Ok I recently upgraded to epic and in due process of editing one of my characters profiles, I am unsure on how to change font styles. I tried using a text generator to make some fancy texts, but it doesn't align up properly with standard text as I have to load the texts I generate as images. I want to make some fancy rainbow stuff and unsure how to accomplish this.
I can't quite make out what you're trying to do, but we have a fancy CSS guide right here that explains quite a few things, including how to change the font (See 'Common CSS styles' > '6. Font-family').
Are you trying to change plain text, like what I'm typing right here, by applying a different font? If so, what font are you trying to use?
What is this text generator you're using and what are you trying to accomplish with it?
Or are you trying to get text on an image to be shown in a different font?
If you can be a bit more specific I'm sure we can get this figured out!

Basically I was attempting to figure out how to change the font family for the template. Which I now know has to be done under the CSS format. Another thing I was never very savvy with. I've been attempting to tinker with the template since last night inside CSS, yet I can't seem to locate the images for the Prismatic Arcana. So not only have I confused myself in that aspect, I am not sure how to change the font colors and style within the CSS context of the template.
As for my text generator source, I've been using www.flamingtext.com . Anything I generate and save via image loads just fine if I save it as an image. It just doesn't line up with the bullet list description for my character very well.
Basically what I am trying to do is make some fancy text for the stats for my character info. Such as petty scrawl for the word, name, then standard default text for the characters name. It just doesn't align well.
I think I am pretty confused on both accounts. If I was pretty diverse with CSS I'd probably not be stuck like I am. P:

I can help, I think!
For official templates, images for a template are stored in the same location as the stylesheet. So, since you already located the stylesheet at http://www.rprepository.com/templates/prismarcana/prismmagic2.3.css, you can know that the images will be in http://www.rprepository.com/templates/prismarcana/ . So, you'll need to update all references to images with the path to find them, like so:
background: url(downrightside.png)
becomes
background: url(http://www.rprepository.com/templates/prismarcana/downrightside.png)
Bullet lists are indented, so not much will align with them but other lists. However, a link to the in-progress character would be massively helpful.

With Sanne's help, I have figured out the URL bit to locate the images when editing the template in the CSS. So I believe I am set there.
As for my issue with custom text and bullet lists, I will show an in progress image when I get home from work. Unfortunately I have to run out of here shortly and lack the time to compile anything.
But thanks for the aid in what I've been able to figure out thus far.
