I'm creating my own theme but using others as a point of reference.

Problem is I would kinda like to use something different than Verdana and Helvetica.
I have a number of fonts (in office suite word processors and the like) that I would like to use but I'm not sure where to put this font file in my php directories.

Where does PHP 6.9 look for its "acceptable" fonts? I see from the page source that javascript is used alot on this page (emoticons?) Is that what I need or can I just stay out of java shtuff for now and murder the php language first....
Your thoughts and patience are appreciated,

Drewfy

not sure what fonts are acceptable. it is bascially any font which a lot of people have on their systems. if you use a font which people have on their system it will work.

The font is determined using the css files in the main dir and the forum dir.

when designing a web page or theme, always make sure you use the most popular font family that every visitor can see otherwise when these visitors come to view your page, all they will see is the default font that is installed in their systems anyway
