: Re: Using font to highlight a god's speech in dialogue At one point in my story, the characters are addressed by a god. In the ensuing dialogue, this god has a more archaic way of speaking, but

I would strongly urge you to AVOID FORMATTING to convey meaning around the text or dialog in a novel. I would encourage using words to describe the text or dialog, and to convey your intended meaning or emphasis.

Special formatting may be difficult for persons with disabilities, or people using text-to-speech tools, or automated voice synthesis. The formatting may be dropped or not translated as intended. If this were an audio book, then possibly the narrator could break into a separate voice for this specially formatted text, but in many cases, there isn't the luxury to have a narrator available, and other programmatic processes may skip or misunderstand the formatting for your intended purpose.
