Here you'll be able to set the Name section. This will not affect any other names for other newsgroup servers, or e-mailing, except from the Net Yaroze newsgroups. About the colour of text, use ~cRGB where RGB are the red, green and blue values between 0 and 9 of the text. eg for fully red: ~c900 In the context of FntPrint, to display "Hello World" in blue, put: FntPrint("~c009HelloWorld"); In the case of changing the font, you will need to create your own font in a graphics program, then convert it into a TIM. You then need to write a function which uses a GsSPRITE, sets the .u and .v values to match the character you wish to display, display it, then loop round to the next character in the string. It's also best to leave the colour of the font white, so you can alter the RGB of the GsSPRITE to whatever colour you want. I'm going to make my own font handler when I get around to it, so I've got some ideas, so ask me if you want any more help.
