Cantr II Discussion Forum

I noticed that some of my notes using the Rage Italic font were changed to a default font. Is this a problem with my browser, or does Cantr no longer support that particular font?

If the latter is true, what fonts does Cantr support?

This is problem of your system probably. Cantr does not limit users in that matter. Maybe your font is gone. Open Wordpad and try to type something in that font - if it is gone, it is not available for any application.

Please notice that using fancy fonts is not recommended - only those players who have such font installed on their systems would be able to see the effect. Otherwise the browser would choose the closes available font.

Which browser are you using?

Most browsers are only set-up to display a handful of fonts, arial and the like, or just a serif, a sans serif, a monotype and maybe some others.

You may find that to get your 'rage italic' font to appear, you'll have to change the font settings for your browser.

But I very much doubt that anyone else reading the note will see it in that font...

You could always save it as a jpeg and attach it to a note, you can use whatever font you like then.

Ah, I see now. I had to reinstall Windows and I lost most of my fonts... I always assumed they were part of a basic font package, but I guess not. Thanks for pointing that out.

And thanks for the JPEG solution, Phalynx. I'll get on that.

'basic fonts' don't really exist

Windows has some common fonts - arial, times, MS serif, courier.
But linux/unix variants do not have these.
The best bet, ads phalynx says, is to use a image - otheriwse be any fancy formatting or layout is very likely to change with people who have other fonts, OS, resolutions, browsers, etc etc.....
