Font Changes

"I've seen it done before and I was just wondering what the HTML coding is for changing the font of basic text like that of Myspace and text used here. I wanted to also know the text fonts available through this coding if you wouldn't mind, but just the basic coding will suffice, if it's possible that is."

re: Font Changes

code

<font face="NAME OF THE FONT">YOUR TEXT</font>

I would recomend you to do it with CSS, though:

code

<font style="font-family:NAME OF THE FONT;">YOUR TEXT</font>

re: Font Changes

It won't work in your posts, no. But it works in your NeoHome fine.

re: Font Changes

As Will said it won't work on your posts but it will in your NeoHome. One thing I would point out though is that Aftershock isn't a particularly common font so it is a good idea to have backup fonts, e.g.

code

<style type="text/css">
body {
font-family: Aftershock, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
}
</style>
<p>TEXT HERE</p>

If you don't it will use a crappy standard font like Times New Roman on computers which don't have the Aftershock font.

re: Font Changes

"Would a font such as Lucida Blackletter be common enough to work?"

re: Font Changes

It's common-ish, but for starters it looks highly poor on a web page, and secondly you want to stick to fonts which virtually everyone has, so your CSS could be:

code

body {
font-family: Aftershock, Lucida Blackletter, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
}

I always make sure to include two highly common fonts such as Verdana and Arial because that way everyone has at least one of the fonts from the family, and even if it looks nothing like Lucida Blackletter it's better than getting crappy Times new Roman. On web pages you're best to use normal fonts unless you make it out of images.

re: Font Changes

Ok, i am starting to work on my neohome a little, but the first thing i want to do is to just play with the fonts. I used the following code, but it didn't work. Where did i mess up in the code.

code

<style type="text">
body {
font-family: Old English Text MT, Algerian, Georgia;
}
</style>

re: Font Changes

Yeah. Otherwise it won't work.

Edit 1: Just say your edit. Maybe using other fonts will work? Or try to add quotation mark in the font names.

re: Font Changes

How about if you give me the code whole you are using? I think I may be able to help that way.

re: Font Changes

That is the whole code I have. Besides that, the only thing I have in my neohome is the Neo Position thing.
