Could someone give me a list of fonts and the bbcode that works on free accounts? I'd like to change the font style on my profiles, but I cannot find any reference to them and they aren't listed in the posting boxes on here like they usually are on forum sites. I'd be grateful. Thanks!
Fonts are integrated into the CSS, which can only be used with the epic accounts.
Buuut there is a way with bbcode where you can change the font family at least, I do believe.
I'm not 100% sure what all the font families are that the code would support or even what the tags would be.
Maybe one of the others will know!

My vague understanding is that bbcode on rpr uses the same font list as CSS, but I don't have that list on hand and I could be wrong. I will compile the list when I have time (unless someone has a link!), And then you can play with it.

Ah, the last time I played with it (like a year ago) I couldn't figure out how to get the google fonts to work with the bbcode, only the font family wehhhh
(this is why i don't do like any sort of coding)
Yeah, my experience is only with the CSS end because I'm a pleb. Surely someone must know!
You can use the (font=blah)(/font) code! I don't know what all fonts it uses, but it changed to Cambria for me at least. So YMMV, but it probably works for the base fonts.
WELL! You have some options!
A. Websafe fonts These are fonts that will most likely work cross browsers and cross computers.
B. Windows/Mac Fonts this list is from 2008, but it's fonts that are most likely on someone's computer so they are mostly safe to use.
C. The template installed fonts. Every template have fonts added to it. This template for example: "Uncial Antiqua", "Lucida Bright" are among the fonts I find looking in the css, so they should be safe to use

All hail GreenBean!!!!
Way old topic but I wanted to put a link that I found useful for anyone who might need it.
This forum helped me back when I first joined RPR, I think the list of fonts works for this site as well as far as BBcode is concerned.
