Hi there everyone. I like to write my posts in a font other than the standard forum style, which is so plain... I've been trying out different fonts and such, and I've settled on one I like. The thing is however, that if you don't have the font on your computer it will show up as really large normal forum font. That might get annoying, so anyone who would like the free font so you can look at my posts correctly, go to this website. It won't start downloading automatically, and you'll be able to check out what the font looks like before you download, if you decide to. If you do, you'll be able to see my posts in it!
Sometimes I think to myself, "It would be cool if I put some runes there." So I do.

Do you think your posts worth the effort? I wouldn't know, since I skip anything that appears to focus more on the font than the content.

Wouldn't it be easier, in a utilitarian sense, for you to use the standard font than for hundreds of other people to donwload a new one?
I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves. Neither can I nor would I want to conceive of an individual that survives his physical death; let feeble souls, from fear or absurd egoism, cherish such thoughts. I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life and with the awareness and a glimpse of the marvelous structure of the existing world, together with the devoted striving to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifests itself in nature. -- Albert Einstein

Arrogant or stupid?

Umm... So, does the meaning of your posts change if we use a different font?

My apologies, Soseki; my old eyes have difficulty with anything less than 10pnt.

Wanting to vs less space on my hard drive... I traditionally like to keep my OS drive as OS-only as I possibly can.

No offense intended Soseki, and I'm sure you meant nothing by it, but like Valent said it seems a bit self-obsessed of you to ask the entire forum to download a font to read your posts. If you considered the implications, you might have chosen not to proceed this way, I'm guessing.
Without beginning or end, not created nor started, existing always, forever. Infinite, unmeasurable and therefore unimaginable, does this mean that infinity is a religious belief?
