Missing fonts

(I think the mention of Word in an earlier post was a red herring, TBH).

it isn't; if we have word, as a general rule, we won't have any problems with fonts when we surf the net or write emails. If we don't have word, then we rely on what's built in on IE. We underestimate the power of programme on our system. It can speed our system because it would have files to help surfing easier, sometimes it is slowed down due to missing files or incompatible programme. There are several factors why some sites don't work which is why the team has to work on it meticulously each time we report. Most of the time we fail to take note of some dysfunctional programme in our own system that is a slowing down the system and spoiling the surfing experience.

In fact, this is really my beef - the site at present prevents you changing any imported or quoted text to the default, mainly due to the fact that Verdana comes lower in alphabetic order than 'I'.

so what, it is the default font anyway so it is ok if it doesn't appear on the list surely

if there's an issue you could just highlight the text and click on unformat or simply manually delete the font tags

MS Office does add some fonts to the Windows system ones, but the fonts we use here are a limited number which seem to be defined by vBulletin.

It doesn't use font tags in the reply window. There's an 'unformat' button?

you could be right

If you're copying and pasting an imported quote as you said in your post, the font tags would appear if you click on the switch editor mode:

Yes, there is an unformat button:

Aha, I could never see that that did anything. Obviously, that was because I must have only tested it in a post with no formatting codes!
