Line 83:
* Many [[Scanlation|Scanlations]] groups use this to great effect.
* ''[[Death Note]]'' does this, at least in the English manga. The shinigami speak in a different font than the human characters.
* ''
* The Occult Club president from ''[[Mahoraba]]'' alternated within each word between two different methods of writing Japanese, hiragana and katakana, and the scanlation I read represented this by capitalizing eVeRy OtHeR lEtTeR.
* Mokona in ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'' (original version) speaks in a rounded font. It takes a while to learn to read it...
Line 139:
* ''[[Chainmail Bikini]]'' uses a different font for each player (with the same font being used for table talk by the player and in-character statements by that player's character).
* ''[[The Wotch]]'' uses a black speech-bubble with white letters for Dark Lord Xaos. During a flashback, you see the moment where he discards his old persona as the Lawful Good "Worlock", and dons the spikey darkey helmet of Lawful Evil Lord Xaos; his speech-bubbles reverse their colors from one panel to the next.

* ''[[Bob and George]]'' has the Shadowy Author, whose bubbles are normal colored, but just float around without the tail pointing to his mouth.

Line 156:
** Most characters in ''Vinci & Arty'' have distinct fonts, with the exception of non-recurring characters, who just get a generic font.
* ''Combo Rangers'' (hey, [[Theres No Such Thing As Notability]], right) has speech bubbles [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]], in accordance to the character's uniform colors. This was useful when it was revealed that a [[Big Bad]] was a clone of Power Combo, thanks to their similar speech bubbles.
* Since the characters of ''[[
** Well, they seem to "hear" their voices, but in the same sense that we do -- by seeing the fonts and imagining how they sound. This provokes a bizarre conversation halfway through the strip where they begin arguing about what their voices sound like. Zadok the grass golem is told that only he thinks his voice is a sexy rich baritone instead of a creepy rustling scratching.
* ''[http://thinks.com/family-fun/kim-and-jason.htm Kim & Jason]''
Line 163:
** This convention was picked up by ''[[Darths and Droids]]''.
** And in the recent [[Deep-Immersion Gaming]] portions of ''[[The Wotch]]''.

* David Hopkins' ''[http://www.pholph.com/ Jack]'' uses a very distinctive style of speech bubble for any dialogue spoken by the Sins in the strip and a second distinctive style for those characters who are/were Fallen angels, although the latter is rarely seen.
** Candy and Ryan Dewalt, the pair behind ''Vinci & Arty'', did a story arc for ''Jack'' (with full approval from David Hopkins) and brought their talent for character-specific fonts to ''Jack''.
