forum Do any of you use certain fonts for certain characters, books, settings?

I'm writing a comic series. I like to write out the whole story through the dialogue then go back and edit.
Each main character has their own font and color.
I was just wondering if I was the only one.

No, I do it too occaisionally.

Nah! Lots of people do that for their characters. I used to do it but it got to be too much work in just a book-like format, but in comics it’s done all the time.

yep.

No, I usually just stick with whatever the default font is at. I can see how that would be neat for a comic but for what I'm writing it just seems like unnecessary extra work. Although, when I draw my characters, some of them have unofficial assigned colours for the sketch layer (Andor is purple, Ara is burgundy, Crispin is red, Gerard is green, etc).

I use different text colors for each character in a game I'm making. It helps me/players figure out who is saying what. This is super helpful, since there are 16 characters who could theoretically all be talking at the same time!

Only for this couple w/ very distinct handwriting for this one short story I wrote, but I generally dont.

I do this all the time! You're not alone :)

My conlang uses special accented characters (dotted letters, accent marks, etc.). Is there any way I can use them in Notebook?

I use a different font for thoughts/narration/speech, but I have too many characters for them to all have different fonts and still be legible. I do use speech bubble accents though, like a bunny themed character having little ears on the speech bubble shape

as for special characters, you might have to copy/paste, or check the tutorials section if someone else knows how.

I’m creating a webcomic and I’m doing the same as well! I think it would help make it clearer to the readers who’s talking

Sometimes in books when they switch the POV they also switch fonts
