<div dir="ltr">My favorite font for Klingon is Times New Roman (bold!) indeed, I like to use it, because it has serifs. Maybe I like it because I learned Klingon with the German version of TKD, which uses Times New Roman for Klingon as well.<br>

I've switched over to these kinds of quotation marks: «majQa'»<br>

Ironically they don't show correctly in my own mail program. Maybe it's time to upgrade. Recommendations? I'm running a reasonably recent flavour of whatever Microsoft is calling it these days. I want a fast loading mail program with good filing and filtering that allows me to exclude images from my incoming mail by default, and has good language support.<div class="im">

I haven't quite worked out the punctuation rules for them yet.<br>

<br></div>
I'm going with no whitespace between the guillemets and the contents, punctuation associated with the quotation inside the guillemets and the comma separating the direct speech from {jatlh vajar} outside the guillemets. It looked so terrible inside, and that's how the French do it.<br>

While I'm at it, what's your favourite font for Klingon? Â Times New Roman? Â Garamond? Courier New?<br>

Anything that distinguishes lc L from uc i. I used to use Comic Sans,<br>

<br>
Comic Sans is vastly unpopular with the font geeks. I'm not certain why.<br>

<br>
My own default font in mail does not distinguish. It's cool how unnecessary it is once you speak the language. It's necessary for proofreading, though.<br>

Re guillemets: I like your example with {majQa'}.<br>

Ah that's good, meaning they display correctly for you.<br>
