By default when you go to the posting screen under the sub-heading Code Buttons the selectable fonts are Arial, Times, Courier, Impact, Geneva, Optima. In order to add more fonts to you're boards system follow this path:
Admin CP -> Skins & Templates -> HTML Templates -> Manage HTML.
Now find the 17th option entitled Post Screen Sections, click on that.
Now find the 17th option entitled +-- Post: Code Buttons & Post Text area, to the right of this click on Edit Single. From here find the last font line, it looks like this:
<option value='Optima' style='font-family:Optima'>Optima</option>
Below this line add this:
<option value='Book Antiqua' style='font-family:Book Antiqua'>Book Antiqua</option>
<option value='Century Gothic' style='font-family:Century Gothic'>Century Gothic</option>
<option value='Comic Sans MS' style='font-family:Comic Sans MS'>Comic Sans MS</option>
The text marked in red displays the new fonts added, you may edit/remove/add from the text marked in red to whatever you wish for the new font type to me. Say for example you wanted to use a Garamond font, you'd simply change the text marked in
red to read Garamond instead of Century Gothic or any other font type. Or you you don't want to remove fonts for other fonts simply use this code to add onto the font selection without removing any, edit the text marked in red with the type of fonts name:
<option value='Font Name Here' style='font-family:Font Name Here'>Font Name Here</option>
Once complete, click on the Update templates button.
Admin CP -> Skins & Templates -> HTML Templates -> Manage HTML.
