What's in a Name?

So, I've been considering restyling my name lately. I have no idea if anyone else sees my sweet ass Japanese font that I use, but that doesn't bother me too much, since I like the look of it.
I just haven't been able to get a colour scheme down right. I was hoping someone here might have a suggestion. I tend to have my name reflect my current decks, so right now it's Jeskai in colour.
If anyone willing to help could provide a sample, or provide the code so that I can sample it myself I would be grateful.

I don't see any fancy typefaces in your name.
You may want to use a typeface that's more commonly recognized by browsers/computers. w3schools has a list of the general font families that are web safe (i.e., that are universal) here. CSS Font Stack has a more detailed list with actual compatibility breakdowns here. That's where I got the typeface that I use for my name and in my primers.

Yeah. You might want to find different font.

@ Luutamo what about the swirly things around your name?

You can make that with border-radius. For example, my first letter has:
border-left: 1px double #ccffff; border-radius: 50%; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccffff;

There's a lot more to it than that. Border can be top and right, border can be dotted, dashed, doubled, embedded, squared, oval, and many more. I found most of it out by looking at the tutorial for scroll box borders.

True that. And if used I think it would be preferable to do something little different with it. It kind of looses its meaning if everyone has it the same way :)

Also, firefox and chrome will see different things when you alter the border. I have dotted borders right now, but firefox doesn't see that.

And it gets even more interesting if you're running an older version of almost any browser :) With old firefox mine looks more like electricity than swirls.

Oh and if anyone knows how to do those fancy swirly things, I'd appreciate that too.
