SUGGESTION: Font Stealer by TwilightParadox on 03-12-2008 at 05:03 AM
I like the whole identity theft thing with those dp nick and PSM stealers but it needs something for font! That way i could type in /stealall and id have everything, im just starting msn scripting so if nobody finds a way to ill eventually learn myself

As far as I know (which is not alot) it can't be done through a script because of the IM protocols. There is another program that might help you called Msg Discovery Live however I have not used it in a long time so I don't know if
- The feature is still there and
- how well it works

It all comes down to the fact that in order to see what font the contact is using you need a so called 'packet sniffer'. Such a thing monitors the actual protocol messages which are send and recieved from Messenger. It is in these network messages that you can see what the font face name is, the color and styke which your contact is using.
But there are a few problems:
1) Your contact can be using a font which you don't have. So even if you could get the name of the font, you wont be able to have the exact same font.
2) There is no bug-free sniffer available to be used with Plus! scripting. The one which is sometimes used these days (for stuff like this) is called Xniff, made by Pai. But this has some very serious and critical bugs and doesn't work 100%. (again, see/use the forum search)
3) Its annoying to your contacts to mimic them

is there a way to make it automatically change to it when a font is message is received in that font?

Please read my previous post. It basically explains it is very difficult, if not impossible, with current scripting to do this because of various reasons. Also see the list of threads I posted.

if you can convince alex (creator of iTunes+ Script) to come back and/or work on his copycat script it could detect font, colour and any formatting applied to it from messenger (not MP!L colours and formatting)
But serious developers don't respect these copycat programs, so I don't see why he'd want to work on it again, I think he just wanted to see if it could be done.
