Font/Script Size Questions
« on: April 10, 2013, 01:38:17 AM »
On CE/A, I saw a bday wish  [easter_kiss] Midnite had posted.
Wanting to know how she did it, I clicked on 'quote'.
There was something like script=whatever, size=54 (these are not exact and, again, I cannot remember how to copy/paste on here).
I thought the 'max' size was 8. Also, even though the text she printed did not state it, there was something like DSForum'something' (underneath the visible bday greeting)....
Can you give me some details AND show me where the various choices of script(s)/fonts are?
Thanks,
Patti

My apologies-- you did mention not knowing in one of the discussion topics, but it's good you brought it up on Testing.  On DS Forums and any sites with disabled right-clicking, you need to use keyboard shortcuts for Windows:

Cut  Ctrl+X
Copy  Ctrl+C
Paste  Ctrl+V

Patti, if you don't mind reading through this Testing thread, your question was answered in the topic:
Okay...why no sizes above 8 pt?

Anything surrounded by [img] tags is an image; the one in the birthday post just happens to be stored on DSF space.  There's an image button above the response window (currently over the winking bunny) and there are Bulletin board code pages that explain the posting of images in the Forum's Help section.

Not sure why you're asking about scripts, but you can check your specific Mac or Windows font files for a list, such as Windows: Control Panel > Fonts.  It's pretty easy to safely install a font you've seen used here or elsewhere that's not on your list.

Hope this helped!
