Layout Font Limitations - Announcements

In our quest for legible posts, we are now placing a limitation on what fonts you are allowed to use in your layout. The list of allowed fonts will probably never be complete, because we will always be adding new fonts to it.

As of now, you will have to inquire about using a font that is not on the list. If we find it acceptable, it will be added. Users may also request having fonts removed from the list if they find a situation where the font in question is hard to read. You may use this thread for inquiries.

Furthermore, please always specify the generic font family sans-serif as the last entry in your font list to ensure that your text is legible on systems that do not have the preferred font available. Please refer to the Wikipedia article for information on the use of the font-family CSS property.

All monospaced fonts, such as Courier New, are disallowed.

Note that these are not limitations on what fonts you can use in your individual posts.

List of allowed generic fonts:

Times New Roman
Arial
Helvetica
Comic Sans
Calibri
Verdana
Georgia

List of allowed fonts:

Tahoma
Candara
Helvetica Neue
Lucida Sans
Trebuchet MS
Comic Sans MS
Century Gothic
Franklin Gothic Book
Century Schoolbook

ah. luckily i use one thats on the list.
actually, the text below the logo scared me O.o

I might put some sort of signature here once. I guess.

But why to change font? Just don't type any font, and it would be OK.

Some fonts make the posts harder to read.

I'm using default font... if you cannot read my font, this means you cannot also read posts of people without layouts. Maybe whole font-family CSS tag should be disallowed.

Frotunately, I'm using the default font...

You won't have any layout, except for footer. This is for those which have real layout.

Whew, that was a close one. Luckily I use Tahoma, which is indeed on the list.

Obviously there's no problem if you're using the default font. It's if you're using a different font in your layout.

I think Comic Sans MS should be disallowed. In long posts it's trouble during reading.

To more testly I included layout with Comic Sans MS.

Oops... Comic Sans MS is disallowed, Comic Sans is allowed. But Comic Sans isn't real font. This font is "Comic Sans MS".

Don't even try.

What about Trebuchet MS? I'm not planning on using it, I'm just saying it could be added to the list.

This font is called Candara and I've been using it for probably a year without complaints, though I think it only shows up on Vista and later systems. I've added the sans-serif to my font-family as well.

If you have Office 2007. I have... Windows PE 3.0, and I don't have even Comic Sans!

It was either Vista or Office 2007 I wasn't sure. Regardless, it doesn't work on all computers.

What are monospace fonts?

Hmm... I suppose I should ask for my font to be added to the "allowed" list.

Anyways, I use Helvetica Neue, and I've received no complaints about the font itself. Adding it to the list would be appreciated as I rather like it and I suck at picking good ones.
