I know you can edit news.txt to make it all fancy w/ colors but can you add your own downloaded fonts to it, and make it vieweable to other playerse?

Hes asking if you can include a non-standard font that may not be present on another users machine, the answer to which is: no.

Doesn't the rich text renderer simply choose some default font if it can't find a matching one?

Yeah, but hes asking if the font can be included, so it wont ever have to use a default font.

RTF supports embeded fonts, but I don't know of any editors that have that feature.

Oh, nifty. I did not know that.

Nah, RTF sucks.

Don't think you can include fonts.
But nothing stops you from displaying a link for the fonts and having ppl d/l them and install them.
From there on they'll see the desired font.
