I can deal with everything that isn't Lucida Handwriting.

I just looked that up.



Elsewhere in the thread, I described Airplanes in the Night Sky as twee in a sincere and fullhearted way. This is twee in a half-assed way, mimicking the strokes of slightly sloppy handwriting without actually mimicking the sloppiness. It's freeze-dried twee. Instant twee. Twee in a spray can.

To put it another way, I once went to a burger restaurant called Burger. It sells an eight-dollar burger where the bun is two halves of a glazed doughnut. The menu is handwritten, but if it were typed, it would be typed in this font.

I suppose I'm probably overreacting, but still, it is pretty bad.

Damn... speaking as a semi-professional, that is some GOOD invective. Well done.

Yeah. I remember Lucida Handwriting as that standard font that people in the 90s used when they wanted some sort of "cursive"/handwriting font and this one was the only font of the standard fonts that came close. It was pretty bad. Your description is pretty perfect.
