Hullo.

This is really just a thread that I made for... well... help. It's hard for a roleplayer like me to admit, but I abhore anything that has to do with design. I'm the world's worst coder, (Is that a word? Coder? No?), and absolutely have no clue whatsoever on how to fit in pictures and stuff. You know, make it "prettiful." Speaking of pictures, I need a lot of help in that area. A lot. (I own Photoshop but don't know how to use it.) Especially since I have no Photobucket account. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to do anything with anything when it comes to pictures.

Oh, you're still here?

Well, anyhoo, I'm Marcie. Pleasure to meet you. Hope to see a bit of advice soon--any will be appreciated.

Let's see... Onto the first questions(s). (If anybody's interested) ~

1. How do you do that "cool" font on Gaia? The one with flipped letters, the strikethrough o? All that stuff? I've seen it around a lot, but I never found out how to type it... sadly.
2. Are there any other types of fonts we can use on Gaia, or is this the only one?

Although there must be a trillion more questions, I just wanted to ask about font right now.

Hello! I absolutely love to code.. So I can help you if you want [:

1. The flipped letters and stuff if some complicated thing in accessories (well, not all that complicated, but inconvenient if you ask me) so I have a test thread where I keep all my symbols and copy and paste them.. this is my test thread if you want to use them, and you can copy and paste them onto your own test thread if you want.

2. I've looked for other fonts on Gaia, but the only ones I can find are the ones in my test thread, and they don't really count.

It's not actually a different font, it's just a bunch of weird extra characters, used ether in other languages, or phoneticly expanded english, such as:

ÀÁÂÃÄÅ
ÈÉÊË
ÌÍÎÏ
Ñ
ÒÓÔÕÖ
ÙÚÛÜ

Each one of those symbols above the letter describes a specific pronunciation of the letter

Then there's say, Greek
Αα-Ββ-Γγ-Δδ-Εε-Ζζ-Ηη-Θθ-Ιι-Κκ-Λλ-Μμ

Japanese
User Image

Random symbols
€™∂∏∑∞†‡•≠   ﬁ ﬂ ¿®©ª¸º¤¥§ƒ°¹²³

So how do you do it;
Start Menu>All Programs>Accessories>Character Map
OR
Start Menu>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Character Map

Thanks to both of you. I'm just really clueless about coding.

Who know knows a whole lot about pictures? I'm in terrible need to learn how to format pictures for roleplays. You know, for headers or something. (For example, banner making is a skill I'll never be able to get, just because resizing and editing the picture to fit the banner is something too difficult. Also, I see things that seem like circle-shaped pictures of their character, which I can't recall what it's called and how it's done. Do they crop it? Is that the word?)
