Define Cynical Fan Forums

Ok, I have discovered a lot of fun stuff you can do with the computer if you have the right programs. One of those things? Userbars. Some of you may know of them, and those that do know I don't use the correct font, and that's because I have no program that has the ability to use the font. But enough of that, Here's My first one, and the reason I made this topic:



EDIT: Made a second one based off of another Comic



EDIT NUMERO DOS: *Snooooorrreee..... SNoooorrrreeee...*
Translation: Made a third, one to represent myself, and now please excuse me as I pass out in my chair from lack of sleep

Not bad, but the font doesn't really match. You should download the 'visitor' bitmap font from somewhere. It's free, and it's the same font that all the other userbars use.

The most common font is the one I use in my avatar.

Love the Riku one.

Like I said, I don't hava a program that recognizes the correct font. I dounloaded the Visitor TT2 Font but I don't have a program that'll use it!

Saomhow, I knew you would

Got the Idea for this one when My Music Player rolled over "One Winged Angel"

Did you try INSTALLING the font? Drop it in \Windows\Fonts.

You have to actually go to the fonts folder and let it read all the fonts as well. Otherwise windows won't realise the font is installed. I found that out after hunting for 10 minutes for an installed font that wouldn't work.

Now you guys are just confusing me

Another Bar, this one based of another comic quite a number of you have probably heard of.

I don't have to do that... do you use XP? Although I have a difficult time imagining such a bug in pre-XP Windows...

When you drop a font into the Fonts folder, Windows picks up on it right away... it's not a standard copy/move operation, dropping it onto Fonts launches that "Font Install Dialog" thingy. So Windows KNOWS you just added a new font.

At any rate, some programs might not recognise new fonts until you restart them (or reopen a dialog or something), because they enumerate the list of installed fonts when the dialog opens, or when the program launches it caches the list until next run. Maybe this is what you ran into.

About 55-75% GOT THROUGH TO ME...(excuse caps)

I do run XP, but what I'm unsure about is...

This is what's confusing me the most right now.

That was mainly for CodeCat. I was trying to defeat him with big words. ;X

Just drop the font in Windows\Fonts. If the font doesn't show up in your app, restart it and it should.

What do you mean by DROP?!

The little down arrow by the font name, it drops down a list of fonts.

I'm going to wait for Mazzt response before I even CONSIDER yours.

It's nice to be wanted... I think O.o

I meant drop as in drag-and-drop the file from whereever you downloaded it to \windows\fonts. Click and drag with the mouse. That kind of drop.
