Fun with fonts
At least it wasn't Comic Sans:
X-rated type used on third-grade handout in New York
Tuesday, September 19, 2006
MONROE, N.Y. (AP) -- School officials apologized after an X-rated font was used on a third-grade spelling packet handed out to parents. The font showed male and female stick figures in provocative poses to form the letters of the alphabet.
Officials with the Monroe-Woodbury School District in Orange County apologized last week after parents at Pine Tree Elementary School were given the spelling packet at an open house.
Administrators said the teacher did not use the font intentionally.
Monroe is about 45 miles northwest of New York City.

As an IT guy for an advertising firm... Fonts are the bane of my existence. Having 3000 fonts loaded is one of the few things that can bring a Quad-core Powermac G5 to its knees.
I wish we were using the porn font... Might bring a little joy to the nightmare that is fonts.
