Using custom fonts in forum posts

Oh look! A hidden Enjin feature!

Having been made aware of the existence of the [font] tag (thanks 26th), I've gone ahead and taken steps to make a few more fonts available for our use on forums. This post will detail and show examples of what we got. Namely I took the two fonts that we already use on the roster and timeline, but grabbed a monospace one, too, for funsies.

Suggested usage: looks great in all caps on dossiers or other UFP files, e.g. U.S.S. Kindred

As a sidenote, you can technically type whatever font name you want after the equals sign, just that the font will not show for other readers unless they also have that font installed. If you use one of the three above, since I've embedded them cause they're Google web fonts, they are guaranteed to show for all viewers.
