Web-safe Device Font list improvements

The current list of web-safe device fonts to choose from is

However, it’d be better to group some of these together as fallbacks in case a certain font is not installed. For example, Palatino Linotype and Book Antiqua are very similar, and some Macs call it just “Palatino.” So instead of having three separate choices, you can just have one referred to as “Palatino” in the menu. Wick can automatically load whichever specific font is available, like in this page.
Full proposed list below:

Display Name First Choice Fallback 1 Fallback 2 Fallback 3
Arial Arial sans-serif
Arial Black Arial Black Gadget sans-serif
Helvetica Helvetica Arial sans-serif
Segoe UI Segoe UI Helvetica Neue Arial sans-serif
Palatino Palatino Linotype Palatino Book Antiqua serif
Times New Roman Times New Roman Times serif
Georgia Georgia serif
Impact Impact Charcoal sans-serif
Comic Sans Comic Sans MS cursive sans-serif
Tahoma Tahoma Geneva sans-serif
Verdana Verdana Geneva sans-serif
Trebuchet MS Trebuchet MS Helvetica sans-serif
Lucida Sans Lucida Sans Lucida Grande Lucida Sans Unicode sans-serif
Courier New Courier New Courier monospace
Lucida Console Lucida Console Monaco monospace

Ayyy welcome to the new forum~~

The new text tool should be ready to go this weekend! Once that’s live, I want to try to do a full overhaul on fonts in general. I think the idea of using google fonts was cool, and I might have found a way to stuff custom fonts directly into wick projects so that the google fonts will still work without an internet connection!

Will post in this thread with updates as I work on stuff…

It’s already Sunday… for me.

Currently having some issues with the website (see Wickeditor.com Is Acting Funky (503 Errors))

Hopefully I can sort out what’s wrong; I’ll push the textbox update as soon as the site’s working normally again.
