Quick suggestion: What about making the font monospaced like Lucida Console or Monaco? They're pretty easy to read, and I think it would make some structuring stuff simpler, like making all the timestamps and user nicks (between <NICK> and * NICK) line up.
-
Yeah I agree. Make sure it's not too wide, though.
-
Yeah good point, and L Console does seem a little wide. Maybe you could mess with letter-spacing for that.
-
Yeah that could work. Else, if it wasn't for lack of certain chars or copyright issue,s he could just use TI fonts. :P
Another idea is Fyxedis. They look like SNES characters.

Monospaced fonts is a great idea. You could make it Courier New.

But that'd make code so much easier :P

I had the TI-83P font on there for about 12 seconds, it looked horrible.
Speaking of horrible, all the web-safe sans serif monospaced fonts suck.

Yeah we tested it a few minutes ago and it looked terrible O.O

Great idea!! What about the font called Monaco, I think it looks well.

Courier New's pretty hard to read though. Looks cool and all but it's not really practical. (Pas experience with making my default OS font C New x.x)Great idea!! What about the font called Monaco, I think it looks well.
Except that it's not really web-safe except on Macs. That's why I suggested it as a backup beside Lucida Console, which looks similar and is loaded by default on Windows, Macs, and Linux.

Even better, font choosing?
-
Lucida was far too wide, and reducing it at all made some characters overlap.
I'll see about font selecting. If I could read all system fonts in Javascript, that'd be awesome...
-
There's a font called Small Fonts, not monospace but it can be squeezed pretty small.
Idk if there's System on many comps either...
-
This is kind of related to the font. I feel like the spacing around the blue line on the left that separates the names and text is a little tight. From my staring, it would appear that there is only 1 pixel on either side of it. And what happens is that some names, (like calc84maniac), look like they run into it.
So, I don't know if it's possible, but one or two more pixels on both sides of it should clean it up nice :D
Edit:
It's really only the left side that's the problem. The right side looks fine. (probably due to different text colors)
