Fonts not showing up
« on: September 23, 2010, 11:22:06 AM »
Hello,

I like to use fonts to show different type of writing on the forums and on posters. It gives a flair of the things being more unique, ie for Edmond whose writing is fancy and neat I tried to us fonts such as Edwardian Script ITC  and French Script MT. It gives more personality to the bio's and letters and other IC stuff when the fonts and the writing style itself is unique.

However my issue is that I been told that other people do not see these fonts, and that they appear as big bold instead the fanciful and elegant fonts they are supposed to look like.  so I would like to know why it is that the fonts appear as they should for me and they don't for others. I would like to keep using different fonts to add personality to my IC stuff, so I would like to try and find a solution to this.

sincerely,

-herkles

People have to have that particular font installed on their own PC

No evil shall escape my sight
