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}.

Re: The most boring thread ever created in Forum Land

I'm jumping over here to play with something (emojis which are fonts right?) that has been bothering me for a while, in a really doesn't matter but I just want to know, way. And I don't want to clog up the good morning thread again with my emoji playing.

It's this guy

I use my phone most of the time so I have cool ones of these to use 😁😑:face_with_rolling_eyes:😆 (which look SO different between app and desktop) 😁 is fun on the app and so scary looking on desktop! But sometimes I still type : ) ; ) : P : D : ( : S making 🙂 😉 😛 😄 😞 :S . But I can't work out It's not xD or XD and I don't wan't to type : smileylol : (without the spaces) so I am trying to figure out what to type.

And this one is it 😮 or 😮 ?

Push post and see I guess 😄

Well that was unexpected!

is not : O or : o (my fingers clicked the wrong guy there and I was trying to click (that's what happens when tiny screens are used for desktop mode). But both : O and : o (without the spaces) are this guy

Still doesn't answer my thing though :S

(Clearly I am also pondering the big issues this morning 😉 )

Will keep thinking and be very grateful to anyone who can solve this one for me 😄

@CheerBearI think @Phoenix_Rising will be most pleased you are using the most boring thread to discover these!

Yay to Fun with Fonts! I think Dr Cooper would definitely approve @Phoenix_Rising! I was trying to remember why the title sounded so familiar, but then you reminded me with Sheldon's Fun With Flags.

@CheerBear you've come to the right place to discuss emojis! Thank you for making emojis so entertaining. P_R would definitely approve I think!

@Queenie @Former-Member Oh Phoenix_Rising definitely approves of @CheerBear playing with emojis on this thread!!!! However, does this now present a predicament for poor @Former-Member? I mean given that this thread is actually useful for testing out font-type stuff, does it really belong in Social Spaces or here in About The Forum?

Re: The most boring thread ever created in Forum Land

@Phoenix_Rising Well aren't you clever :P. You know getting off the subject for a second or two Easter will be here before you know it so you are going to have pressure on you to do your magic like you did at Christmas but with an Easter theme ... what do you think?

Re: The most boring thread ever created in Forum Land

@Bunniekins Ahhhhhhhh we can't get off the subject. Must stay focused on thread topic, Greenpea...er what was the topic of this thread again?

Easter is a little way away yet. However, I'm sure that as the time draws closer, I will probably give the easter bunny a call and let him know there are people in Forum Land eagerly looking forward to his arrival there.
