Such a thing does not exist - find out its actual name.
I'm using the Advanced BBcode Box 3 extension. Don't know how to implement that.thecoalman wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 11:40 am On Windows machine the font would need to be installed to be available for all applications, some applications may have their own library of fonts that are not installed and only available to that application.
If this is for web page this is special case because you provide a URL in the CSS to the file for download so a browser/machine that does not have the font can display it. The file can be served from your site or linked to external site like Google which has font service.
https://fonts.google.com/
Googles service give you option to download or link directly to their files. Do a search for CSS web fonts.

[font=cursive][/font]
in the message, and ABBC3's action in that case is to simply reflect "whatever you specified" as a font-family property in a style directly applied to a span, e.g. <span style="font-family:cursive;"></span>
.[font=Satisfy][/font]
in ABBC3, so that CSS ends up with "font-family:Satisfy".I'd consider hosting that resource myself so users of my board wouldn't be exposed to Google tracking referers.

section, same as if you were trying to include any other new style sheet:Code: Select all
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Satisfy&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

The bottom line is, as you have been told, either you have to add the font to your board or the user has to have it installed and the only way that you can guarantee that is to install it on your board.John connor wrote: ↑Sun Jul 14, 2019 6:33 am The fonts I have are already there to use through a BBcode so I would just like the cursive font that's available to the user to render.
