You will notice most manga don't actually use 'cartoony' fonts. Edit: I forgot to mention that you should pair up the Japanese and the English fonts with similar styles. Serif with Serif, Sans Serif with Sans Serif. For example, if you're using serif for english text, then Kozuka Mincho Pro. The standard main font: Wildwords, font size generally between 12-13px. Thoughts/narration: Manga Temple, ditto on the font size. For small-text: Most of our editors use Augie, but you may choose any font that's easy to read. Comments/Notations: Felt is good for this, since it's easy to make out at a small size. Jun 17, 2014.

They seem to be using the same fonts for their fansubs for example their new releases:
Mahouka:

Black Bullet:

Brynhildr in the Darkness:

Though occasionally they use different fonts like the one in Akuma no Riddle:

Can anyone please help me identify what fonts these are? Thank you.
Not sure if I was able to embed the images correctly so maybe I'll just post the direct links below them.

First three are from Crunchyroll, the last is from funimation. So the font differs according to from which site they got them.

They use OpenSans Semi-Bold for CR. Don't know about Funi though, since I don't watch funirips.

Oh I see, they are 100% match. Thank you so much Arigatou ^.^

They don't use CR's same font; CR uses Trebuchet MS (a font that only became 'bad' in the view of certain fansubbers when CR started using it) for everything.
Protip for figuring out which fonts are used: obtain Mkvtoolnix and mkvextract (or mkvcleaver) and extract the subs from softsubbed .mkv files. If you open the .ass files with Aegisub, you can see which font was used for the Main/Default/whatever style. Of course, in the pre-xy-vsfilter days, it was possible to check/change the styles in MPC itself without going through extra steps with additional programs.

I don't know why, but any subtitles that are the color yellow bothers me. Is it just me or does it bother anyone else?

They'd be a pretty lousy employee, like a retail worker who's always sending out hundreds of thousands of free gift cards to people all over the world.

No, because I never fell for the 'any color the industry uses is bad' talking point that so many haters have spread for so long. Note that fansubs used to use the color until 2003-04, and nobody ever got 'eyecancer' from it back then.

if it's softsub, i immediately rip all the subs out, change them to white and merge them back in.. if it's hardsub, i delete immediately. you need to have mental problems to like C-A style yellow subtitles.
