Are serifed fonts really that much easier to read on paper? Since I have issues reading either on-screen or on-paper. I don't like anything except for Sans-serif.
And serifed fonts (except when of course put on for thematic reasons) - especially times new roman - on a website is like... *dies*
Times new roman is the halmark of unprofessional webdesign IMHO, as it shows someone was too lazy (or inexperienced) to change the font from something other than the default. Beyond (but just barely so) flashing backgrounds and unrelated animated .gif's that someone threw on because they thought it 'looked cool'.
So what is your opinion on the use of serifed fonts? (and sans-serif?)
Serifed fonts are really a legacy from back when methods of printing on paper (and the paper itself) were bad, and caused all sorts of problem with things like inconsistent amounts of ink and the ink bleeding, and thus the serifs actually were necessary to aid in distinguishing one from another, and thus really have relevance only in the printing of cheap paperbacks and newspapers (And people with really old printers/lousy paper), or on websites where they are actually thematically appropriate. (or if it's a site that is... distributing fonts. I mean, you have to put up examples of what the font looks like...
)
