hello again!

i wish to post a phrase into the coding of my board. i have this

<center>
<font color = fuchsia><font size = 2>Post like a twat and you will get Wilsoned by Hairy Hogg the Wilson Catcher</font></center>

which works but however i wish to change the font face to comic sans. i thought it was <font = comic sans>

but that dont seem to work. it ight be an ezboard thing but if they allow html for font size etc then surely they allow it for font types.

Try <FONT FACE="COMIC SANS" SIZE="+2">

Please note, it's "MS Comic Sans" and it only works on Windows Platforms where the font has been previously installed. Other OS's may support the font, but it is highly unlike as it's considered quite a 'childish' font by a lot of people for some reason.

It's Comic Sans MS on my computer.

So do it with style:

<div style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS", fantasy; color: Fuchsia; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">Post like a twat and you will get Wilsoned by Hairy Hogg the Wilson Catcher</div>


Will do the same thing that you request, and downgrades better if it's not supported by someones computer. Especially the Comic Sans MS part, as the line is also asking for any fantasy type font from their computer.

Heh, I was actually typing it up from a machine where I didn't have it, so I wasn't sure whether the MS was before or after, but just trying to highlight the name MUST be correct (even though mine obviously wasn't!)
