Does anybody else use fonts they can't read?

For AIM, i have recently discovered that i enjoy using fonts that i cannot read.
Why?

1. When someone walks into my room (mainly my sister or parents) they cannot tell what i am saying. This is helpful if i'm incredibly mad and swearing alot, or just talking lovey-dovey to my GF (which can be embaressing lol)

2. It makes me type slower and actually think before i hit the keys. I am making less typing/spelling mistakes on AIM and it will eventually make me a better typer

I'm already glanciing away from the keys more when i type.

I've tried japanese and a few other languages, but the Matrix code is by far the best

You can see my GF's initial response in this screenshot. Keep in mind this will NOT work if the other person you are talking to has the font installed on their computer. Most people dont have matrix code installed, so it comes up as Arial or Times New Roman on there screen, they can read what i say jsut fine

EDIT: i realize i missed one of her SN's, o well lol. Be nice!

That's a very cool idea! I might do that, but where can I download it from?

www.dafont.com/en (for english) has MANY fonts. Once you find one download it, extract it, and take the .tff file (or w/e the font file is) and paste it in - C:/ (wherever your OS is installed)> WINDOWS> Fonts > Paste it and it should install in 2 secs. It's now available on any program on your computer that supports Fonts.
