If you mean changing the font, i don't think there is anyway to do that.

You can use Plus! tags to change the color and italic/underline/bold. There is also a special character you can put in front of your name that will make it Courier New (which I doubt is what you want.)

Other than this, you can't change the font.

Or there's weird name maker you can use.

yeah, I ment font:D But the nick name of one of my contacts has another font. I asked her how she did that, but she couldnīt remember it. I donīt remeber what font she used, it includes weird signs.

Click on start the Run and type in "charmap" and then there will be some of those wierd signs and you can copy and paste into your screen name.

That may sound stupid, but where exactly do I have to go on "start"? What page from msn do you mean?

Not a page from MSN, your start bar at the bottom.

Hello again!
Ehm, Iīve already asked how to change my nick nameīs font, but my Messenger Plus! is in german, so I donīt now, where I can find Start>Run>and so on. What exactly do I have to do to get there?

Or do you mean the space, where I type in my name? But how can I put in these weird signs or make the font bold?


RE: Changing text type of my Nick name by Chris4 on 10-01-2006 at 09:26 PM

If your Messenger Plus! language is in German and you don't speak German, you need to change it to English...

I speek German, thatīs why I donīt understand, what I have to do lol


RE: Changing text type of my Nick name by deAd on 10-02-2006 at 06:50 PM

Click the Windows Start Bar. It is not part of Messenger. It's usually located at the bottom-left of your screen unless you've moved it. Then press "Run" and type "charmap". Then press Enter.

Alternatively, press the Windows Key and then R to open the Run box. Then type "charmap" and press Enter.
