Do you think fonts affect how we interpret text? What we assign importance to? What we remember and what we don't after reading a body of text. For example using bold and italics signals what the author thinks is important or most relevant but what if you read the same text with different words italicized and bolded? Or reading the entire text in a completely different font... Hmmmm....

I think fonts do have impact on human mind. Actually different font and their sizes make lots of difference. If you find certain words/lines with bigger size then ur eyes capture it faster. Even different colours would also add extra value.
Many would argue that over usage of fonts, sizing, coloring, and styling indicates a weakness in the author's ability to express his or her points through pure language, tone, context, and other literary devices.
I feel anybody arguing on the same will be really dumb. I mean there are so many well-known facts and a research made, which proves that the fonts, sizing and coloring do, makes differences. So there is no point of weakness of author it is way of expression.
Good topic, I love reading blogs but I get turned off right away if the font doesn't look right.
