[font=Times New Roman]More Fonts in the Forums[/font]

The newest update gave me a great idea:

More font options in the forums ͡!

Not sure if you're noticing, but if you enter an unsupported character after a sentence, all non-punctuation characters behind it become a different font.

But anyways, I was thinking of new BBCode, which changes the font of the text inside to whatever is parsed. Maybe some example fonts that could be supported are:
  • Georgia
  • Calibri
  • Courier (New)
  • Times New Roman
  • Geneva
  • Rockwell
  • Impact
  • Arial
  • Scratch Font
So, do you think we should have more font options? If you disagree, tell me why.

Comic Sans should not only be supported, but HAILED AS THE BEST FONT TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT NOTHING ELSE IS POSSIBLY BETTER.

Anyways, I guess I support, although there's nearly no reason to have this.

Nothing ever looks good in Comic Sans. For examples, look here and here.

Anyway, I support Georgia, Calibri, Courier, Arial, and Times New Roman. Scratch font really isn't necessary, IMO.

Capsicum annuum.

I am good with lists. My main profile is Failord.

Kaj, the Custom Block Sorcerer, or my pesky, vengeful keyboard are entirely to blame for spelling mistakes or other errors in my posts.

Want a "delete [string] from list" script? Don't suggest it- look here first!

Oops! I misread. Well, Impact would be nice for the forums as well!

Use Comic Sans. ()

Personally, I don't think we need all of these, but some of these would be nice.

Capsicum annuum.

OMG, I MADE EVERYTHING WINGDINGS!
In Chrome, right-click the webpage, select “Inspect Element”, then go to the “Styles” drop-down palette. Scroll down until you find "Inherited from html“. Uncheck the first ”font family“ box, then go down to the ”html {" and click on the group of font names. Clear it, then type 100% ‘Wingdings’, and prepare for lawlz.
Huh, weird blank space…
Also works with Impact, Georgia, Papyrus, Rockwell, Arial, Courier, Kartika, Calibri, and Comic Sans MS.

I did not know that.

Sorry, I will not vote thumbs-down for Comic Sans. It seems like such a harmless font!

Support. But yes to Cosmic Sans!!!!!
