Character fonts--- whats the general opinion?


I've always liked the idea of using different fonts for different characters (as long as the fonts are readable and aren't too outrageous). I always felt that it adds a personality and a kind of 'voice' to the character to have them 'speak' in a slightly different font. Now I've also heard people say that they're not fond of that style. So, just wondering, is there any distinct opinions on this? Or do most people just not care either way?

My comic, by the way is http://24.4.19.108/Casting%20Shadows/ just so those who have no idea what I mean can see.,

Scene, perspective and a new webcomic


Well first I think I'll introduce myself, since I'm new to these forums but looking through them already found some interesting tips and discussions. I'm known as DreamShadows online, and I'm the artist of a relatively new webcomic (about a month old now) named Casting Shadows and the colored version on Drunk Duck http://www.drunkduck.com/Casting_Shadows/

But I don't want this o be just a cheap plug. The fact is I like feedback and while I don't hope to be in any way popular or well known, I do want to make a good webcomic that the readers that I do have will enjoy. With it's hard to get opinions in the begining because not many people comment or respond with what they think. So while I'm still trying to improve... I'd like to work more on my perspective and scenes, and I was wondering if there were any tips or ideas that you guys might have to help me improve that. I'm already afraid I dragged out the first scene too long (14 pages).
