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}.

Ooooh now I can write in wingdings. What ARE wingdings? I'm pretty sure neurotypicals speak wingdingish...which is why I can't understand what most people are saying most of the time!!!

And now I'm writing in webdings. I wonder what the difference is between webdings and wingdings. I wonder if people who speak webdingish and people who speak wingdingish can understand each other.

Hey @Former-Member or @Former-Member how are you going moderating these posts?

Ok, I think I'm done for now. The highlight of my day was definitely discovering that I can write in Greek, wingdingish and webdingish in Forum Land.

Loving this thread and all its glorious font specific language and themes

I am not sure why it appears differently for you depending on which web browser you are on - I can ask some people and let you know what I find out though @Phoenix_Rising @Bunniekins!

@Phoenix_Rising,
I spent around 3-4 hours last week deciding on my new default font for assessments.
I've decided on Garamond, Georgia or Perpetua (my fav).
Such a fun activity!! Hope you enjoyed it.
