Reply #33: Update: You can actually do super-secret font if you leave the box checked and use an odd font tag.

[Leopolds Ghost]

If you go to Preferences, use a different default Browser Font,

but leave the box checked where it says "allow the site (DU) to override user fonts."

And then type a message with (font face=foo)embedded in it.(/font)

The browser will print it out in the default user font, and DU will not override the default user font if the font tag typed in the message window is not one that the browser recognizes, so it will use the user font instead, but display all other text in DU's own font. e.g.

(font face=foo)Sample text(/font)

where foo is an unrecognized font.

This will have no effect on other people's view of the page... Only us super-secret font geeks...

Well, it may show up as Times instead of Helvetica.

Note that all of this goes against the wishes of HTML experts who insist on the primacy of the published text as it appears on the publisher's computer should appear the same on all users computers or else it is a violation of the webmaster's (i.e. corporation's) artistic vision! Hence, add-ons such as Greasemonkey publish scripts that allow you to color between the lines of corporate websites as they display on your browser. They get no love from corporate sitemasters!

Ooh, one other thing -- on a lot of browsers you can now choose a default font for Serif (Times), Sans Serif (Helvetica) and Monospace (Courier i.e. typewriter font)!
