Custom Font (suggestion) by .blade// on 07-03-2004 at 10:11 PM

Well here it is, plain and simple: I suggest a custom font and font colour option for contacts, because sometimes it's such a pain in the a$$ to read what they right with (for example) their gothic handwritting or their font with the same colour as your background, so why not have custom contact fonts, just like their names (if possible) :banana:

"Override text format"? :dodgy:

Where is it located?


Edit: Found it, but that's for everyone....I don't want that, I like to let my contacts use their own font, just like 4 or 5 of them have fonts/font colours I hate...

Ya, I found it but like I said, "Found it, but that's for everyone....I don't want that, I like to let my contacts use their own font, just like 4 or 5 of them have fonts/font colours I hate... "

I mean I don't want to override ALL of their fonts, just like I don't want to auto-accept EVERYTHING...:dodgy::mipdodgy:

Anyway, any other way of customizing contacts' fonts sound dodgy and unnecessary to me, since you would use that with one or two contacts (if with any). Format overriding is enough.

Well, now that it's cleared you mods might close this thread if you want :).
