Custom fonts in msn messenger? by Shadows_death69 on 10-18-2004 at 10:19 PM

I recently installed a couple new fonts of my choice. While using them in msn messenger they came up fine for me, but my friends said it changed back to microsoft sans. Is there anyway to come up with a program to change this? Could this be a setting on my friends computer?

Your friends will need the font on their computer as well in order to see it. If they don't have it, they will see a font they do have, and which one depends on their system settings. It's most likely MS Sans Serif.

Ask your friends to install the font too if you wish them to be able to see it.

Thanks Tochjo, I was thinking of making a custom font installer, it'd install various cool fonts for you. Think anyone would go for it?

Sure, as long as you don't bundle it with spyware/adware/sponsors/malware/hijackers/etc.

Lol I won't of course not, I'm the kind of one that envies that stuff, plus if I did i'd be sure to include an option to install or not and special removal instructions.

Envies??? You mean hates? Dispises? Something to that effect?

Anyways, people don't always read, so you might want to put it in BIG BRIGHT LETTERS.
