All of my posts seem to render the same Times New Roman (or similar) font. I use Franklin Gothic Medium and know what it should look like and instead, all my posts look more like a Times New Roman or Arial. Also, when selecting my font from the drop down menu, it will usually show a preview of what the font's name is and what it looks like but instead it's just the font name. The same goes for all posts on GTPlanet regardless of whether or not they're using a specific font.

Any idea what's causing this?

Edit - Also, give me a sec. I'll upload a comparison picture.
Edit 2 - Ok, here's what it should look like. (Viewed through Internet Explorer)

But instead, I get this. (Viewed through Opera, my preferred browser)

The differences are more noticeable when you're actually looking at the two of them, but hopefully you'll see the differences.

The visibility of a font will depend upon the font's file being installed in your computer and your browser's ability to detect or use it.

Mac users, for example, will never see your post in Franklin Gothic Medium, unless they have installed the font themselves. Instead, it will look like a small, bold Times New Roman.

Because the font is visible when you use Internet Explorer but not Opera, this is likely an Opera issue. There's nothing I can do to fix it on GTPlanet, but perhaps someone with more experience with Opera can chime in.
 
What's bugging me about is that it worked before, but it just stopped. It only happens on GTPlanet though. On Minecraft Forums, all the fonts still display fine for me.. :confused:

Eh, oh well. It's no big deal.
 
Just a little update on this - turns out I had to enable Custom Fonts and Colors. Long story short, problem solved. 👍
