     What's your hated fonts tier list? Papyrus and Comic Sans are Internet consensus, is anything else up there with them?

     After Comic Sans, what are the alternative candidates?

     @mansr I think I asked the wrong question.

     What I would want for a T-shirt would not be someone's personal peeves, but rather fonts that are generally recognized as bad choices for general purpose use.

     @clacke Trebuchet MS is horrible but in more subtle ways than those two. The longer you look at it, the uglier it gets.

     And then there's Arial, obviously. The capital R is just hideous.

     Apparently Papyrus comes in 2nd place.

     Any consensus on the 3rd worst looking font?

     @clacke Sorry, I can't think of anything that comes close to the two you mentioned in terms of mainstream disdain. The "Algerian" font that came with MS Office 95 was certainly overused (and almost always looks ridiculous), but I don't think it's as widely recognised.
