When taking notes digitally (on a tablet or computer, duh!), one becomes excessively focused on fiddling with the font or perfecting the page layout, almost always resulting in a lack of attention to the actual content of the subject being studied. Fonting produces visually appealing class notes but a lack of real comprehension of those notes.
Are you sure your fonting is not coming at the expense of your comprehension?

The less you font, the more you focus;

Excessive fonting leads to excessive ignorance;
The more you font, the less you know;

The more you font, the prettier your words ! (and pretty words are really useful, right? NOT!!)

More from Urban Dictionary
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
