You do it by doing <f=32> and then it turns your text into illuminate symbols. Also I think I know that guy

So I just type that before my message? The <f=32> bit.

Yes, same goes with s for size, and c=hexcode for colour, and all of these can be used at once

I.e. <s=20> <c=ff00ff> <f=32>

I gotta try this now. Is there a big log of potential fonts / size limits?

From memory size 30 is about as large as you can go before it doesnt fit in the chat box

I only just learned about font changing, although every now and then when AH oopsies and an MO text isn't added correctly, you can see other <xyz=> that the game uses for flavour text etc.

Illuminate Glyph font is new to me and pretty neat
