[quote user="Semper Vaporo"] <blockquote> <div><img src="/trccs/Themes/trc/images/icon-quote.gif" /> Bucyrus:</div> <div></div> How do you select font type and font size?   I want to post in verdana 10 pt.   I guess if you want a paragraph break, you have to triple space. <div style="clear:both;"></div>   </blockquote>   Look near the top of page 3 of this thread for a posting from me with one paragraph all colorful and with various font sizes and stuff... I explain how there.  Verdana is one of the fonts available in the list when I look, I have to assume it will be there for you, too.  10 pt is font size "2", which is the default size for this forum when I see it on my PC.  Is yours too small or too large?   I have to ask, why do you want to change from the standard font (and possibly size, as well)?  I guess I don't mind it if someone changes from the "usual" to emphasize some point, but I sure hope you leave it well enough alone for just regular postings.  Many folk don't like to see a multitude of font changes and sizes from one post to the next, especially if they have poor eyesight. If you think the font is too small for your eyes then you really should find a way for the normal size font to be enlarged only on your PC rather than making only your words appear HUGE for everybody.  There are features of various browsers and Winders itself to do that and there are add-ons for browsers and operating systems that will increase the size of ALL text on the screen for those with poor eyesight (or tiny monitors!). <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote]     I have a one-line tool bar above my message compostion box.  It does not have any buttons to select font type or font size.    Regarding font type preference:  My preference for font control has nothing to do with using a bunch of wired fonts just to be different.  And I don't need any special font type or size for my own benefit.    However, I have found that the easiest font to read on a monitor is verdana 10 pt.  I believe this applies to everybody, whether they realize it or not (and whether they agree or not).  So, in the interest of communication, I prefer to use the font size and type that I know will be the most comprehended by others in visual terms.  I am referring specifically and only to reading off of a monitor.   Verdana 10 pt. is best for monitor viewing.  Unless one has a vision problem that requires something larger that 10 pt., using a size larger than 10 pt. makes it harder to read and comprehend.  12 pt. verdana is harder to read than 10 pt. for normal vision.
