===Figured one out?===

:This one wasn't on the list. I believe part of the ketchup bottle at the very beginning of Summer Short Shorts is French Script MT. Probably not worth mentioning though; I however like taking screenshots of random things like this and implementing them on desktop backgrounds. I guess it's information though! ;-) -- {{User:Cinnabon37/sig}} 01:01, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

:I think the navbar is just Arial.  That's what I'm using in the mirror stylesheets.  See [http://hrwiki.org/mirror/jumpinjacks2.html jumpinjacks2.html] for an example.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:45, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)


:I think the Thnikkaman's chorus might be Cooper Black? --[[User:71.244.185.34|71.244.185.34]] 00:40, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:I read the new additions after adding the font Alba to the list...which was on one of the books. Anyway the sample of Alba on the book is much better than the example I'd had, so I've changed the entry accordingly. One down, a...lot to go. -- [[User:Xyzzyka|Xyzzyka]] 18:06, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:I think I've figured out the Stinko Man K 20X6 font. Playing Starcraft, one avid fan should realize that the font is Eurostar Black Extended. Am I right or am I right? -[[User:BurninatorBoombox&Markie|<font color=DC143C>MK and/or BurnBox</font>]] 00:23, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:EDIT: Okay, so I tried whatthefont.com, and I came down to these fonts:
*Microgramma EF Medium Extended
*Microgramma Medium Extend
*Aggie URW T Normal
*Microgramma D Medium Extended
*Eurostile T Regular Extended

I think the credits from Japanese Cartoon is Times or Times New Roman--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 14:57, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I am certain the font for the chalk on the computer screen is either called Eraser or DS Eraser but I don't know which one is the official name. -[[User:Jenny|Jenny]] 05:14, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

I think Bubs's banner was just using the paintbrush tool. -[[User:FaceCrap|FaceCrap]] 01:24, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
:Which Banner? {{User:Salty/sig}} 01:42, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

:Never mind. I was thinking of the 'Coach Z You Jerk' thing. Not the Happy Thanksgiving banner. Though the font looks familiar from the site... -[[User:FaceCrap|FaceCrap]] 13:37, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
::I think the font on the Cheat Commandos box is Weltron Urban. [[User:Whatever2965|Whatever2965]]

I'm pretty sure (though not positive) that the "idelectrix" part of Videlectrix is Square 721. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 23:48, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I was messing around with a flash decomplier and it said that the font for the [[Block]] is Nokia 5110 fontset, so I did a search for it to see if this correct, while it was, in the [[50K Racewalker|50K Racewalker triva section]] they all ready said this, so I'll add it to the list. {{User:Sesshoumaru Cian/sig}}

=== Weclome Back Fonts ===
Here's some fonts in [[Weclome Back]] (there might be some more, but these are only the ones that aren't on my system):
*Abadi MT Condensed Extra Bold
*Andy - ''merch masala sign''
*Arial Narrow (variation in list) - ''text on tour map''
*AvantGarde Md BT
*Bauhaus Thin (variation in list) - ''"Mzp-440" on Marzipan's speaker thing''
*Cooper Black (already in list) - ''name of toon at start''
*MotterFemD
*OCRB (already in list)
*Script MT Bold (already in list) - ''"Marzipan" on Marzipan's speaker thing''
*TypewriterRough - ''font on timecard''

I'd like to know what the font on the main symbol is, the h and r on either side of the star? --[[User:Buz|Buz]]
:It looks alot like a modified [[:Image:Bauhaus 93.png|Bauhaus]] to me. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 04:59, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
::It is actually Bauhaus 93. ~PepperMinty
:::No, it's not.  The letters do not match.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 07:52, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

==Links==
This isn't linked to from anywhere, but it's useful information that I don't think is found anywhere else on the wiki, or perhaps I'm mistaken. &mdash; {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 18:51, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

== VOY DOT LCD ==

Does anybody know where I can find this font? I've searched the internet for it for about a month now, but haven't found anything. --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 18:59, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

:I know, there's no other web site that has it. I once tried to email TBC so they could send me a copy of the font, but no reply.

:: Please try again! I too am also desprate.

:::Good news! There's a font uncannily similar to VOY DOT LCD called "Bubbledot Fine Positive." Unfortunately, I keep running into font websites where they require you to pay for fonts to download them.
::::From some research I did some months back, it appears this font was installed with Adobe Audition, Soudbooth, whatever The Brothers Chaps use (because I frankly forgot). So, I'm guessing putting it up would the font would probably be illegal if I'm right. --[[Special:Contributions/69.150.85.66|69.150.85.66]] 18:17, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

== Thousandth article ==
This is the HR Wiki's 1,000th article. Just letting everybody know.

:<s>Uh, no it's not. We already [[Talk:Game Sightings|determined]] [[Game Sightings]] was the 1,000th article. &mdash; {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 17:32, 17 May 2005 (UTC)</s>

:Wait, did a few pages get deleted somewhere? I just checked the [[Special:Newpages]] page and it looks like this really is the thousandth article. Wow! I feel strangely honored to have been a part of this. I never imagined we'd reach a thousand articles back when I started the wiki. Good jorb, everyone! &mdash; {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 18:13, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

::No, I don't think it has anything to do with deleted pages.  The number on the [[Main Page]] doesn't include pages marked as [[:Category:Stubs|stubs]], so as pages are marked and un-marked as stubs, the number changes accordingly.  [[Game Sightings]] was the first page to be the 1,000th page.  [[Fonts]] appears to be the 1,000th page right now, but if someone marked an article as a stub in a few minutes, the page created after [[Fonts]] (which right now is [[do over]]) would appear to be the 1,000th page.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:36, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

==Font Examples==

Would it be possible to write a little example of each font? I'm not much one for that sort of 'hacking, coding' type thing, so if anyone else wants to tackle it - provided it's possible to do so while still properly [[HRWiki:Validation committee|validated]] and whatnot, go right ahead. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:44, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

:I don't know where the "hacking, coding" comes in, but why not take a screenshot of each of the fonts as used on the site? <small>&mdash;&nbsp;[[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]]</small> 18:56, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

::Ah right, that could work. I just meant hacking and coding as in 'you can't just change the font on the wiki with a little dropdown bar', at least I don't think you can... I just think it would look cleaner than screenshots. But if it's not possible, I'll get on the screenshots. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 07:56, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

:::It's not possible. If you change the font of a bit of text on a web page, it only shows up in that font if the visitor has that font installed. Anyway, if you want it to look "cleaner", I just suggest that you make each screenshot the same dimensions. <small>&mdash;&nbsp;[[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]]</small> 20:51, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

:I've now added previews. However they're not the same size, and they could be presented better. But, at least we have previews for now. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 11:59, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

::And now I've put it all in a table. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 02:31, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

:Ugh! The old font samples were ''way'' superior. First, they didn't take up as much space. Second, they provided a better context for the fonts. If someone wants to see all the characters of a font, they should go to Wikipedia or [http://myfonts.com MyFonts.com]. Reverting... &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:01, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:<strike>And on a side note, does it not ruin the entire point of the Quick Brown Fox if you Capitalize Every Single Word? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:05, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)</strike>

:: Which, as I can see, is not what happened in the last edit. My bad. I'm actually kinda siding with the big Quick Brown Fox blocks... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:07, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::We don't need to see every character, which only serves to stretch out the table so it doesn't fit on one or one and a half screens. What is better is to see how each font is used on the site in a representative screenshot. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:13, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::: I do see where you're coming from, and I don't care enough to argue the point. But I also see where Trogga and The Paper are coming from. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:16, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::::I think the "Quick brown fox" examples are too big. Having screenshots of the fonts in use on H*R.com is better because you can see where its used (even if they are all different sizes). {{User:Rainer/sig}} 07:55, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== External Links ==

Shouldn't there be a link to a spot to download the font? [[User:Ed smildE|<font face="tw cen mt">E<small>D</small>S<small>MILDE</small></font>]]

:That would be ideal. However, before doing so make sure that the font is free. This will take some research because a lot of fonts that aren't meant to be free are available illegally on some free font sites, and linking to those is out of the question. In other words, just because a font is on some free font site doesn't mean that it's legal, so be very very careful. <small>&mdash;&nbsp;[[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]]</small> 21:03, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Bauhaus-Thin: The menu page buttons (i.e. Toons, Games, Characters, Downloads, Store, and Email). <BR>
Comix Heavy: The little bit in the top right corner of [[HR:newbutton.swf|this]]. (The "LAST UPDATED ON" font.) <BR>
Potrzebie: Already on the font page. <BR>

==Stub==
Why is this page a stub?  It looks complete to me. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 15:50, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Because there are a ''lot'' of fonts on the site that we haven't yet added to the table.

::Yes it is. Someone emailed me the font size

== Block lettering? (oh that was bad. :D) ==

OK, I've gone through [[other days]] looking for what font was used on SB's Block screen, and I've come up empty. I thought it might be Charybdis, which is very close, but not quite it. So I consulted WhatTheFont and got an even closer result, but the loop of the "P" is two "pixels" instead of three. So it's not that either. Any ideas?

Oh, btw, along the way I also added every other font used in that email so that's all taken care of. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 01:21, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

:A stub is a page that's incomplete. As there are probably still fonts we've not yet identified on the site, and more to come, this is a stub. And will remain so for a while. Like [[Sound Effects]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Table Separation ==
We either need to put all the seperate tables back into one big table (which I think would be best) or get the same column width for each table. Right now it looks messy and just plain couth. - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 11:32, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Apparently, Blippo was the previous name of Bauhaus 93 and our policy is to use the earliest name of the font. I personally think that an exception should be made here.

I would like to draw attention to the [[Fonts#Gaslight|gaslight]] [[:Image:GaslightFont.PNG|sample image]] which actually has two fonts and it is not clear which is which.

:For reference [http://www.fonts101.com/xt_fontdetails_az_FID!18468~Gaslight~font.html this is Gaslight. Looks like the intended sample was the top text, not the bottom. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}}
::Ahh! After careful inspection, it is (now finally) clear to me that the top sample is [[:Image:Broadway.png|Broadway]].  Yeah, it took me this long. :S  Anywho, I guess the question left now is, what's the bottom font then (for the "Editing" sample)?  Is it [[:Image:ChalkDust Font.PNG|EraserDust]]?  Or something slightly different? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:32, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
:::The flash files confirm that the font in the example above is the same font as in [[anything]].  The difference is that the word "EDITING" is in italics.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 06:09, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
::::Cool! Thanks for solving the last part of that mystery! Now that you mentioned the use of the decompiler, I've been wondering if there would be a practical way to make this list exhaustive, as its [[:Category:Incomplete Lists|incomplete status]] would indicate.   It would be cool if we had a script that would take a bunch of .swf files, decompile them and print out a sorted list of fonts along with the file and first frame they're found in. At least I'd think that might be feasible (if we can automatically decompile a set of flash files).  --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 12:55, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

== Main Page Messages ==

I'm surprised to see that the [[Main Page Messages]] font isn't listed here.  It looks like it's always the same font so I came here to look for it. I've {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:Fonts&diff=535380&oldid=534658 added}} it to the TODO list.  If anyone with Font magic can add it, (that means '''you''' [[User:ACupOfCoffee|ACupOfCoffee]] ;) ) I'll be much obliged. When done, I want to link to it from [[Main Page Messages]] since I think it would be good information to have on that page. For the curious, of course. :) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 15:32, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
:It's Potrzebie.  It's already on the fonts page.  =]  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:36, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
::Ah! Good eye! Thank you very much!  My initial text searches had been fruitless.  I don't know why I didn't try "main page".  I've linked the font with the [[Main Page Messages]] page and vice versa. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:56, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

== Swears ==

The name of the font that is used for the word "CRISP" during [[candy product]] contains obvious profanity.  (It can be found {{inlinecontentwarning}} [http://tinyurl.com/2rmp2l here])  How can we appropriately document this font?  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 21:56, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
:I dunno this is a tough one.  We could abbreviated as P.A.B. or "Punk A** B***H" (maybe with less asterisks). Too bad we don't have forum-style spoilers buttons, cuz to reveal the actual name we'd have to create a new form of information hiding (rollover reveal, white text, or something else).  Alternatively we could anchor link to the bottom of the page and have the content warning there. However, before proceeding i think it would be good to hear the input of other established users. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:17, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
::Maybe "pUNKDONKEYFEMALEDOG"?  =]  I was wishing we did have some kind of "reveal the text" method as you described.  I know it's possible to do mouseover effects, like here: <span title="pUNKDONKEYFEMALEDOG">pUNKA**B****</span>.  But I believe that that particular method doesn't work in all browsers.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 18:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
:::Nope, doesn't work in Firefox. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:07, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
::::It most certainly does work in firefox, i don't know what you're doing wrong. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
:::::Oh, you're right, it does work! I misunderstood what he was trying to do. See below for my response to that suggesiton. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:34, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
:I think you should just type it out and put a warning at the top of the page like "there might be naughty words on this page that'll make you blush".  Maybe something better than that, but I think it's a good idea.  [[User:75.175.146.9|75.175.146.9]] 18:05, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
::We could use the {{t|censored}} template. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:13, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
:::I don't really think that's a good idea.  {{tl|censored}} is for pages that have several words of profanity in them requiring an uncesored version. This is only a single instance making that version overkill.  As for your span-linked (<span title="pUNKDONKEYFEMALEDOG">pUNKA**B****</span>) version of the hoverlink, I don't think this is an effective solution either. There is no notice that the uncensored version is a hover link.  People who'd like to see won't know what to look for and people who don't may accidentally see it.  If there was a notice, then this method might not be as necessary.  Then again we could have a notice that said "hover here for uncensored version", but there's still the issue of accidental hovers.  The spoilers version I suggested was the ones on bulletin boards where you have a button (in this case it would say "click for uncensored version") and clicking the button would magically show the goods. But that one would require some mediawiki extension, clever ninjaing, and of course, permission. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:34, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
::::Do you have a link for an example, Stux? It sounds good, but I can't picture it. [[User:75.175.146.9|75.175.146.9]] 19:26, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
:::::This is all much to complicated.

Here's my test notification:

Better refinements are welcome. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:55, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

== Finding Fonts ==

Let me paint a hypothetical scenario, then make a suggestion.  Let's say John Doe happens onto the [[Fonts]] page and remembers that he once saw a toon that had some kick awesome font in it that he had always wanted to find to download.  But, alas, upon doing a sweep of the page for the toon name, he finds it not!  Discouraged and disheartened, he swears vengeance upon Trogdor and ends up getting himself killed.  To prevent this tragedy, I suggest a [[Fonts by Toon]] article (or something similarly-named) wherein we might document every font used in each toon (but NOT with images for each one).  I'd be anticipating separate tables for each type of toon, something like:

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=3 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! # !! Email Title !! Fonts Used
|-
| 1 || [[some kinda robot]] || Westminster, VOY DOT LCD
|-
| 2 || [[homsar]] || Stencil BT, Westminster, VOY DOT LCD
|-
| ... || ... || ...
|-
| 123 || [[origins]] || Andy, Arial Black, Bauhaus 93, Calisto MT, ComixHeavy, Futura Md BT, Glitch0, Impact, Jenkins v2.0, Jokewood, Times New Roman, VOY DOT LCD
|-
| 124 || [[secret recipes]] || Abadi MT Condensed Extra Bold, AhnbergHand, Bahaus-Thin, Bernard MT Condensed, blacc_.ttf, Glitch0, Mercurius Script MT Bold, Odessa LET, Showcard Gothic, SignPaint HouseSlant, ThereSignHead1, ThereSignHead3, Times New Roman, Warnock Pro Light Caption, VOY DOT LCD
|}

Yes there would be some repetition, but it would be much easier to find a desired font that way.  And [[Fonts]] would continue to exist, but could, perhaps, be adapted to describe each font and its typical usage (with a handy image) rather than to document every time a font appears and what it says each time.  Good idea?  Bad idea?  I'm willing to do a lot of the work.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 22:56, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

:It's a very good idea. It would also take a lot of effort. &mdash; {{User:Lapper/sig}} 22:59, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
::'Tis a VERY effective idea, yet I would have to agree with Lapper, it would take alot of effort and time. {{User:Pertmywert/sig}} 23:13, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
:::I'm not worried about the effort/time.  How about the name of the article, though?  And the format?  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 23:40, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
:::Temporarily located at [[User:OptimisticFool/Fonts By Toon]].  Collaboration welcome.  (Intro intentionally written to sound lame; someone please help my lack of article-writing talent.)  =]  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 08:42, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
::::You know I was gonna suggest that this would be perfect for some form of the automated script I suggested [[#Gaslight|above]].   Of course I'm not sure if the font information is easily avaialble in flash files or not.  However, I noticed OptimisticFool's page and it looks rather exhaustive for the entries it has.  Did you do it by hand or use some form of automated scripting (or are you just using this page's information?) An automated way would be great since the script could provide extra information for other pages such as [[Strong Bad Email Statistics]] which gets outdated fast. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:22, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
:::::Nothing automatic about it, but it isn't difficult to do "by hand".  I start by individually opening each email (in order) until I have about 50 open in "Flash Decompiler Trillix by Eltima Software" (demo).  (To do that with sbemails, I've just kept the URL <nowiki>"http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail.swf"</nowiki> copied to the clipboard, then paste it and type in just the email # each time; I'm sure it will be a bit hard with toons, shorts, etc.)  The Flash file shows which fonts are a part of each file and I type those names into the table, deleting the Flash file out of the decompiler each time I complete the list of fonts for that file.  One exception so far is sbemail29 which also has the font "Tw Cen MT" but there is no text in the sbemail that uses that font.  That email is also unique in that all of Strong Bad's typing is done employing what the Flash file calls "shapes".  It's clearly still from the font Westminster, but I feel that "fonts that are shapes" should somehow be differentiated from the rest.  I'm sorry to say that TBC do this frequently enough that some fonts may be impossible to find and really will need to be compared to other fonts to determine what they are, since the Flash file gives no clue.  One example is the "Here Comes The Thnikkaman" text.  No idea what font that is.  Also, product names are often done using shapes, like "[[School Paste]]".  Again, no idea what font that is.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 18:16, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

== Correcting Lies ==

Hi OptimisticFool (and anyone else involved in fixing this page),  I wanted to ask about {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Fonts&diff=next&oldid=538927 this edit}} and edits like it (not counting {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Fonts&diff=538967&oldid=538966 these}}): this edit shows the sample removed from the list but no information correcting it (and I didn't see a request for finding its correct name).  Have these been corrected somewhere? If so where? The reason I ask is while you may have an efficient system that works for you, if you want other people involved, more documentation and checks will be necessary. (I intend to put some information on [[HRWiki:Projects]] regarding this effort later on). --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:41, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
:I should have done better about explaining the removal, I suppose.  I'll do better.  I removed [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Fonts&diff=next&oldid=538927 this] because the font is actually Rounded Informal.  I guess my attitude was, "This is wrong and therefore never should have been added, and I'm working to get everything documented correctly elsewhere (first), so why not just delete the thing?"  If you have other specific edits you have questions about, let me know.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 20:05, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

==20X6==
what are the fonts for the 20X6 trading cards in the sbemail [[trading cards]]?  {{unsigned|Wichesbrew82|01:36, 15 February 2008 (UTC)}}
:[[Fonts By Toon]] will help in finding the answer to this type of question.  Since not all of the fonts are documented in one place (yet), I'll make it easy on you.  The fonts used are Arial Rounded MT Bold and Potrzebie.  That'll be $20.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 01:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

== New fonts page ==

The page that was developed at [[User:OptimisticFool/Font Name List]] has now replaced the {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Fonts&oldid=547783 old Fonts page}}. In merging the two pages, I adjusted the timestamps of the new page so that they all came after the timestamps of the old page; that way, there is no overlap between the two histories (the two pages were being edited concurrently during the development of the new page), and thus it is easier to see diffs between revisions of the respective pages. I preserved the timestamps of the revisions of the new page in the edit summaries (listed in UTC). &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:33, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks for getting that move done.  A strange thing is happening, though.  It seems to have to do with my edit on 1/20/08 to the original [[Fonts]] article.  I don't know how to explain it, other than to have you see what happens.  Go [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Fonts&diff=536631&oldid=535848 here] and click "Next diff" and take note of the difference in dates.  Something equally odd happens by clicking "Next diff" from [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Fonts&diff=next&oldid=536182 here].  I just ain't wiki-smart enough (or wiki-powerful enough) to know what's wrong (or to be able to fix it).  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 06:03, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
::No probalo. The issue you mention is a known bug that happens when histories are merged. It has to do with how the software decides what the "next" revision is. I thought deleting and restoring the whole page would fix it, but alas no. At least viewing the history is nice and clean. (Those diffs are what the history would look like if I hadn't adjusted the timestamps.) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:20, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Got it.  That also explains why selecting consecutively-listed radio buttons and then clicking the "Compare selected versions" button will sometimes produce a message saying "includes X intermediate revision(s)".  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 06:37, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

== Adequate ? ==

I didn't add it cuz it was Furuta Lt BT '''Light''' and not ''Furuta Lt BT'' thus likely making them slightly different.  (Similar with {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:OptimisticFool/Font_Name_List&diff=543843&oldid=543841&rcid=500987 this edit}}.)  Are they the same font? If not what are the differences and are they significant enough to warrant removal and/or the search for a better sample? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 23:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
:Web sites don't always list the name of the font as it appears after installation.  Words like "Plain" and "Regular" are often thrown in for example, but don't actually appear that way in Wordpad or whatever.  I check every link I put on the page to make sure its name appears correctly after it's fully installed, and I'll check your links as I go to make sure they are correct as well.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 23:10, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
::Listen, hey, I forgot to say thanks for the help.  Even though you haven't been able to compare the fonts you're finding to any samples, I expect the ones you've found will have about a 99% accuracy rate and will save me a lot of time.  Being able to just click a link to download a font saves me time on the searching side of things, plus I really find that plainlinks template (even as simplified as it is) to be annoying to type.  (I can never seem to hit that equals sign on the first try, dang it!)  Plus, it's one less thing to make sure I have typed right when I reach for the "Save page" button.  So, really, thanks a million.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 06:35, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Yes 99% accuracy! That means I must find 100 links before one of them must fail! :S Well, I don't think that my accuracy rate will be that high but I'll do my best! I'll also be a bit more lenient when including links.  Actually here's another quesiton: some fonts have "<nowiki><font name></nowiki> plain 1.0" or "<nowiki><font name></nowiki> 1.0" appended to them.  Do you want links to those too?  As for the {{tl|p}} template, it's really no big deal, you just have to establish a {{pl|l=http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=rhythm rhythm}} with your fingers. :) I hope I'll resume work on it sometime later this weekend. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:23, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
::::Yeah, anything with "regular" "plain" or version numbers are usually pretty safe to assume, especially since I'll be checking them as I go anyway.  One big favor I'd ask is that you specifically let me know if you find a link to a font that I've already described in the table.  I don't give up easily when looking for a link, so if you really do find a link that looks good, I'd like to make sure it wasn't one I passed on already because it was the wrong font.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 00:48, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

:They're very similar, but not the same.  The font that installs as "BlackChancery" is (slightly) different from the font that installs as "blacc_.ttf" ... to verify this, I installed both and took a look at a few letters (one at a time) at a large font size, switching from one font to the other.. there are noticeable differences, and TBC have the font that installs as "blacc_.ttf" ... {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 09:26, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

== Does Almost Count? ==

Does "almost" count in horseshoes, hand grenades, and fonts?  Each Flash file clearly identifies font names as they appear in TBC's list of fonts, yet some of their fonts seem to be slight variations of otherwise easy-to-find fonts.  For instance, TBC have a font called "Æ Systematic TT (BRK)" but the download sites I've gone through have this font that installs as "Æ Systematic TT BRK" (the difference being the lack of parentheses).  Another example is "Keep on Truckin" which installs as "Keep on Truckin'FW" from the many sites I find it on.  Recently, my attitude was "{{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Fonts&diff=653630&oldid=652843 Meh}}", but I'm starting to change my mind.  While these fonts are at least very similar, if not identical, and could easily be justified for use in creating authentic-looking fan stuff, they're just not THE fonts that TBC have.  This means that, when opening a decompiled SWF (aka FLA) in Macromedia Flash, the program alerts the user that the're still missing the correct font.  So, should we link to these fonts, or not?  If we do link, do we do it differently.. explaining somewhere in the table when an individual link doesn't exactly lead to the actual font TBC themselves have installed?  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 16:07, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
:I'd think almost counts, at least for something. We should get as close as we can, but if it's not the exact font, it should be noted in some way. More than an asterisk but less than flashing letters. (FWIW, in today's days I open my FLAs in ''Adobe'' Flash.) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:30, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
::[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&oldid=654494 This] is what I've come up with.. it doesn't describe ''why'' a different font is linked, but it's something.  Anyone got anything better?  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:23, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

== Linking ==

Wouldn't it be best to link to a single place where to find the fonts? Like maybe as many as possible to identifont or something. Also, a few of the links are dead (the first one I noticed was for Mr. Television). What to do about that?
