Well, no. When you chose a font like that you can only have one apply at any one time. For example the standard font applied is the normal weight one. But you can often switch to bold or italic or anything like that.

However I agree that it's misleading.

There are some generic, overused fonts that are generally seen as "safe", but are otherwise very uninteresting and low-taste:

-Times New Roman
-Arial
-Helvetica
-Calibri
-Segoe
-Verdana
-Futura
-Cambria
-Probably a few more.

And then you have those absolutely attrocious gimmicky fonts that you should kill yourself if you ever mean to use them unironically, like:

-Comic Sans
-Papyrus
-Courier New
-Impact
-Apple Casual

etc.

Theres a reason fonts like Times, Arial, Helvetica and Verdana are widely used.

If you create a web site and use one of those fonts for the plain text, you can be sure it will look the same on every system that browses it.

I'll agree with the others though, anyone who has ever used Comic Sans, every ironically should be send to a camp and gassed until they are dead.

Of course, Times and Arial are mandatory when dealing with big blocks of text, since they're so comfortable for reading. I was mainly refering to logos and such, which is really what most aspiring graphic designers want to work on.

You go to a font licensing website, such as Dafont, fonts.com, etc. and pick the one you fancy. They typically have descriptions available that state the terms, you can get many of them free of charge for any personal or commercial usage, legally. If you're running some major company or need them for something that's sure to attract legal attention, you'd typically purchase a license for that font. You go to the said website(s), select the one you need, and purchase a license for it that allows you unlimited usage, or the one provided in the terms.

TLDR, click and buy.

Disclaimer, I was actually involved in the localization for this, and apparently the devs thought getting a free font from the web was a smart idea to save money.

Too bad they had to add non-ASCII stuff by hand. And then Russian localization came on board. AND THEN all the really weird-ass characters you could use in your 3DS name had to be added as well.
