Yay! I judge a book by its font than it's cover. I like modern fonts. Fonts have a great impact on my reading. I read only short pages if the font is oldish and serifs.

Only if it is annoying and distracts me. Luckily I never experienced something like this.

Font matters. It's the way that author's words enter our mind.

I don't think it would affect my connection with the book, as long as it isn't a font that makes it very hard to read.

I'm really guilty of picking a copy of a book based on it's font. I don't think I could stand to look at and read something that wasn't also visually pleasing. I think I would get a headache.

I’ve never been put off by a font and I don’t think I would ever actually judge the book by one, but if it made the book hard to read I might decide to choose another one instead.
