Hey hewee,

I have Win95B. Looks like us Win95 guys
are just left outta this one...

Thanks for the pic Randy, at least we know
what we're missing.

Thanks for the response guys.

Cheers, Mac

<FONT SIZE="1"><b><marquee scrollamount="3" border="0"><FONT SIZE="+0" COLOR="green">Sorry Fellas!</marquee></b></FONT><BR>

That ô thing looks sick! I didn't know that the 95 users would have problems with my fish. It's not even the fish I wanted, but it's the only one I could use.

Sorry Mac, thanks for your help. I think I'll try the boat instead.

I'm afraid Win95 users will have problems with
anything you use from the "webdings" font until
they download and install the font like I did.

I learned a lot from all this.

I am still learning. I dont have a clue whats going on but it looks cool. Where are you guys finding the codes or whatever its called. I have found a couple of places with about a thousand fonts and a thousand things inside it. Is this what I am dealing with to learn?

I'm following this also. I think there fooling around with the Character Map feature

start\programs\accessories\system tools\character map

looks like it lets you type a number code to display a special font

Mac,

What can you see correctly with W95? I am trying to work with everyone's OS now that I know that some things won't work right.

This is my butt hangin over a fence (SYMBOL)v

Peace out!, (Monotype Sorts)

s Authority (marlett)

I'm gonna Blow up this Computer! (wingdings)M

Time to ` this tomfoolery! (MTBWidgets)

The character map is great for chat rooms if you are so inclined to use one. Put a &# in front of the number and you get that symbol posted like the code for a musical note is &# 9835 (no space)

Hey anglin,

My Windows 95B came with "wingdings", so any
of those are no problem. The "webdings" font
does NOT come with Windows 95, so any of those
cannot be seen with Windows 95 (unless the user
downloads and installs it separately).

Since I installed the "webdings" font (yesterday), I
can see them all (so far anyway...).

Cheers, Mac

Hey Doyce and Buck,

You can see the code we're using (where it's
not in our signature) by pressing the "quote"
button on the post.

You can view several of the characters available
by going to wordpad and selecting the "wingdings"
or "webdings" font and pressing all the letters and
numbers on the keyboard.

Here's the skull and crossbones using the
"wingdings" font and the letter "N". It shows
how to set the color (with a regular color name)
and size.

Press the "quote" button to see the code. This is VB
code and can be used in your signatures.

N

Cheers, Mac

Hey anglin,

OK I blew it. I don't think I'm seeing the correct
stuff on some of the other fonts.

Monotype, I see a comma.
Marlett, I see a question mark.
Mtbwidgets, I see the little squiggle below the tilde.

Wingdings is fine. I see da bomb...
Uh... symbol is OK too...

Sorry I wasn't paying attention at first...

Cheers, Mac

Hi Mac

That's what I see also.

Your signature with the colors and computer is way cool.

Thanks.

The font colorizer is way cool and easy to use,
it's how I got the faded colors. You just have
to change the html code to VB. The colorizer
is here:

The computer is from the wingdings font using
the ":"

The monotype was a hand doing a peace sign. How does my boat look?

Mac,

Yours looks good!
