You know... you'd think that a bunch of commenters like yourselves would be able to spot a self-aware (and brilliant) act of trollery. And I do mean that in the best possible way. Here's to you, Marco, you magnificent bastard. It obviously worked!
I found the bit that says "If not, you probably don’t care about fonts, so it will be Comic Sans" unnecesarily agressive <i>and</i> false: his post displayed completely in Droid Serif for me. I don't install Helvetica Neue or Comic Sans on my Linux machine because I don't have a license for those fonts (I guess you get one for Helvetica Neue with your copy of iOS, right?).
I do not have Helvetica Neue, and so I got absolutely zero value out of this article.<p>A simple screenshot could have fixed that, but if my lacking a certain font makes someone on the internet feel better about themselves then I guess I'll just have to live with that.
I have the Helvetica Neue family installed, so apparently I care about fonts. What I don't care for is smug, condescending bullshit, and I didn't finish the article.
