Papyrus Font
I really enjoy looking at other people's designs and graphics work, but (like most designers) it drives me nuts when I see a badly used font.  I think almost all designers, professionals and amateurs alike, know just how hard it is too make the famous 'Papyrus' font actually look GOOD. 
Long story short, I had a friend who asked me to help her with a project, but the problem was, she absolutely insisted that I use Papyrus. The end result looked awful (in my opinion anyway). 
That being over and done with, I would like to see how other people use / have used this particular font or have seen it used, and what you think of it. Suggestions for using this font in the future would also be useful. Thanks!  _________________ Taylour |

Er.... sorry, Anna, but I'm afraid I'm with Taylour on this one. Still, personal choice and all that... |

Awwww poor Papyrus. It has a bad image by the sounds of it

Re: Papyrus Font
At least it's not as bad as Comic Sans! That font has never looked good. Anywhere. |

Re: Papyrus Font
I agree, Comic Sans is another difficult one to use. _________________ Taylour |

Re: Papyrus Font
I can understand that it would be difficult to get away with using for something like an obituary but it's ideal for speech bubbles. |
