While working on the CSS Square combination, I added support for the $font value, and I noticed that the Table Square combination was not supporting it. So, I gave it proper support, added a font menu to the form for customizing an ongoing game for both Table and CSS methods, and made some changes to the font selections. While leaving some support for fonts people have used, I removed unused fonts, deprecated little used fonts, and added some new fonts. The deprecated fonts are supported for backwards compatibility, but they are not featured as options. The removed or deprecated fonts included some decorative fonts and some from CD ROM collections, and the new fonts were mainly serif or sans-serif fonts from Google fonts. Some of the new fonts include Literata and Noto Sans, which are the serif and sans-serif fonts used throughout this site. Because each page loads these fonts, they should always work with the Table or CSS method even if you don't have them installed. Also, Courier will use the loaded Courier Prime font. But other fonts will not work with the Table or CSS methods unless you have them installed. In case you don't have them installed, some include some lookalikes in the font list. Notably, the Table method had been using Noto Sans by virtue of not using the chosen font. So, if you got used to that font, you may want to switch your font to Noto Sans. I also added a System-UI option, which is not a specific font. It will use the UI System font on your computer, and for GIF, JPG, and PNG boards, it will use Noto Sans, which is effectively the UI System font for this website.
