Did you do anything with the text outside of the message-posting space? None of the controls seem to affect the text in this way.

How do you say ‘woosh’ in upside-down?

I just did a handstand and tried it, sounded exactly the same.

I’m testing the copy/paste & reply. In the reply box did the font work? Or was there a bunch of boxes like I’m seeing?
How about here “ɐɹɔ” if I copy & paste?
I understand that most of you can read this font, but I’m at a crappy work PC that can’t.

For me, it comes up as weird boxes - but, strangely, it appears properly in the mouseover preview yellow box thingy. 😕

Anyone know why the font appears OK in the title bar of the page, and if I copy and paste it into the address bar it looks right, but on the page itself it doesn’t display, and if I c&p into the reply box it doesn’t either?
Surely if I have the font available for the title bar it should appear elsewhere too?
e.g.:
¡unɟ ǝʞıl ʞool sǝop ʇı ʇnq .sıɥʇ buıop ǝɹɐ sʎnb noʎ ʍoɥ ǝɹns ʇou ɯ,ı
shows as mostly boxes and other randomness

I got told off when I started a thread like this. [del]I demand that you be chastised too[/del] I just thought you ought to know.
