Fun with Fonts

Fun with Fonts

Good afternoon fellow Forumites. Here's a spoiler alert for this thread: It is going to be really really really boooooooring. I want to experiment with different fonts. For some bizarre reason, which I'm sure clever people like @NikNik understand, when I make a post look exactly how I want it to look using IE, it ends up looking nothing like what I want it to look in Chrome. Hence I want to play around with font sizes and styles to try and figure out the best ones to use. That's it. That is all this thread is going to be about. Yep, definitely nothing interesting to see here.

{Phoenix_Rising now sits back and waits for some cheeky Forumite to start making smart comments on this thread, thereby somehow turning a completely innocuous thread into something ridiculous - glares particularly at @Queenie @Bunniekins @Zoe7}.

Yep, that's definitely what I'm thinking, @Queenie!

Now, what are we doing back on this thread? You know NikNik and Lauz are on a mission to keep threads on track in Forum Land. Er...does this thread even have a track?

Re: The most boring thread ever created in Forum Land

Well this thread had a dual purpose... to discuss fonts and also be so far removed from being the most boring thread in Forum Land. I think it strangely achieved its purposes! LOL!

I wonder what this proposed NEW thread could contain? Or will it just be an awful lot of views @Phoenix_Rising?

Giggle. I shouldn't have told you that I had thought about such a thread @Queenie. I only THOUGHT about it - you will lead me astray! Methinks you and @Bunniekins are a very bad influence on me.

Re: The most boring thread ever created in Forum Land

Random point - but the person who started the thread can always go back to their original post and edit it to change the title of the thread to suit whatever purposes arise in the course of discussions!

Re: The most boring thread ever created in Forum Land

@Former-Member That is very true about editing the title of the thread.

Hmmm...maybe I could re-name this thread Was the most boring thread ever created in Forum Land until @Queenie and @Bunniekins came along.

Hey...if you guys keep making this thread interesting, do you think @NikNik or @Former-Member will come along and tell us we need to be more boring if we want to post on this thread?

Re: The most boring thread ever created in Forum Land

So what was a thread about fonts is now a thread full of giggles about fonts? I see, I see.

Maybe it should be changed to Fun & Fonts?? (I like comic sans fyi...) And we could move it to the social spaces area...thoughts everyone?

Re: The most boring thread ever created in Forum Land

@Former-Member {giggle}. I have no idea how this happened. I started this amazingly boring thread for a very serious purpose and somehow it turned into...well...this.

It's ok by me if you want to move it over to the social spaces. I guess I'll just need to remember where it is next time I want to actually check out font-related stuff.

I think we should rename it fun with fonts. Then it would be just like Sheldon Cooper's fun with flags!
