[Request] Font and text direction by sock on 06-27-2006 at 11:27 AM

Hi. (:

I thought of some useful things to do with scripts, but apparently they can't be done currently, so here I am. :P
(I'm not a script developer myself, I just nag dt to do them for me. :<)



My first request is an ability to set my font for a specific message being sent (in the OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage thingie).

Application: I currently use Tahoma as my font and I would like something like a /mono command that will send a message in a monospace font like Courier New, so code I'm sending will be easier to read (yet my normal messages will be in my normal nice-looking font).
Another use for /mono is ASCII art that requires monospace fonts.



Another thing that concerns me personally is the message direction: LTR (left-to-right) vs. RTL (right-to-left). Here there are two things that could be *very* useful to me and other RTL users:

1. Sent messages: An ability to see whether a message I'm about to send (ie. in OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage) is sent as LTR or RTL (this seems to be technically similar to my font request above).

2. Received messages: Same as above (LTR/RTL detection), but what would make it *REALLY* perfect is an ability to display the message as RTL even when it was originally sent as LTR. :$



Oh, and an ability to see whether a contact is connected via Web Messenger would also be very helpful. (&)


Okay, that is all. :<
