Fonts in WFE

Postby Rhaza » Thu Jan 23, 2025 6:57 am

Is there any chance we could get some font leeway in WFEs?

It doesn't even have to be for all fonts, would it be viable to specifically enable use of the NS font? I think it would make WFE tinkering a little more creative, and using those icons would be useful I think.

Honestly I’d support this. Not all fonts, as Quebec said, as some people would be ripe to use the most garish font available in BBCode font options. The one he suggested would be a nice improvement. But a slight bit of variety could visually improve WFE aesthetics.

We can't actually (easily) discriminate against which fonts you can use should we allow fonts into WFEs at all. That said, fonts sounds like an easy QOL change. I'll knock it out here in a few (no promises on time to deploy).
