Why does Facebook say page not available?
If you want to write in bold on Facebook, use italics, underline the text or be as original as possible and use completely different fonts than usual, you have found the article you were looking for.
But, first of all, you must take into account a very important aspect. The methods to write bold on Facebook or use any other type of font are not available natively on the social network.
Not all fonts are worth
To be able to write in bold on Facebook we must resort to third-party applications, third-party applications that invite us to write the text, select the format we want to finally copy and paste it on Facebook or any other application.
This is because each operating system uses a unique typeface for the entire operating system. As you may have seen, and if I didn't tell you, all the applications on your device, managed by Android or iOS, use the same font.
All apps use the same font to display text. The same thing happens on Windows, macOS, and Linux. There is a single font for the entire system.
This does not mean that other fonts cannot be used, however, if those fonts are not available or recognized by the system, the text will not be displayed correctly.
Question marks or black boxes will be displayed instead. The same thing happens when someone sends us emoticons that are not available on our device.
Some of the options that I show you in this article to write in bold on Facebook, in italics or using symbols, allow us to check if that font is compatible with the operating system where it is going to be displayed.
In desktop operating systems (Windows, macOS and Linux) we will not have any problem when it comes to seeing the text in the font that we have used. However, on mobile devices, it will be much more complicated to correctly see the different fonts that we can use.
How to write in bold on Facebook
The options available to write in bold, italics, crossed out, underlined, with balloons... available are very varied and range from web pages to applications for mobile devices.
In this way, if we regularly use a computer and a mobile phone or tablet to publish on Facebook, we are not going to encounter any limitations or be forced to use only one platform or another.
YayText
We start with YayText. YayText is one of the most complete web pages to format the text that we want to publish on Facebook or any other social network.
In addition, it allows us to check, before using one or the other, if that font will be displayed correctly on mobile devices, since, as I mentioned above, we will not have any problem on computers.
YayText's operation is more than simple. To format a text with bold, italics, underlined, crossed out, with emoticons... we must carry out the following steps:
- First of all, we visit the web through this link.
- Next, we go to the text box and write the text (forgive the redundancy) that we want to format.
- Next, we scroll down and look for the option we want. In this case it would be Bold (serif) or Bold (sans).
- Just to the right of the font name, click on the Copy button to store it on the clipboard.
- Next, we open Facebook to make a post and paste the text.
Once we have pasted the text, we can continue writing without bold both before and after the text that we have pasted.
fsymbols
Another of the web pages that we have at our disposal to format in bold the text that we want to publish on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp or any other platform is Fsymbols.
To write in bold on Facebook with Fsymbols we perform the following steps:
- First of all, we visit the Fsymbols website through this link.
- Next, we go to the text box and write the text to format.
- Next, we scroll down and look for the option that we like the most.
- Just to the right of each option, we find the Copy button. When clicking on that button, the text will be copied in its format to the clipboard of our device.
- Finally, we must open the Facebook application (or any other where we want to use it) and paste the text.
Once we have pasted the text, we can continue writing without bold both before and after the text that we have pasted.
Unlike YayText, we cannot check if the format we have selected will be displayed correctly on all mobile devices.
Fsymbols puts at our disposal a large number of symbols and kaomojis to share in our messages. All available symbols are arranged in categories, which makes it very easy to quickly find the one you are looking for.
Fonts: Font and typeface for Instagram
If you post to your social networks primarily from your mobile, the option of using a web page is probably not ideal. The solution for using the Fonts app: Font & Typeface for Instagram.
Although the name of the application shows the word Instagram, as I have mentioned several times in this article, formatting the text through the web pages that I have commented above or using this application is valid for any platform.
This application puts at our disposal a wide variety of fonts to format the text of our publications in a very simple and fast way.
To format the text we want to publish, we must perform the following steps:
- We open the application and write the text to format.
- Next, we select the font we want to use.
- Once selected, we press the Copy button to almenarla the clipboard of our device.
- Finally, we open Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or any application from where we want to make the publication and paste the text.
This application works from Android 5.0. It is available for download completely free of charge, includes ads and in-app purchases. It has an average rating of 4,7 stars out of a possible 5 after receiving more than 450.000 reviews.
