Okay, well, I want to submit a story in letter format, and I want the font to reflect the character's REAL handwriting. So, am I allowed to use unique fonts? And does it actually work if I submit the story? Or does the handwriting switch to a default automatically?

Just want to say, beforehand, thanks to anyone that responds. ^u^

You are 100% allowed to use a different font for formatting!

The way the new submission system works is, it should copy over from Word. Just format your document how you want it to be, then copypaste.

Now, the possibility exists the handwriting font won't copy over. That's more likely from a glitch in the system than anything else.
