Description

*Aug 2019 Update*
As this continues to be my most popular post, I have taken time to modernize it, and attempted to clear up some of the confusion that has often presented itself in the comments. Thanks for your support!


Here is how to change text size and font on deviantART!


These methods WILL WORK in journals, literature entries, and your deviantID
These methods WON'T WORK in comments or deviation descriptions


SIZE
To change the size of text, use the following expression, where x is replaced by numbers 1 through 7, within quotation marks, as shown:

size="x">TheDuckofPowerfont>

TDoP at 1
TDoP at 2
TDoP at 3
TDoP at 4
TDoP at 5
TDoP at 6
TDoP at 7


FONT
To change the font of text, use the following expression, where y is replaced by the name of the font with applicable spaces between words of the font name ( Read NOTICE at bottom about which fonts you should and shouldn't use ):

face="y">TheDuckofPowerfont>

Times New Roman
Arial
Arial Black
Impact
Helvetica
Lucida Console


SIZE & FONT
To change both size and font in a single expression, simply include size and face data together exactly as shown:

size="5" face="Lucida Console">TheDuckofPowerfont>

Lucida Console at 5


NOTICE: Be careful to only use common fonts. Not all fonts display on all computers, so it is possible that your chosen font may look fine on your computer, but not display correctly on someone else's. To help reduce the chance of this error, here is a list of fonts common between Windows and Mac users:

This listing is very old, but I checked it against a newer list to make sure it was still good for 2019. I used it largely because it displays samples of the fonts themselves.


Hope y'all find that useful!

Hi, I don't think the font tag works anymore for non-core members.

I believe it will still work if you are editing a journal that was already published years ago or was published before Core membership expired.

TheDuckofPower In reply to XCurtainX [2019-10-06 02:49:45 +0000 UTC]

Hmm? I just tested the font tag in both a new journal entry and a literature entry, and everything seems to be working alright. I've never had Core.

I guess it's because you created your account before Wix took over DeviantArt.

- For a journal, you would click "Write a Journal Entry" and use these codes in the main text body AFTER clicking "Edit" near the top left of the blank journal, and turning OFF "Switch to Rich Editing Mode".
- For literature, you would start a new Deviation and click "Enter text" (beneath "Choose a file to upload"), then use the codes in the main text body.
- For your deviantID, click the pencil in the top right of the widget, and click "Edit this widget", then use the codes in the text body/segment called "Bio".

REMEMBER: The methods outlined in this journal  DO NOT WORK  here in the comments.
Here's a few methods for altering text that  DO WORK  in comments:

>I am a different font!code>  I am a different font!

>I am small!small>  I am small!

<small><small>I am very small!small>small> I am very small!

>I am subscript!sub>  I am subscript!

>I am superscript!sup>  I am superscript!

Font face and size expressions don't work in comments... But this one works for making text smaller, at least:
all>I am tiny!all>    I am tiny!
