Default What font do you use?

Please Login to Remove!

I'm a newbie to the BlackBerry & PDA world (yesterday!), and I just can't decide on what font to use!

So I was wondering what you guys use!

BBCasual, size 7. But I figured out a little trick to make it even smaller. I like my fonts small.

Select the 'System' font and save it. Then pick whatever font you want and it will be smaller than the listed smallest size.

You can tell that it's smaller by looking at the settings screen. With BBCasual on the normal size 7, there are 13 options listed on the screen. After doing the 'trick' there are 15 options listed on the settings screen.

Does this mean I'm the only person in the world who likes BBCondensed? I tried BBClarity, but I swear that it makes my eyes crawl.

Default SimpChinese, 7

How can you guys have the rounded Clarity in size 10 bold! That's like Braille.

I use SimpChinese size 7.

Tried BBMillBank at 7, but it squishes the lines too much (too little space between sentences). I am not Chinese, but the font is well balanced, and at size 7, very readable.
