    A Question of Fonts

    Hi, I'm new to writing these stories, and I have a question about fonts.
    Sometime when I'm sribling down a lurid screne I have trouble keeping a straight face, and I'd love to have some melodramatic fun with a chapter heading. I'd love to have a heading using this red, dripping blood font called Count Dracula. I think it would be hysterical.
    Does anybody know if this can be done? Does the reader have to have the font installed on his computer? Is there a way to store it as a bit map, and paste it on a page? Does any one have any ideas? Or must I shuffle away, head bowed in disappointment.
    Thanks for your help. TG (thomas_g50)

    Thomas,
    Hope someone can help you. What i know about computers and their abilities can be written in old english script with a magic marker on the back of a postage stamp.

    Up in the top part of the forums there is a tech section.

    Thomas, custom fonts such as the one you mention have to be installed on the readers' computer in order to be seen. If they're not installed, generally they'll default to Times Roman, Ariel or Verdana. It's my understanding that custom fonts have become a way by which viruses and worms are now routinely spread and so people (me, at least) refuse to install them.

    There are two ways you could get around this.

    The message boards here operate using HTML so, if you're posting a story into a message in the forums here, you could save your title as an image file and then embed a link to it. You'd need to have your image file stored somewhere online so you have a web URL to embed.

    The other way is to save your document file as a PDF. There are free applications that do this -- they operate like virtual printers to create PDF files from Windows Word documents. Doing this will save your file with all your font formatting as well as any images you include. You then upload your story as a pdf attachment with your post.

    Hope that helps,

    Aye, do the PDF thing for the best effect.
    Back!
    With your fiendish books of gods
    With suffering self-righteous pain
    Back!
    With Hell-fire and vicious rods
    With repressed passion gone insane
    Back!
    I won't lose my soul, too.
