Anyway to modify the RTE within the forum to add the 'Comic Sans MS' Font face with the rest of fonts currently available?

I assume (but am not certain) that the font choices included in the RTE are those that would work on all browsers on all systems.
Adding Comic Sans MS would only work on modern windows systems and those with the font installed.

Thanks Mikey but comic sans ms is widely supported... starting from Windows 2000. Now adays there is only a small percentage of people using less than windows 2000. On my forum I rarely see someone with windows 98 or an old version of Macintosh.

Anyways I have got it... and here is how to do it:

Files to edit:

functions/functions_format_post.asp
includes/RTE_iframe_select_font.asp

In the first file above, around line 208, you will see the fonts that are currently present. The first one is:

strMessage = Replace(strMessage, "", "<font face=""Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"">", 1, -1, 1)

Add this code after the above:

'Mod to add support for font comic sans ms
strMessage = Replace(strMessage, "[FONT=Comic Sans MS]", "<font face=""Comic Sans MS, Helvetica, sans-serif"">", 1, -1, 1)
'Mod ended

In the second file above (includes/RTE_iframe_select_font.asp), around line 70 you will see a table that has cells/rows for the fonts, the first one is:

<tr onMouseover="overItem(this)" onMouseout="outItem(this)" OnClick="mouseClick('Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif')" style="cursor: default;">
<td width="100%" class="pStyle" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arial</td>
</tr>

Add the following code after the above:

<tr onMouseover="overItem(this)" onMouseout="outItem(this)" OnClick="mouseClick('Comic Sans MS, Helvetica, sans-serif')" style="cursor: default;">
<td width="100%" class="pStyle" style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Comic Sans MS</td>
</tr>
