He means threads
I see it too

I didn’t see that until this was mentioned but yeah I do kinda see it. IMO it’s not really an issue tho

I was about to post a thread about this, but apparently I CAN use fonts on mobile.
Problem is, I can't see when someone else uses fonts.

Whilst RPing with my friends, one asked me to play one of his characters for a post.
He later commented on the fact I used the default font instead of the one I was supposed to, and this confused me.
It had always showed up as normal on my phone, and apparently I just can't see others text fonts when they use em.

Is this a bug or..?

Some fonts simply aren't installed on some phones.

When you say that you can use fonts but not see someone elses, is it the same font or a different one? Are there any fonts that you can see? Which font are you and they using?

When it comes to the internet, fonts are generally pre-installed and loaded onto Browsers by the OS - Not all phone OS versions are equal, especially Android, and may not have as wide of a selection of fonts as Windows 10 or 11.

Some fonts, usually custom ones can be displayed by the browser alone, these are called "web-fonts". If these are unable to be displayed for whatever reason (Script blockers, Security & Privacy controls, browser limitations) then there's usually a fallback font that is displayed often referred to as "web-safe"; one that is widely supported and available on most OS such as Arial or Georgia.

Outside of custom fonts, any officially licensed font will need to be installed on your OS in order for you to see it. For example if an Android phone does not have Times New Roman installed then it will display them in the system default instead, which is often Roboto (Androids font)

It's most likely that your phone simply doesn't have a wide selection of fonts, most Android OS come pre-installed with only a couple, if even. Usually they'll default to their own Font (Roboto) and allow you to purchase licenses for other fonts from the store. You should be able to find a list of what you have and where to purchase them in your phones Settings.

Courier New, Times New Roman, and Georgia.
Potentially Tahoma but I can't tell.

I can't see the rest.
The one in question is Book Antiqua, which appears as the default.

Actually, after testing, I CAN'T use most fonts.
I said that without actually looking into it, oops.

I can select them, but I still see them as normal. I assume they're normal on pc if I post em on my phone, but my phone just doesn't support them it seems.

i believe that there should be an emoji for a walking bunny. it's surprising there isn't already

We should be able to suggest multiple prefixes on the game suggestions forum, as I find that most suggestions can spread across 2-3 of them

I interpreted this as a bunny standing on two legs walking, and the animation played in my head walking all jaunty like a cartoon character walk cycle.

Wait but we also need the walking fish now
