Font suggestions to IPB3

[sychn]

In IPB2, the fonts names are all western character fonts and they were mainly defined in the Stylesheet (CSS Advanced Mode). Also when the members post and select the font, the font list can not be customized by the administrators easily.

I suggest the administrators can define the fonts easily in IPB3.

I have made a MOD that member can choose default post font family and size from "My Controls", So he can use his favorite font when view posts.

Hope v3 can add this feature.

It would be nice to have a feature to change fonts and upload fonts to be used as well so a better font feature would be amazing. :)

In order for people to display those new fonts you've installed, though, they have to also have that font installed on their computers. That's why the list of current available fonts is what it is, those are the fonts that most computers already have installed.

Or IPB will create each post as an image with the given font :P (Actually it would be nice to be able to right click and save post as an image :rolleyes:)

Well, the post could be stored in the database and the image of the post could be cached. Senseless but cool

It's really too bad that the @font-face property was ignored by browser developers. It was outlined the the CSS 2.0 specifications, and later removed in CSS 2.1. However, it's now back in the CSS 3.0 specifications. I believe the reason behind it has to do with copyrighted fonts... Man I really hate that crap. I mean I can understand from the authors point of view, but this sort of stuff over complicates things more than it has to be.

Essentially you could load a font temporarily off a web server like this:

@font-face {

font-family: "My Font";

src: url("folder/myfont.ttf");

}

.my_thing {

font-family: "My Font";

}

As far as I know only Safari fully supports this. IE only supports a special type of font, which can be converted from TTF using a special tool (only works for IE). And as far as I can tell, there is zero support in Mozilla, or at least I couldn't get it to work in FireFox 3.0.

If possible I think this could be a good feature, but it could cause issues, I for one limit signature height with overflow and max-height, since fonts vary in size this can cause issues for others who limit sig size with CSS.
