How to change the font to Times New Roman, etc?
The browser is FireFox.

If you use Post Reply rather than Quick Reply you should be able to use lots of different fonts. I tried it in the Test Forum just to be sure and it seems to work here.

Sorry, that reply probably didn't help you much, I thought FireFox was a font and not a different browser. I have no experience with FireFox and have no idea on how this forums looks like there.
Sorry again!

Quick Reply has no font option. I tried using IE but it won't let me log on with my password. I tried getting a new password but it sends nothing to my email. It looks like I'm locked into using Firefox or I may be locked out of the entire forum! All this over trying to change a simple font to make some presentable presentations!

Often changing fonts away from defaults causes a painful experience for some users. Different browsers and operating systems choose different default fonts. Users often choose specific default fonts for readability under their particular conditions and forcing a different font upon them in HTML is not incredibly polite. It's not a nice thing to do [noparse]:)[/noparse]

A bit like changing font sizes. I have my browser set up with a specific default font size for readability on my particular screen (which is very small at quite a high resolution). When people specify larger font sizes in the forums it tends to make the rendering somewhat disjointed and often not worth the pain to read.

Just write clearly and coherently and leave the formatting for plonkers with flashing tags in their E-mail [noparse]:)[/noparse]
