Buffistas

Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Up with the sun

LJ, by font/font size do you mean font and font size or font or font size?

I meant both, but I don't know programming. It wasn't meant as an expansion on the current request, though.

For font size -- manual entry of font size? Directives such as "smaller," "much smaller"?

I think "very small", "small," average," etc., is probably easiest. In my possibly non-representative experience, the numeric point size needed for comfortable reading can vary from font to font and program to program, and percentages can be frustrating.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Any objections to dropping the general style sheet request, and adding a font-change request?

That'd rock.

I love Jesse's suggestion.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How are these for 4 font choices:

Times, Times New Roman, serif
Arial, Helvetic, sans-serif
Courier, Courier New, monospaced
user entered (caveat entor)

And for sizes -- one point difference between S/M/L/XL? Or two?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Two point differences.

Medium as the current size?

That's what I was thinking, DX.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

How are these for 4 font choices:

Verdana should still be a choice.

Verdana should still be a choice.

Sorry -- "no change" is implicit.

In my head. I wasn't thinking loudly enough for my fingers to hear.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You know, I'm sorry but if I can't get the board with XXL purple Comic Sans text on a pink background, I'm going to have to quit buffistas.

You people never meet my needs!!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Um, but in all seriousness -- will people trying out the options be a strain on our resources at all? I can imagine I'm not the only one who will be interested to see what each choice looks like, at the beginning.
