“X-Rated Font Used on Third-Grade Handout”

http://www.telegram.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060918/APA/609182146

“MONROE, N.Y.— 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.”

> Administrators said the teacher did not use the font intentionally

And this is why we should license users, not fonts. If you aren’t smart enough not to use a sex font on a school newsletter, you are forced to use comic sans.

Hahaha Wonderful :) My guess is that whoever chose the font, didn’t really look, and just thought it looked kind of sweet and cute, but when you look closer… LOL.

Reminds a little of this thread.
