Actually, most of you questions are covered in the docs, but I'll provide links here...

There's no stupid people.... only stupid questions. lol

You need to use a Plugin to change the font. Then you can create a Quicktag to call the plugin when editing a wiki page.

Again, looks like a plugin is what you need. Or if you prefer, simply select the Allow HTML in the Wiki Configuration page.

> Like: IfI knew the answers to the above, maybe I would want to have a new Quicktage to implement the answer. What ( since I'm sure there is one) is the manner and process for creating a new Quicktag?

Quicktags are just a library of wiki syntax. You can create custom Quicktags to call your plugins.

> Like: Since I have done some HTML coding in my chequered past, is there a means of dropping HTML code into a page and if so, what tags are permiited and what is the syntax? This would be while being a coward and using the quick editor to massage the page.

Again, you could select the Allow HTML in the Wiki Configuration page. This allows you specify what types of HTML tags to allow in a wiki page.

> Like: As an extension of the above, if it was preferred not to use the Quick Editor, is there an alternativ or full HTML editor mode that can be used?

I'm not sure what you mean by a "full HTML editor mode"? Do you mean for wiki pages? Or HTML page?
