O.P. [Request] clone font on msn just like msndiscovery, Possible?
Hi I've seen some of my contacts using messengerdiscovery and it has a Imitate function as Imitates the font as well so is it possible that scripts can imitate the font and fontcolor? I really want this function cos msn discovery is not working on the latest msn.

Thanks

Can scripts alter fonts?
Can you modify your font via scripts? Not just inserting color codes, but changing the actual font, style, size, weight? I can't find any objects or methods that would let me do that in the MP!L documentation, nor in the JScript API, so I figured I'd ask the experienced types who hang around here.

In short: no.

There are some scripts which do it (at least: they attempt to do it), but none work 100%. The reason is that in order to imitate the font, you need to tamper with the internal protocol messages which are send to your contacts. In order to do this you need to create a proxy between Messenger and the internet. All the scripts which do such a thing have some bugs in them and/or don't work in every situation. There is no script (as of yet) which has a proxy and which works 100% correct.

Thus, there is no 'Imitate' script which works 100%, although you probably will find such a script in the official scripting database.

The reason why MessengerDiscovery is able to do it (although it isn't 100% working either) is because it works in a completely different way (less safe way btw) than Messenger Plus!.
