While We Wait: Boredom Strikes Back

[erez87]

Lol somehow I understand them

 

[Northen Wolf]

So does anyone have any idea why — is now showing up as a little box (—)??

edit. Wait. What. I guess it must be the font I am using? :C But I like century gothic.

MS Comic Sans here - Stayin' Classy!

Courier New is the only way to go, if you take yourself seriously, but times new roman will do in a cinch.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Looks like an m-dash to me.

 

[nutranurse]

Well it looks like this — with century gothic

I don't get it. It's not doing it for posts I made previously :C

Oh wait. What. I think it has to do with the amount I am zoomed in. :~I Strange.

I'm a fan of Garamond for print and Futura for display. Both are uncommon and unique enough to stand out and have a high level of legibility. Unfortunately, Futura isn't available on the forums.

Thats odd. Some fonts have a display version at certain common point sizes to increase legibility. It must be that that particular point size is a display version that for some reason omitted the em dash character.

Huzzah! I fixed it by restarting.———

 

[Masada]

garamond looks great; its also nigh on unreadable for anything long.

Personally, Book Antiqua > all

 

[Nylan]

Monotype Corsiva is my font of choice. The lack of legibility appeals to me.

 

[spryllino]

Garamond's my favourite.

I'm fond of Courier New whenever I do mechanical voices, and you can see that I experiment with fonts in my signature.

 

[nutranurse]

Courier New does carry a very 'dead' tone to it, doesn't it? I do feel that if we had a greater selection of fonts we could do some ~wild~ things in our NES' by creating different voices.

 

[Kraznaya]

the forum interface makes other fonts look awkward, since everything else is in the default

Word on the street is our friend Abaddon has now earned a total IP block from CFC, so nobody should be expecting any orders from him anytime soon

Abaddon has been NESing for a long time and whether or not you liked him, he made substantial contributions to our games. I do not expect that he will be participating in any more games, his or those of others. His enthusiasm will be sorely missed.

In other news I've been on these forums almost 10 years without a ban or so much as a warning.

Want me to fix that for you?

I'll just NPC him for a bit.

Perhaps you should plan on something longer.

Ahem....Not much content in that post Thlayli.

 

[North King]

Thlayli was just posting a nice song!

 

[MjM]

Eh, the guy never did anything to me. He was an active NESer, too, kinda sucks he's gone. We don't really number all that many anymore, ya know.

So I now have a nation of geomancing halflings that need to be taken over. Any takers? Update coming soon.
