I think there should be a way to install additional fonts into IPB for making posts without manually editing the code. I know there's already a big list built in, but it would be a nice feature.

Would be hard to add this feature, how would the code know what to display, if its not a array thats a specfic size. There has to be a "default" for people who don't want to add fonts to their board.

I am not familar with how PHP handles arrays, to my knowlege you have to define the size of an array in PHP much like you have to do it in C. There are of course ways to "increase" the size of a specfic size array, but the code required to do this isn't simple.

bbcode editor?

[fontname][/fontname]

<span style="font:fontname">
(I don't change fonts using CSS that much, but it's something like that...

I... don't see an edit...

Also you can change all of the fonts on your forum by doing this in the css code:

p{fontproperties here}
span{fontproperties here}
input{fontproperties here}
td{fontproperties here}

That should cover it (just a guess)

I agree, +1 for this idea, a font manager with the ability to add/delete fonts freely would be awesome.

I agree too. Being able to add fonts would be superb (perhaps ips could add more as default anyway).

Oh you mean fonts in the font pulldown, not the forum layout >< oops my bad.


Anyway, I think they just limit it to the standard fonts on the web that all OSes have.

Remember though that users cannot see fonts unless they're installed on the computer they're using.

Therefore, I'd assume most of the widely supported fonts are already on the list.

No, unlike C a PHP array does not have to be defined. You can define it, but after you do you can still add to it. PHP is very flexible.

Would be a good feature. Add customization even further to your forum.
