That’d be Lucida Calligraphy, which I’d advise against using in All Caps. Never looks good, imho.

Thanks…. by the way what do you feed that cat…
he looks so content I got to get me some.

unknown

Ha. Mmm, doesn’t ‘Science Diet’ sound tasty and appealing! :-)

Poor little Comma. Unfortunately being the world’s most contented cat is no defence against the tires of speeding V8.

ODE TO COMMA (the cat)

I searched him here,
I searched him there,
I even checked my Underware.

I looked in the Village,
I looked in the House…
I called on FontShop with my mouse!!

Is he from MacRhino?
Is he from Storm??
I think I found him!!!…(no, it’s Isonorm)

I called his name (comma)
But he Veered away…
I think he wants to Emigre.

Super! :D

unknown

Ha. Brilliant. I think I need to get a little tombstone for his grave and carve that onto it.

Thanks Ken. :-)

Cool… you mean you put your animals to sleep with your socks…LOL
Boy that is maximizing ones storage…
Comma…..Ok…
Cumon then whats your dog to be called?
Italix… on not cool enough??
Ill leave you to mull over it for a while…

Sorry for hijacking the thread. Of course I blame planet_embroidery for starting the cat comments ;-)

I’ve been trying to work out the nine lives of Comma, which I guess he didn’t (she didn’t, it didn’t) have after all. I get Period, Comma, Semi-colon, Colon, Ellipsis… then maybe Exclamation Point, Question Mark, Interrobang, and then what?.. that’s only eight lives

Oh, I somehow missed these last two comments. Better late than never?

Planet_embroidery - I’m exclusively a cat-person, so I’ve never had to think about a good name for a dog. Comma was almost called ‘Mrs Eaves’, which I think would be a great name for a cat, but as he was a boy that whole ‘Mrs’ bit just didn’t sit right.

Ken - I definitely think that ‘Period’ would have to be the final life, although as he was an Australian cat, it’d really have to be ‘full stop’. :-) Oh, and I think a hypen would round out your punctuation set nicely.
