It would be nice to be able to change font in a easy way, not all fonts, only a single line, both text and echo, something like:
//say $font(font-name,size,text you want to be displayed)
//echo -a $font(font-name,size,text you want to be displayed)
I know I would use that allot, and I belive others would too.

As long as it affects only you (the one doing it), I would like to see this as well. And if it's only affecting you, then it wouldn't be sending a bunch of extra codes over IRC. I'm not sure if Khaled would have to redesign how the windows work to get that working, though. If so, it might be too much trouble. I'm not sure.

I was more thinking on text displayed to you "as you wrote", like i use Wingdings in some @windows, like Webdings 4 will show a "play" arrow "as it show in winamp" for my mp3 player, and stuff like that, it would make it possible to make the scripts much bether looking for it's users.. atlest what i think.

There's something in the help file about UTF and 'font linking'
Font Linking
This setting works in conjunction with the UTF-8 display setting. If enabled, allows mIRC to display all characters regardless of the font you are using, assuming you have the required fonts on your system.
...although I'm not sure how (yet...:)

Yes, but YOU wont be able to read anything if you change your font to Webdings, would be nice to use a $font(font,zize,text) to use other fonts in a echo as an example.

...although I'm not sure how (yet...:) I haven't really played around with that because I'm not on channels that use fonts I can't read with my normal font. However, I'm wondering how it knows which font to use. For example, I use MS Gothic to display Japanese characters in web pages. If Japanese characters come in through IRC, will it know to use MS Gothic, or will it look for a different font that displays Japanese? I'd assume MS Gothic would be fine because it seems to be the most popular font for displaying Japanese, but what about other fonts? You can't hardcode every possible font for every language... well, you could, but it would be a waste of time. So is there a list of what fonts are used for displaying different languages in mIRC? And what order they are chosen?
