Arial or Helvetica?



We all love helvetica. Then there is the Zune of helvetica, arial. Now, before you get all angry because I compared arial to a Microsoft product, consider the fact that it was Microsoft who borrowed helvetica for its operating systems and called its impostor version arial.
Check out this article on how to tell the differences between the two.
If you think you are a helvetica genius, try this quiz.

Love the Zune relation. On the topic of arial and helvetica, you should check out the February issue of HOW. It has a really big article on fonts similar to helvetica, but different, including arial.

Thanks Bukes!
Good excuse for a Barnes & Nobel run.
