Fonts.

Personally, I don't see the need for more fonts. Most of us just use the default (Arial). WHen I see a post in another font, I find it rather "jarring". It disturbs the flow of the page.
OTOH, there are times when another font can be useful, for "special emphasis", and such.
Whatever TF wants, I suppose....

Note that the extra fonts I used may not appear on everyone's computer. They do on mine, at least.
Oh, and to find out how to use those fonts, just quote the first post in that thread. (You simply use the font tag and type in the font name.)

As I mentioned in the thread WillJ pointed to, if you don't have that particular font installed and available for your browser to use, all you will see is the default font ... which makes this kind of meaningless since most posters won't see your cool fonts, anyway.
As Padma states here - Arial is used for a good reason - readability.
I find that the standard for webpages is in the line of Arial, Verdana and similar fonts. This is for on screen display purposes - they are more easily read on a monitor.
Fonts like Times (new roman) and similar fonts are more common on printed paper (default in most MS Word programs). This is also because they are more easily read.
In the thread WillJ refers to, he points out the use of web-safe colours - and that is something which might be useful.

And don't forget CFC-style safe colors.
Some colors are hard to read in certain styles.

Yeah, I know that most peolpe won't see my cool fonts, just tested to be sure they worked on mý comp at least, just to see how the name should be written etc. And I do know that Arial is propably the most easy-to-read font so it is used as default.
But, a cool way to express your self, anyway...

Thats not a good color to use as its the same as the mods use. People might think there has been a mod action. Atleast that is what I was told when I used the color in my sigOriginally posted by cgannon64
