I think it's funny that Papyrus is the kind of font people "insist" on. I've had so many people tell me it's their favorite font, and yet it's the kind of font I insist on trying to talk those people out of.
My mind wanders. And that's not a good thing, 'cause it's too small to be out there alone. Posts: 3129 | From: Tooele, UT | Registered: Mar 2005

I find it (Papyrus), a decent style, fun to do and just right for classy projects...not the way David displayed, which is so wrong on so many levels...When shadowing ANY script(some say never), be mindful of all strokes and color used, most common errors. And to translate into understandable lingo for newer generation signpeople; kerning(formerly "spacing")could use some help too...
Now, if you were a PM Alumni, you'd know that already...heheheh

I've used it on a couple of projects to good effect but I can understand Russ' point about lay people "falling in love with it". They're the same type of people who bring you layouts they did in Word using Comic Sans. (with each letter in a different color)
I'm with Magoo about the kerning on Papyrus. It's awful and always needs to be heavily tweeked.
