Chat font.

Hello, I'm looking for a chat font which is easy to read yet still fits in with the bright colours and pixel font-style of my UI. I'm not saying it has to be a pixel font - it just needs to blend in.

This is my current:

I'm using Arrial Narrow, font size 13 with a normal outline and no shadow. While it's easy to read, somehow I think that this font would fit better in monotone UIs without bright class colours, and with shadow borders instead of 1-pixel outlines.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Regular serif fonts that look like the pixel font... Strong ones, with angles, not curves :P

forgotten futurist
petita
accidentalpresidency
pakenham
enigmatic
Lacuna
Perspective Sans

They all have accents and euro capabilities as well.

edit - All on DaFont

Cool. I'll give them a go.

I spent quite a while browsing on that site, but the database is so huge I just wouldn't know where to start.

By the way, an other thing. Would you suggest an outline or a font shadow (or both)?

Edit: I got this now, I quite like it.



Still a bit off, but oh well.
