    First off, this is just me playing around, because that's the title of this thread! (And we have Demitria's great sense of humour for that play on words) Ok, on with the frolicking..

    My favorite font, good old Comic Sans.
    And this is how it looks in coding:
    <font face="Comic Sans MS" size="3" color="#006633">Your Text</font>

    This is my other oft' used font, Verdana.
    And this is how it looks in coding:
    <font face="Verdana" size="3" color="#993366">Your Text</font>

    A commonly used font here, the egypt lovers Papyrus!
    And this is how it looks in coding:
    <font face="Papyrus" size="5" color="#F5B800">Your Text</font>

    I'd like to know how this one looks here, and how many of you can view it too, it's Lucida Handwriting.
    And this is how it looks in coding:
    <font face="Lucida Handwriting" size="4" color="#3366FF">Your Text</font>

    This one usually looks nice, but is faded and difficult to read to some browsers/screen resolutions.. it's Bradley Hand ITC.
    And this is how it looks in coding:
    <font face="Bradley Hand ITC" size="5" color="#66CCFF">Your Text</font>

    This is Georgia Ref, one I've used often for use in tutorials on the net because of it's easy appearance and usability (many pc's currently are capable of viewing it)
    And this is how it looks in coding:
    <font face="Georgia Ref" size="3" color="#AFCAAF">your text</font>

    This one I'm also testing to see how many of you can view it, if you can let me know.. it's Kunstler Script.
    And this is how it looks in coding:
    <font face="Kunstler Script" size="7" color="#CC0000">Your text</font>

    This is Blackadder ITC, and should (hopefully) be viewable to most, though it is a rarely used one on the web right now. Tell me what you think!
    And this is how it looks in coding:
    <font face="Blackadder ITC" size="6" color="#CC99FF"> your text </font>

    In fact, any that you really like or really hate, let me know. I love this thread! Post some of your font frolics here too, let us learn some new ones with you! Just remember, that most of the ones you can download from the various free sources for them are NOT viewable to us. Only the ones your pc came with are likely to be viewable, and even then only about 60-80%. Also, you have to spell the font name exactly as it appears in your fonts list (in folder path: c/windows/fonts)
