Top 10 Signs You're a Fontaholic

10. You spend more time looking at how the name of the car in front of you is written rather than where you're going.

9. You have 3 or more fonts on your computer that are fantasy or science fiction languages/symbols that you can't read, but hey... they look cool.

8. You're the only one you know who thinks being able to have only a few HUNDRED fonts on Windows 98 is a problem.

7. You agonize for hours over which font to remove from your maxed-out system in order to install the cool new font you found today.

6. You visit a Font-of-the-Day site for two and a half months before finding a font you haven't seen before.

5. You try to explain to your friends why you like fonts so much, and it only makes you sound geekier.

4. You truly believe Ray Larabie is a GOD.

3. You state with conviction that you can never have enough calligraphy fonts.

2. You don't have any outline fonts on your computer when you already have their solid versions because the outline versions would only take space away for other fonts.

And the number one sign you're a fontaholic:

1. You can often point out lettering you see in advertisements or logos by their font names; "Hey, that's Colonial Uncial!"

You are only presenting the milder versions.

What about when it gets serious?

o You only have time for fonts - no family.

o You don't tell your family what you're doing online all the time. Tell them "porn" and they won't ask more...
Tell them "fonts" and they'll lock you up.

o You don't have time to mow the lawn because you have to do "backup".

o You're happy when the unfiled group has less than 10,000 fonts.

o You have to get more disk drives to hold your collection.

o You worry you don't have enough backup so you buy another disk drive just to be sure.

o You ask your good friend to hold one backup disk drive until after winter just to make sure it survives if your house floods.

o You ask your other friend to hold another backup disk drive until after summer just to make sure it survives if your house burns down.

o Your friends stop talking to you because you're so boring.

o You accumulate everything, but never look at anything. . .
