pixlie1488312667 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 How do people write in cursive or use emoticons in sl? I just wanted to write my name a little differently in my profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Jetaime Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 You can't really write in cursive or other fonts. What your seeing is people using unicode characters that you copy and paste into the display name. There are notecards available that have them and web sites where you can obtain the characters on them. Keep in mind that people have to be able to read your name. I see so many people that try to get fancy using unicode with the result that you don't have any idea what their name is. If your keeping the same name its not a big deal, but if you are going to change it, and people can't read it, they will just call you by your user name, which defeats the purpose of it. Also people have a choice if they can see a Display name or not on your tag. Some people turn viewing display names off because it annoys them trying to read unreadable names in unicode. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WADE1 Jya Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 its not different fonts. SL has no font support. they are just typing special unicode characters. all fonts use unicode & potentially depending on the codepage support of the font have tens of thousands of special characters! the easiest way to access these is google 'unicode' there are page tables on the net with all possibly available symbols. these links may be to your liking: http://panmental.de/symbols/info.htm http://www.mandaliet.com/cursive.php 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterCanessa Oh Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Be careful where you get creative. Several people have been locked out of SL because a group name or tag contained unicode characters that caused a problem logging-in. Quite why is a mystery, but it does happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were looking for different ways to display their name in their profile.. I just thought i would show them one of the possibilities. Unless they may have been talking about where their account name actually goes..Then that probably wouldn't work.. Anywhere else they can type it,Yea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talligurl Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 So this all brings up a question for me, can a person copy and paste directly from Google translate and get foreign characters in the Display name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not totally. I first did it for an alt using using the tilde over the n in Spanish and that displayed fine. I then tried just translating a 'My name' to Amharic, resulting in የእኔን ስም but that just displays as some empty boxes inworld: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrisonMcKenzie Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Not that it will matter since no one will read this and since the thread was started ages ago, but remember that many of these special characters are letters in another language, and look absolutely ridiculous to those who can read them. That cute slanted smiley face everyone uses? This one ツ? It's a letter in Japanese. Every time someone uses it, I think they're sneezing, or are an idiot.

Don't hate on people using Shi (I use it as a smile), X D is 2 letters and is much the same sort of thing in English, as is : P, although that's one punctuation and one letter. ははははははははは 15 hours ago, LittleMe Jewell said: Not totally.

I get SO frustrated when I'm working at the club and I WANT to greet a guest properly - but their name is "Cutsie-Illegible". So I *try* and occasionally they get miffed when I get their illegible name wrong..... in my defense, I really thought that guys name was P33N1z......
