I just noticed on redeemed_lizzi's intro thread that she used a different font color and such... is there any way to set a default font? Having different fonts would be cool, but making them every time you post isn't...

It appears to me as if she must be setting it each time. I checked the user CP (I know you don't usually go there) and there didn't appear to be any option for this. I could be wrong, but it doesn't happen that often. I'm rather unaccustomed to it.

Thank goodness there's no way of setting it - it might encourage the practice! :aaaah:

What's wrong with using cool looking fonts? You could then tell at a glance who is writing what...

I dunno, I think that it get on my nerves. All the different and weird fonts and colors that people would use.

It's distacting from the point of the words. Unless the author uses the font as a means to help convey his/her message. (like you did)

Well, current default font is easy to read... I like the fact that we can change the font and color but I am not sure if everyone should select their own font.

In particular, one should avoid font that are too small or too big or not very readable particulary if they write relatively long text.

Also, we have to remember that not eveyone will have the same font on their system and in those case, the text might not look as good as intended.
