OK, first question. The text I have needs to be in comic Sans Serif and italics but the italics option is not available, just regular and bold. I know I have the correct font installed on my machine as italic shows up in all my other apps; Word, Outlook, Publisher, etc. Italic is also available in InDesign for other fonts but why not for Comic?

Comic italics not available

Hi Volk359,
Comic Sans has no Italic version. In other apps you can set a font to Italic but this is a bad way to do. In InDesign when there is no italic version in the font, InDesign will not give you the ability to put it in italic.
Often postcript errors or bad pdf's are a result of this option of putting a non-italic font to italic.

I guess opinions are like, well you know, everybody has one. To answer your question I guess it all depends on what one would want to use it for. Personally I can think of many fonts that are uglier than comic and could see no reason why anyone would want to use it, but again it would depend on how it was to be used.
I guess that’s my opinion.

Papyrus, besides being ugly, is so overdone. I see it everywhere. Every italian-restaurant menu, community flyer, international product, local-TV programming ad... they're all done in papyrus. Look around and you'll see it at least once a week.

There are plently of other fonts which don't have Italics.
And Designers seem to love using them.
15º is what we use here.
