

 

Times New Roman size 12.

It makes me feel like a *real author*, unlike that damned Calibri.
No offense to anyone who uses that font, it just irks me. Haha.

 

Times 12. It's not fancy, it's not blatantly computerised (see: anything sans-serif), it works.

 

Like a lot of the others on here, I use Times New Roman, size 12. It's the font I grew up using in school.

 

I type it up in Times New Roman with a small font size [Such as sizes 6-9]. However, whenever it is I convert it into the manuscript form, it'll pretty much be entirely different. I just like that it looks nice as I continue =P

 

I use Times New Roman, Size 12, because that's all I've known from writing essays to book reports.

 

I use Simsun, size ten. I don't know why, I just like it. Sometimes I use Lucida console.

 

First drafts are by hand, but when I type it in, it's in Courier, 12 pt.
For submissions I leave it in Courier unless the recipient states they want something else. I'll submit it in Old English, 4 pt. if that's how they want it.

 

Plantagenet Cherokee, size 12. I don’t know why but I get pretty obsessed with presentation from the get-go. It’s a nice, neat font, but most people seem to either hate it or love it.
