Frankly, unlike (lowercase) Comic Sans, neither make me want to gouge my eyes out. Neither should be seen anywhere near Times (New Roman or otherwise) or Courier as they mix about as good as oil and water. (If you must know, I like humanist serifed fonts and sans fonts designed to match. Monospaced fonts as long as they're harmoniously chosen I'm not too fussed about.) -- Tristan.
