Top 5 Fonts to Never Ever Use
前五大永遠別用的字體
Hello! And welcome to Videojug. Picking the right font for your email, presentation, or friendly notice stuck on the office fridge can be a nightmare. Which whimsical font to choose? Which best sets the tone you're after? To help you decide, here's our top 5 fonts to never ever use in any situation ever. So it's none of these.
哈囉!歡迎收看 Videojug。挑選合適字體來寫郵件、報告，或貼在辦公室冰箱的友善小紙條可以是場噩夢。要選哪種奇特的字體呢？哪一種最符合你要表達的語調？為了幫助你決定，這裡是我們的前五大任何情況都永遠別用的字體。所以你的選擇不會是這些。
Number 5: Arial
第五名：Arial
Arial is so Windows 3.1. It's been around for so long now that it's comforting and familiar in the same way that makes middle-aged men trade in their wives for a younger, sexier model. Arial is therefore the pixel equivalent of a frumpy housewife.
Arial 有夠 Windows 3.1 的。它現在已經出現太久，以至於這字體太過安逸而且同樣熟悉，像讓中年男子把老婆換成更年輕、性感的模特兒的那種熟悉感。因此 Arial 等同無趣主婦的電腦像素版。
Number 4: Times New Roman
第四名：Times New Roman
Times New Roman is rarely appropriate in a futuristic Web 2.0-enabled society. It's clumsy, and has some weird, ugly sharp twisty bits coming off each of the letters. Ach!!! What a mess. Pick something properly classy, like Verdana, and let Times die.
Times New Roman 在一個充滿未來感的 Web 2.0 社會中很難適用了。它笨拙，而且每個字母尾端還有一些奇怪、醜陋的尖銳彎角。啊!真是一團糟。選用一個極優雅的字體，像是 Verdana，讓 Times 字體安息吧。
Number 3: Papyrus
第三名：Papyrus
Papyrus makes everything you type look like it was written on the wall of a pharaoh's tomb, albeit by a robot from the future. That's not a good thing. If you're going to use it, why not go the whole hog and flip the color to green, and write "Save the trees! Please don't print off this email unless you really need to..." in your email signature, like any of your emails are actually worth printing off!
Papyrus 讓你打的每個東西看起來都像寫在法老王墓的牆上，然而卻是來自未來的機器人所寫。那不是件好事。如果你要用這字體，怎麼不做徹底點，把顏色改成綠色，然後寫「救救樹木!除非你真的需要，不然拜託別列印這封信...」寫在你的郵件署名處，好像你任何一封郵件真的值得列印一樣!
Number 2: Comic Sans
第二名：Comic Sans
The grandaddy of all unusable fonts. Initially intended to be a quick comic book substitute, Comic Sans quickly found itself overused to the point of eye-bleeding saturation, and is now rarely seen outside the realm of ignorant, passive-aggressive office notes.
所有沒用字體的祖父。最初目的是用來當快速的漫畫替代字體，Comic Sans 很快就發現自己被濫用到傷眼的程度，如今在無禮、放冷箭的辦公室便條外的地方已經很少見了。
Number 1: Curlz
第一名：Curlz
"Look at me," this font says. "Look at how what I write perfectly embodies the sort of person I am... I'm a bit crazy and a bit different. I stand out!" It doesn't matter that you can't actually read what they're writing, because the sort of person that chooses a nonsense font like Curlz invariably hasn't got anything important to say anyway...almost always written in pink and accompanied by acres of rubbishy clipart! True story: The email invite to last year's Videojug Christmas party was written entirely in red and green Curlz, and the entire office was sick blood.
「看看我」，這個字體說。「看我寫的字怎樣徹底體現出我是哪種人... 我有點瘋癲又有點獨特。我與眾不同!」你無法真的讀懂他們在寫什麼根本沒關係，因為挑一個像 Curlz 這種蠢字體的那種人反正也老是沒什麼重要的事要說...幾乎總是用粉紅色寫，還加了一堆沒用的圖片!真實故事：去年 Videojug 聖誕趴的邀請郵件就是完全用紅色和綠色的 Curlz 打的，整辦公室的人都吐血了。
In short, be careful about which fonts you use because the wrong one makes you look like a proper wally.
簡言之，注意你選用的字體，因為錯的字體會讓你看起來像個十足的笨蛋。
