Re: Changing the font size

Post by Talk19Zehn »

Just a thought:
Each typeface has its own weight. You cannot know who uses which system (for example: Windows, Ubuntu ...) and which typeface is used. Or which settings are adapted to personal needs.

What is your goal? Is it personal for you or general for your visitors?

Regards

Edit: There are licence-free font families that are not even included in Ubuntu, although they would be available.
Your question is therefore not easier to answer. Unfortunately, the goal on your part is, to a certain extent, unknown for me. :)

This has already been recommended and did not bring the desired result in the course of the questioner:
viewtopic.php?p=15783906#p15783906
Please see:
viewtopic.php?p=15783926#p15783926
From my point of view, information is missing from the OP.

How did you proceed to optimally apply the procedure in the systems? It would be really helpful, - thank you very much!

My apologies Talk19Zehn, I have sinned as a novice by not reading the entire topic. :oops:

I use this extension in several of my forums and it is very helpful for older people. ;)

Okay, that's right and I agree with you.
Font families are governed by CSS, but if you want to change it consistently, it can be difficult.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_t ... ft_Windows

A font with a different weight (for example: Verdana) will require more space in the logic. It is impossible to know what the requirements are on the visitor's or user's system.

TEST: Errors excepted | An example may look like this: prosilver

Code: Select all


/* font-family stylish
--------------------------------------------------------------- */
h1, h2, h3, h4, .solo,
dl.details,
.pagination li.active span,
.dropdown-extended .header,
.notification_list p.notifications_title,
li.header dt,
li.header dd,
.postbody h3,
.content,
.content p,
dl.faq,
p.author,
.notice,
.attachbox dt,
dl.file,
dl.file dt,
dl.thumbnail dd,
fieldset.polls,
fieldset.polls dd div,
fieldset,
input,
select,
select optgroup option,
textarea,
.message-box textarea,
a.button1, input.button1, input.button3, a.button2, input.button2,
a.forumtitle, a.topictitle,
.button {
	font-family: "Verdana", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
