What about the fonts?


I tried to use different fonts in my posts, it didn't work. A bug? Thank you.

Arial Black
Comic
Garamond
Times new roman


It appears to work. At least on my browser. Do you have those fonts installed or is it a tags problem?

Note: some of these fonts are MSTT Fonts, so in Linux you would need that package MSTT-core-fonts if you want to view them.

Umm... I can see you used some fonts... Can you see it? Because I don't. I don't have any package for fonts installed in linux, so probably that's why I can't see them. Thank you.

Yes. It would be better if you can post a screenshot. Also check what fonts you have available on your system. By default some fonts get substituted automatically if they are not found.

How do I post a screenshot? Am I allowed to do this at LQ? I think I read somewhere something like "you're not allowed to post attachements". How do I check what fonts are available on my system? I think I don't have any fonts installed, so the following question is how do I install them? If it is something complicated, don't bother about this, because it's not that important to me.
And... yes, you're right, it works. I am writing this post in Windows right now and I could see the fonts. Thank you.

I've removed some of the MSTT fonts, but I may have missed some - if there are any that are still a problem, let me know.

Not a big deal,I can ctrl+scroll to enlarge but the new site has tiny fonts.
I tend to forget to ctrl+scroll to make em' smaller for the next site.

Nice job all in all though.
