[color=green]I hadn't found a good fully-comprehensive list of BBCode fonts, so why not make one? Other people can use and contribute to this too, please. Some information on fonts and how they work on computers: [quote=Twilightflower]As far as I am aware, the rule of thumb is that any font you have installed on your computer will show up for you in code. If you don't have it installed, it should default to something like Times New Roman, a neutral font that most everyone should have. In the case of cursive, I'm not sure that's a real font. It's a default name used in some codes, but I don't think BBCode is one of them, so it would default to something else (Comic Sans in this case). If you download and install a new font and apply it to a dragon bio or the like in an existing internet page, the font won't display for you. You have to open a completely new window before the new font will display for you. It will work, but your browser needs to close and reopen to be able to recognize the new material. To check which fonts you have, you can go directly to your computer's font folder, or you can open a word processing program like Word and scroll through the fonts in there. To find new fonts to donwload and install, I recommend dafont.com, which has a ton of free fonts to choose from.[/quote] [color=green]Fonts are blown up to size 7* to better display their individual characteristics.* You can use this site for text colours http://www.color-hex.com/ or check out this forum thread for font color help [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/2498653]BBcode Font Color Picker Guide[/url] 7 is the "maximum" font size, but you can nest size tags to make font even bigger, e.g. [size=7][size=7]here[/size][/size][/color] [code][size=7][size=7]here[/size][/size][/code] [/color][size=7] [font=Agency FB]Agency FB[/font] [FONT=Arial]Arial[/FONT] [FONT=Arial Black]Arial Black[/FONT] [FONT=Arial Narrow]Arial Narrow[/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua]Book Antiqua[/FONT] [font=Calibri]Calibri[/font] [font=cambria]Cambria[/font] [font=Candara]Candara[/font] [font=Century]Century[/font] [FONT=Century Gothic]Century Gothic[/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS]Comic Sans MS[/FONT] [FONT=Consolas]Consolas[/font] [FONT=Constantia]Constantia[/font] [font=Copperplate]Copperplate[/font] [font=Corbel]Corbel[/font] [FONT=Courier New]Courier New[/FONT] [font=Curlz MT]Curlz MT[/font] [font=Cursive]Cursive[/font] [font=Engravers MT]Engravers MT[/font] [font=Fantasy]Fantasy[/font] [FONT=Fixedsys]Fixedsys[/FONT] [FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]Franklin Gothic Medium[/FONT] [font=Gabriola]Gabriola[/font] [FONT=Garamond]Garamond[/FONT] [font=Garton]Garton[/font] [FONT=Georgia]Georgia[/FONT] [font=Herculanum]Herculanum[/font] [FONT=Impact]Impact[/FONT] [FONT=Lucida Console]Lucida Console[/FONT] [FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode]Lucida Sans Unicode[/FONT] [FONT=Microsoft Sans Serif]Microsoft Sans Serif[/FONT] [font=Mistral]Mistral[/font] [font=Monospace]Monospace[/font] [font=Monotype Corsiva]Monotype Corsiva[/font] [font=ocr a std]OCR A STD[/font] [font=Optima]Optima[/font] [FONT=Palatino Linotype]Palatino Linotype[/FONT] [font=Papyrus]Papyrus[/font] [font=Showcard Gothic]Showcard Gothic[/font] [font=sylfaen]Sylfaen[/font] [font=Symbol]Symbol[/font] [FONT=System]System[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma]Tahoma[/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman]Times New Roman[/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS]Trebuchet MS[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]Verdana[/FONT] [font=vivaldi]Vivaldi[/font] [font=Webdings]Webdings[/font] [font=Wingdings]Wingdings[/font] [font=Wingdings 2]Wingdings 2[/font] [font=Wingdings 3]Wingdings 3[/font]

@Deeproar Anything works! Though if the name of the font is given, the code doesn't need to be.

Thanks!

@Rhea

@Kyrati I think what fonts you can see depends on your computer(? idk computer stuff) so sometimes different fonts will appear the same, if your computer doesn't have one or the other.

@Rhea As far as I am aware, the rule of thumb is that any font you have installed on your computer will show up for you in code. If you don't have it installed, it should default to something like Times New Roman, a neutral font that most everyone should have. In the case of cursive, I'm not sure that's a real font.

Also, just something I've noticed today while playing around with fonts:

If you download and install a new font and apply it to a dragon bio or the like in an existing internet page, the font won't display for you. You have to open a completely new window before the new font will display for you. It will work, but your browser needs to close and reopen to be able to recognize the new material.

Just posting so I could remember this c:

Cursive shows up as a nice, understated serif font on my computer:

I don't know, it may well be something that works on Mac vs Windows? I also have probably thousands of fonts installed (but "Cursive" isn't one of them), so there's that, I guess.

Great idea bringing this together, Rhea!
