I have noticed that on the ruby red wiki that you are renovating that you managed to install custom fonts. I have made two requests to the wiki staff and I have had no response. Any tips on the right person to go to about this problem? Chrestomanci (Talk) 09:28, October 18, 2015 (UTC)
K, now I'm gonna say something that's probably unpleasant lol. I mean, I wish I would have come to this conclusion sooner so it would save us all the trouble, but anyways it's just an idea so here goes:
I tested out the method you used on this wiki (the one trying to import font from TLCW) on my test wiki, tbh, I'm seriously not exactly sure if it had actually worked; I mean, the font did change, but did it changed to the correct font? That was when I realized, the font we agreed on, wasn't exactly super unique; (the IM thingy you imported, I think that was another issue; that one I think it simply was not imported correctly, or if it was, I wasn't seeing it cuz now I'm pretty sure this whole time I was just seeing Times New Roman) but yeah, then I looked back to the reason why the font was picked, and that supposedly the font it looked like, -roman/ was said to be the font that's actually used... Looking at it now, I feel that if the font size isn't large enough, it really could be just mistaken as any other serif fonts, and I just don't think it's worth spending so much time on something that might not even be noticed.
So I switched to another approach, look for the other known font featured on the cover... -series-333-jy/yan-roman-jy/ And that was when I got annoyed cuz I seriously thought you can literally find anything for free on the Internet... Apparently not for this one. Worse is that, I guess due to its characteristics, I actually couldn't find anything remotely close to it like how we could for the serif font. Feeling extremely frustrated, I was like, "you know what; let's not try to find a copycat font, it's okay not to be perfect" lmao. So I looked for fonts that do not necessarily resemble to either of the cover fonts, but ones that kind of give feelings of mixture between the both. I am NOT saying any of the results are the best dang fonts ever, but I think they are distinguishable enough that if being used, people could def. tell the fonts are changed.
Sammm I was wondering whether you have noticed that the font being used on the titles is actually times new roman. I checked what was happening by the Inspector in Mozilla Firefox and whilst it does import the font. I then decides not to use it. I have a suspicion this is to do with compatability or some built anti-browser code.Instead I think we should instead use the font that we used on the main page headers since it looks quite good and we know that it works with all browser without any absurd problems. Let me know what you think but I think it should get rid of the font problem completely.

When Common.css is loaded, @imports have to be at the top of Common.css instead of Wikia.css. Imports ONLY work if they are at the top of the CSS file. Wikia minifies all CSS files together and Common.css is the beginning of that combined file... so @imports will only work there.
Century Theatres is a movie theatre chain formerly known as "SyuFy Luxury Theatres". They operate many multiplexes in the western United States, primarily in California, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona. In its later years, it had expanded into the inter-mountain states, the Pacific Northwest, Texas, Alaska and parts of the Midwest. Founded in 1941, the chain was headquartered in San Rafael, California until it was acquired by Cinemark Theatres from Plano, Texas in 2006. Many now-Cinemark-owned theatres continue to operate under the Century brand.
Visuals: On a blue background, the viewer sees the Century Theatres text in an orange to yellow gradient, then the ticket to excellence flies in front of the logo, and into the theatre. The viewer sees buckets of popcorn, and when it becomes hot, it then flies into a cup of Coca-Cola and out again, with boxes of Junior Mints and Oscar Mayer hot dogs seen in the background. The ticket flies to the Starcade to say hi to another ticket playing an arcade game, then brakes in front of the entrance to the theatre room with a yellow triangular sign that says "Quiet Zone Ahead". A Dolby Stereo poster is seen to the left in a frame before the ticket flies into the theatre. The ticket is shot into the screen, and it flies by a gift certificate, a matinee coupon, and a clapboard about the five day advance sales before the viewer is back to where the trailer started.
Availability: It has been seen in all Century theatres during the time, and was part of Century's logo montage during the last showing of Raiders of the Lost Ark at Century 21 before it closed.
Visuals: A Dolby logo appears on the screen with the text "SOUND FOR THE NEXT CENTURY" shown below. The viewer sees a top-down shot of the Earth, then a meteor flies by. It explodes in the distance and flashes into the Century Theatres text in the Septimus font. The text "The Best Seat for the 21st Century" appears below, which then fades to the "OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION" text.
Visuals: A Dolby logo appears on the screen with the text "SOUND FOR THE NEXT CENTURY" shown below. The curtains unravel to reveal that they are actually searchlights. The searchlights then move into place to form the text "Century" and then flashes to show the finished logo in the Septimus font. The URL to their website appears below, then fades to the "OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION" text.
Technique: CGI produced by Wild Brain. Director Charlie Canfield wanted to avoid making an overly loud opening, and limited his storyboard to key scenes. Carlos Baena animated the opening directly in Maya 2.5, using geometry layered with texture maps. Andrew Feder and Chris Green composited the opening with Shake. Gray Horsfield and John Volny were technical directors and additional animators.
Visuals: Against a teal-green background, a pair of searchlights appear and move across each other. A starscape appears as the lights meet in the center of the screen. A third, dimmer, mirror light appears, reflecting a stainglass floor motif made up of various star and pentagon shapes. The camera pans down and to the right, revealing the teal background as being the surface of a planet. A film projector flies out alongside the camera to the left of the floor, which is now against a black space background. As the planet disappears from view, the projector begins displaying a white light through the floor and onto a curtain which is decorated with various movie paraphernalia. As the camera moves to center on the curtain, the curtain unfurls to reveal an orange-tinted light which engulfs the screen before flashing out to show the same Century Theatres logo as in the 2nd trailer, but in white. A smaller light shines around and across the logo before the words "The Best Seat for the 21st Century" fade in underneath the logo. The logo and text then fade out as the new text "Now Our Feature Presentation" fades in, and holds briefly before fading out.
Visuals: Against a starry night background, a pair of spotlights move back and forth across the screen. A letter "C" flies out from the right side of the screen and positions itself on the left. The rest of the words "Century Theaters" then wipe in from the right of the "C". The text disappears as the phrase "Your Best Choice For Great Motion Picture Entertainment!" wipes in from the centre of the screen. The words slide out as "The Capitol Theatre" slides in. Once positioned, the text "The Best Movies From The Past!" wipes in underneath. The image holds for five seconds before the trailer fades out.
