Title: writing stuff in posts
Post by: surferboy on October 01, 2011, 11:18:25 PM
Hi guys

I can change colours  and bold and italic and underline and cross out and highlight and up stuff and down stuff

but how do i change font face (it just tells me its Verdana but doesnt show options)  and  font size ( it shows as 10 point but no options) ?

Why on earth would you want to change the font?  ;D

Just replace "Verdana" with the font you want to use, I've just gone through this arguement at work though, it's effectiveness depends on what fonts are installed on the end-users PC. If they don't have the fancy font installed on their PC it will be replaced with something they have like "Arial"

Size is also as simple as increasing the number from 10, or decreasing for that matter, this is 30.
I'd suggest using the preview button to check it is what you want before posting.

did this work
YES it did    ;D

thanks guys
I was sure there would be a way
now I can play more (just got to find out which font styles it uses)
and now my posts can be much more decorative  :D

I was expecting a list of sizes and font options to appear but it didnt and it confused me  ::) (not hard to do)

PS  Alex, I always preview cos I cant trust myself to write stuff proper the first ( or second or third ) time

When you're writing a post, you'll see a line of little faces above where you type your text:

Click on them to insert them into your text - easy as that.
