[REJECTED] Suggestion: New fonts!

You may or have may not seen my thread about making the forums a better place, (here it is just in case http://www.minerealm.com/community/view ... f=7&t=9562). What I am suggesting is a complete change of the fonts. Maybe a font that looks 'new', sine I believe that the fonts currently used are outdated. I am not good with font names (Is this Arial Unicode MS?), however I am very good with detail. Let's take google's font for example, it is very similar to this, but what makes it different is that the spacing between each letter is slightly larger, and each letter is stretched slightly more. One in particular that I like is Helvetica Neue. I like this one a lot. Maybe another way to make texts more appealing is to enlarge it slightly. Post below what you think, or other font suggestions. ::)

Yes, I admit, it is a very ambitious idea.

Or Cooper Black.

We should add multi font support and paragraph formatting.

I like the current font.

If you have a problem with how a large amount of posts look, then I would suggest that you post a suggestion making writing posts with poor spelling and no grammar illegal - I understand that English isn't the first language for some people, however if people make an effort and proof read their posts, or even copypasta their posts into MS Word then this could seriously help the overall quality of their posts, and would stop any abuse that they receive about the way they write.

Examples of people who could benefit from this...
- MrKeveCool
- Hairykid980
- Onemanwolfpack
- Cockroach

This is not designed to embarrass people, but this could seriously help people to post better and receive less abuse.

Well, you did just fail to quote something.
Edit: Even with a quote autocorrect on the forum.

My elementary school teachers ALWAYS used comic sans for anything custom they made for us. I suppose it's easier to read than times new roman which I believe is the default for MS word. But even after elementary school, some students used comic sans for typed assignments.

<--This guy had a professor for a college biochemistry course who used comic sans for the course's powerpoints.
