“Sketching font” alternative to Comic Sans? [closed]
Question
In sketching (or mockup) tools such as Balsamiq and WireframeSketcher Comic Sans is used to give that "sketchy", hand drawn look. My only problem is, I'm so tired of that font.
Any suggestions for alternatives?
Edit: WireframeSketcher does not default to the Comic Sans font, but it's the one used to show an example of a "sketchy" look.
Solution
Google for "technical font". I like this one.

If your printing is decent, you can have a font of your own made at www.yourfonts.com

Here's a couple of examples
