FontBitch

Sunday 8 September 2002

Thanks to Scott Johnson for inventing the term font bitch:

1 A person who places his or her own font preferences before those of his or her own readers.
2 An individual who honestly sees no problems with forcing everyone to read a blog or online document in 8- or 10-point fonts.

A fitting name for a disagreeable sort of person. I have sounded off about this behaviour before, and before that. And my thanks to Typographica for the pointer.
