I use LD Quick Note quite a bit for journaling. It's easy to read and still fun.

Joyful Juliana is darling. I'm with April though, I don't think I could choose a favorite. I have been using Black Jack a lot lately as a journaling font though. For a fancy script, I really like Porcelain.

I like using LD Dear Diary although that is not always so clear if the journaling is small. I nice one I like is Note This for journaling. I can never remember the fonts names or what they look like, so I set up a page in 8.5X11 in PSE. Then I started at 'A' and typed the name of the font, using the actual font to type it. I printed the pages and keep it handy next to my PC. It's much easier to choose a font if you can see what it will look like on the actual page.

I have so many fonts, but I often use Brush Script MT or Perpetua for a scripty font & Britannic Bold is good for a nice heavy font. I will have to look at the choices here. I haven't gotten into the SG fonts too much yet.

Great idea Belle. Will have to try that when I get some time. Is there ever enough time to do all the little things we'd like?. Kay

I did the same thing as Belle, but did it in Word and only for the fonts I really like. I also have them broken out in some categores--Cute, Cute&Pretty, Pretty, Grungy, GoodForStyles&Fill, Commercial, etc. The lists live on top of my monitor and I refer to them CONSTANTLY. I'd never find anything without them! I have so many fonts it seems like it'd take a whole day to view through them in a pop-up window!!!

I have sooooo many favorite fonts! I wouldn't know where to start! And I never seem to have enough of them.

What a great idea! I spend way too much time searching for the font I used a month ago and loved but can't remember the name of it - I like the way you've done yours and think I will take the time to do the same thing. It will take me awhile, but will save a lot of time in the future. I have so many and never seem to have enough!

I'm still working on this awesome idea - I love it - but have so many fonts, it's going to take some time.......and on the back burner right now til I get over the pneumonia - hoping will wake up tomorrow and it will be all gone - took last antibiotic tonight!

Great idea!

I love fonts and my favorites change all the time, depending on what I'm working on. But my absolute favorite font is LD Becca, found here.

I love many fonts: Della Robbia is a favorite for recipe cards because it's easy to read. I've been looking for a handwriting font that's similar to my own. (I have not been happy with the "turn your handwriting into a font" tools yet.) Courtney Dorkling by Kevin and Amanda has the right spirit even though it's not a great replica for me. I used it in my "Thanksgiving Games" layout. I really like Gabriola for "dressier" layouts or titling, such as in Peggy's Cove. Oh, and.... well, you get the idea. I like lots of fonts!

For handwriting fonts, my favorite is Never Let Go. For non-handwriting fonts, my favorites are Orator and LD Underwood Pica font (available at the SG boutique)

I have thousands of fonts but finally uninstalled and moved most of them to a folder. I've only kept my favourites, which reduces my choices and, thus, speeds up the process of choosing "just the right font." In the end I use a lot of SG fonts and a couple of freebies.

That being said, there is a very versatile selection in the boutique here. Some are Lettering Delights brand, but many are created by our very own designers - several of them were created to coordinate with collections! How cool is that?!!!

I'm a fontoholic, but I find myself using very easy to read fonts for my journaling, since I usually give books away to other people.
Verdana is one of my all time faves, and I use Blue Highway and American Typewriter a lot.

CK Ali's Hand is one of my fave handwriting fonts, but it doesn't have Scandinavian characters, so I use Joe Hand 2 when I journal in Swedish.

Satisfaction, P22 Cezanne and Trajan Pro are three very different fonts (from eachother) that I tend to use a lot on titles!

Now, you sound like me - I can't possibly select a favorite one - it all depends on what I'm doing!

I have a ton of fonts as well ... so hard to choose!! I do tend to use BlackJack for most of my journaling though. I also like Dauphin.
