i dont have a "specific" font but for siggys, its just my opinion, but use one thats actually readable. lol. many of the siggys ive seen, they had fonts you couldnt tell was a design or actual words o_O

so id just use something visible, cursive maybe... i dunno, not too good with siggys o_O

It vitally depends on what you're trying to communicate.

Are you going a pretty sig? Try a script font like Altast Greeting or Zapfino
Want to be bold and in your face? Try something heavy like Impact or Franklin Gothic Heavy.
Want something highly readable? Go Optima, Baskerville, the old stand-bys Arial and Times or similar.
Want something whimsical? Maybe try Bubblesoft or Catchup.
Want something more technical? Try Copperplate.

There is a reason there are so many fonts to choose from. Every font has a slightly different modd to it, choose one that fits the rest of your sig. And like others said, keep it readable. If you've seen my sig on the Mabinogi official forums, I know I have a problem with that, that's why I'm not using it here on this site. (I'm gonna re-do it sometime.)

Thank you, I finished up my signature! I wish I could fix up the screenshot part. Photoshop is in my mac and I don't feel like going there to edit it so here's like a practice signature. And I'm not going to say *point at signature* this is for future reference!



By the way, what do you think of my uniform and outfit?

Neat! Where'd you get that? I don't think I've seen that body piece before.
