I have added some more fonts to Game Courier, these being Arial, Plantin, Baskerville Classico, New Times Roman, Palatino, Chicago, Topaz New, and Georgia. I have also begun to modify the CSS and Table rendering methods to use fonts. Unlike the PNG, JPG and GIF methods, these require fonts to be on your computer. Instead of using a font on the web site, they set the value of font-family to a list of font names, usually ending with serif, sans-serif, or monospace. I added some of the new fonts, because they are common in either Windows or Macs. Topaz New is based on the most common Amiga font. Plantin is generally my favorite serif font, and Baskerville is generally another favorite. This provided a larger set of web safe fonts. I then added the names of known and hypothetical lookalikes.
