Change post font

[TheAvenger]

I just need to know how to change the post font.

[nextgen]

open your content.css and find:

Code: Select all

.content {
	min-height: 3em;
	overflow: hidden;
	line-height: 1.4em;
	font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
	font-size: 1em;
	color: #333333;
	padding-bottom: 1px;
}

Depending on the font you want, this line is handled by that option font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

Thank you very much it worked! Anyway i have a small question. I'm testing my forum on a localhost and i created a personal CSS for my graphics (i started from "prosilver special edition" as the basic style), but often when i modify css. files to bring changes, the CSS (CSS of Themes in ACP) returns to be that of prosilver_se, so all changes i did for my graphics disappear. I just want to know why it happens.

Can't see changes editing styles? Changes have disappeared?

Thanks for posting that, but i still don't understand.. so the ACP editor doesn't update changes on file system and we lose our edits, but what is file system? And so, how can i update my edits without losing nothing?

Update your files and download them directly from the ftp

what is file system?

Your filesystem is whatever folder on your localhost your board is installed into. You edit the CSS files directly with your Notepad++

@Brf: thanks i understand.

Update your files and download them directly from the ftp

Yea but it's exactly what i always did. I don't change my .css files from ACP editor, but directly from filesystem with Dreamweaver. But i always lose my edits with the refresh function. Anyway i saw this option in "Load settings":

Code: Select all

Recompile stale style components:
Check for updated style components on filesystem and recompile.

This is set on "No", what about if i set it on "Yes"? It could be the solution against the loss of edits?

[nextgen]

Use Notepad++

The loss is because they do not make changes accordingly.

You edit the CSS files directly with your Notepad++

He has given you an instruction must do.
It is not difficult

I modify the files directly with Dreamweaver, aren't Notepad++ and Dreamweaver the same thing at least?

They are not the same, notepad++ is special to read codes.
Dreamweaver is more oriented design.

Ok thanks for the information. But i think the problem doens't change, 'cos even if i edit files with Notepad++ from filesystem, i'll always need to use refresh button and consequently i'll lose the changes. So? Sorry if i appear insistent but i'm a phpBB beginner and this fact it's very important for me.

i'll always need to use refresh button and consequently i'll lose the changes.

I don't understand you. Why would you loose the changes then? Did you try it that way?

1. Edit files using Notepad++
2. Upload files to your server using FileZilla
3. Refresh styles Template/Theme

Yes man, it's exactly what i do. The only difference? I use Dreamweaver and a lot of people said me Notepad++ and Dremweaver are the same thing at least, so i think we should use the one which seems look better to us. I'm almost sure that if i'd use Notepad++ i'm gonna get the same problem. But wait a moment, i'm reading the support documentation and this piece attracted my attention:

Code: Select all

Note
After you change a style through the filesystem, remember to Purge the cache. To do this, press the appropriate button on the ACP index page.

Well, i've never purged the cache when i edited my files, i just pushed the refresh button. Is this the problem? I must purge the cache to not lose my changes?
