Fonts supported?

Is there anywhere I can find a list of the fonts supported by the "[font=??]" code tag?

I've been playing with my signature & would like to experiment with different fonts, but just typing at random & then checking to see if it changed is getting old.

Thanks,

Kevin

Who is Chris Mac Murtrie, - -

- - Ian?

Given the sentiments and the sound and similarity of the surname, I would almost venture a guess that there's some familial connection.

ahenry - On my computer, the only fonts that look any different are: Arial Black, Comic Sans MS, Georgia, Impact, Trebuchet MS, and Script MS Bold.

All the others just look like the standard Verdana font.

It may have to do with the fonts I have installed on my computer, or the version of Internet Exploder I am using.

I dunno. To me Exocet, and News Gothic look the same, but I looked at them in Word and they looked the same there too. Since I found these as UBB supportable fonts I assumed I just wasn't good a noticing the difference. On your list of similar looking fonts I can tell a differnece between Book Antiqua, Tohoma, Stencil (an obvious bolded font), and Lucida Console. Maybe you do have to have those fonts installed. As easy check would be to check in Word to see if you have those fonts.

I was hoping you would chime in here, Hermit.

I was thinking of your sig-line when this thread first came up.

Thanks for the info!

The font support is just a standard font tag, it will support any font you want to put in there. BUT, it has to be installed on your computer to view it. So, just because you can see it doesn't mean everyone else will be able too.

Johnny, Chris would be my somewhat more pragmatic younger brother.
