filling out an online form for an application. there's a box that says "type your full name here to authorize" this is clearly the online version of "sign here"

i cross my fingers and start typing...

this is incredibly specific, but depending on your browser, operating system, and installed fonts, it's possible that <span style="font-family: cursive;">"cursive" and comic sans are one and the same</span>.

one wonders what the rationale behind that one was.

(similarly, depending on platform, <span style="font-family: fantasy;">"fantasy" gets you THE IMPACT FONT USED IN MEMES</span>, definitely what one thinks of when they think of fantasy.)

in reply to @xkeeper's post:

'cursive': fonts that emulate handwriting

from the w3c, apparently. same with fantasy:

'fantasy': decorative fonts, for titles, etc.

i feel like maybe they missed the mark with those definitions, since "cursive" is a specific style of writing. but they do explicitly mention comic sans under "cursive", so...

i guess this is a font crime that goes all the way to the top, baby!

Here (on Windows 10) I get:

  • Chromium: Comic Sans MS, Impact
  • Pale Moon (Firefox fork): Segoe Script, Tahoma

Both have settings for other font aliases, Firefox can set cursive/fantasy in about:config (font.name.*) but gets default values somewhere ...
