    Aside from all that, the only serious font on the list that isn't a Microsoft or Apple Inc endorsed font is Helvetica.

    In the old days we enjoyed whatever the linux console font was. Or MSDOS console font wasn't bad.

    One font I didn't like was small number of dots dot matrix printers where lowercase descenders were lifted up to fit. Now that looked awful.

    My first computer was an Apple IIe that my dad stole from work right before he got fired and we skipped town. Our family didn't have a TV while we were on the run, so I used an ImageWriter dot matrix printer as a teletype instead. I had fun with our Apple IIe until my dad sold it to pay for crack cocaine.
