This is a community of above average intelligent people who play with toys at
home.

We need more font choices to alter the "tone" of our voice.

Specifically I need a font that conveys sarcasm.

Thanks for considering.

Mike.

The usual indication of this is the Union flag on a persons ID card

  Thanks for considering.

Or how about IMPACT for not just yelling, but for like the kind of yelling crazy
people do before a drunken cat fight on a Saturday night after three days of
PCP abuse? Not that I speak from experience.

As a great forum contributor once said:

"If you need to tell us that it's sarcasm, you're not doing it right!"

Or a dropdown that lets you pick any font on your computer. Of course, you just
have to not pick a not-widely-used font. But there's dozens that are quite common.
Comic Sans when you're feeling comical, Impact when you need to say something
with impact, Courier for that retro typewriter look, Wingdings when you wanna
wing it, and the list goes on.
Maybe include a filter that only allows certain fonts or font families. But we'll
pass on said filter for now. Maybe we could have "Do you have this font?" discussions,
instead of the usual forum drama. Such discussion may even lead members to expand
their font libraries.

Give it a Splat in that Honeydripper font!
