"Comic Sans" font on iPads/iPhones

The "Comic Sans" font was previously not showing properly on iPads and iPhones, and was instead showing as a nearly illegible curly hand-writing font. This is because Apple didn't include it in its fonts for iDevices, and the forum software only offered a nearly illegible curly hand-writing font as an alternative.

 

I've now fiddled with the appropriate code for the forum software that controls fonts and have made it so that the "Comic Sans" font now shows as the "Chalkboard" font on iPads/iPhones, as "Chalkboard" is the nearest font in appearance to "Comic Sans".

 

Note that this change for iDevices will only work as from now on but won't work for older posts that used "Comic Sans". I have, however, made it so that previous posts made by Herecomestrouble and Boudica - where they used "Comic Sans" - will now show with the "Chalkboard" font on iDevices.

 

For anybody who's a bit geeky and knows about fonts, this is a list of which fonts are compatible with iPads/iPhones:
