Quick suggestion: What about making the font monospaced like Lucida Console or Monaco? They're pretty easy to read, and I think it would make some structuring stuff simpler, like making all the timestamps and user nicks (between <NICK> and * NICK) line up.

Yeah I agree. Make sure it's not too wide, though.

Yeah good point, and L Console does seem a little wide. Maybe you could mess with letter-spacing for that.

Yeah that could work. Else, if it wasn't for lack of certain chars or copyright issue,s he could just use TI fonts. :P

Another idea is Fyxedis. They look like SNES characters.

Monospaced fonts is a great idea. You could make it Courier New.

I had the TI-83P font on there for about 12 seconds, it looked horrible.

Speaking of horrible, all the web-safe sans serif monospaced fonts suck.

And even more:


[07:53:14] <+Frey> Y'know, when people descend from my heavens , they're never Chuck Norris
[07:53:55] <+Frey> I usually get another catgirl or an angel pops down for a visit
[07:54:06] <+Frey> Some angels are really nice
[07:54:33] <+Frey> Some are into the whole "scare the locals" bit
[07:54:54] <+Frey> And some just absent minded
[07:55:38] * +david_ has nothing to do
[07:55:40] <+Frey> It's the absentminded ones you gotta look out for, because the'yre the ones that forget they're 40ft tall
[07:56:04] <+Frey> They're also the ones that forget about social taboos, like nudity
[07:56:28] <+Frey> Have you ever tryed to explain to an angel...anything?
[07:56:45] <+Frey> They don't listenunless they want to
[07:57:16] <+Frey> And don't learn unless they think they don't know
[07:57:51] <+Frey> Except for the nice ones, they're nice
[07:59:27] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<yrinfish> lol
[07:59:32] <+Frey> And they're all so pretty!
[07:59:38] <+Frey> It's ridiculous
[07:59:44] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<yrinfish> I hate PUSHES, THEY HAUNT ME
[08:00:06] <+Frey> Want an angel to come over and exorcise them?
[08:00:36] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<yrinfish> or, more specific: the fact that sometimes, happy outputs: pushes != pops
[08:00:47] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<yrinfish> I know why
[08:01:01] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<yrinfish> and I can solve it by adding a lookahead
[08:01:10] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<yrinfish> But I don't want to
[08:01:24] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<yrinfish> but continue your story
[08:01:35] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<yrinfish> lol
[08:03:13] <+Frey> Ok, so one day, I was walking to the school bus, and, long story short, got my life saved by an angel
[08:03:27] <+Frey> This one was a scary one
[08:03:42] <+Frey> Same height/age as me
[08:04:14] <+Frey> OMG She was the scariest person I had ever met
[08:04:28] <+Frey> She made the entire football team pee their pants
[08:04:43] <+Frey> I was so glad she was on my side
[08:05:04] <+Frey> Right up until she tryed to enter the bathroom with me
[08:05:37] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<yrinfish> lool
[08:05:45] <+Frey> After a muchness of arguing, I finally got through to her
[08:05:56] <+Patrick-D> is this a rap song?
[08:06:06] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<aeTIos> idk
[08:06:09] <+Frey> She tap danced outside my stall the entire time, though
[08:10:04] <+Frey> She was in all my classes too, which was weird, especially as they were all advanced courses and she joined in the middle of the semester
[08:10:28] <+Frey> Even the teachers were scared of her
[08:10:45] <+Frey> Note that she was gorgeous
[08:12:09] <+Frey> So, this angel and I, we managed to stop the apocalypse
[08:12:48] <+Frey> And she kissed me before going back,
[08:13:08] <+Frey> To heaven, but as it turns out that kiss sealed her to Earth
[08:13:47] <+Frey> We still don't know what to do

Monospaced fonts is a great idea. You could make it Courier New.
Courier New's pretty hard to read though. Looks cool and all but it's not really practical. (Pas experience with making my default OS font C New x.x)

Great idea!! What about the font called Monaco, I think it looks well.
Except that it's not really web-safe except on Macs. That's why I suggested it as a backup beside Lucida Console, which looks similar and is loaded by default on Windows, Macs, and Linux.

Lucida was far too wide, and reducing it at all made some characters overlap.

I'll see about font selecting. If I could read all system fonts in Javascript, that'd be awesome...

There's a font called Small Fonts, not monospace but it can be squeezed pretty small.

Idk if there's System on many comps either...

This is kind of related to the font. I feel like the spacing around the blue line on the left that separates the names and text is a little tight. From my staring, it would appear that there is only 1 pixel on either side of it. And what happens is that some names, (like calc84maniac), look like they run into it.

So, I don't know if it's possible, but one or two more pixels on both sides of it should clean it up nice :D

Edit:
    It's really only the left side that's the problem. The right side looks fine. (probably due to different text colors)
