The question is meaningless. (Sorry, but there's no gentle way to say that Cheesy )

A web page can display in any font that the READER's computer has installed. The board itself does not "carry" any fonts of its own, it just tells the reader's computer which of its own fonts it should to use to display the message. If the reader's computer doesn't have the font you specify, the display will default to something ordinary (probably Verdana or Arial).

To see what I mean, pick the most obscure font you have on your computer and use that for your message and you will find that it displays perfectly -- for YOU. The catch is that it will only display that way for other people who also have that font installed on their own computer. Everyone else will see Verdana or Arial.

I hope that made sense  Undecided

Whereas I see Tahoma, Arial, and a Gothic face (copperplate?) because I have more fonts installed than John (but not as many as Andy)  Cool

It is odd though, that I use Tahoma and other fonts in documents on my PC but I'm not seeing them here.

When I first set up the R2OK website I used the Mistral AV font to closely mimic the logo in normal text, it's a a sort of graffiti style font, but was most disappointed to find friends' and work computer saw only Arial  Sad

I'll try it here:

R2OK

Yes I can see it there.
