To Fix Fonts

[Tuthmes]

Well, how can I be of help?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Can we all just agree that Ch3t's a font grump and has eyes that don't function properly?

 

[Clown]

I wonder if he is a formatting grump too.​

 

[dysfunction]

This current font now is no good at all. I find it really hard to read...
I'd rather have the font Wazzer uses than this.

Verdana is a big-ish font.

 

[old.Osy]

Calibri ftw.

*Don't mind me.

 

[Wij]

Calibri is tiny :/

 

[MYstIC G]

Looks better thanks

It's awful.

 

[Wij]

You're awful

...

Bit I like you *mince*

 

[MYstIC G]

All backed out, guys, you need to help me play on the testforums if everyone is going to be happy...

You sure you got this sorted T because on the Football season thread the boxes for the thread pages now don't fit the numbers and are too small.

 

[MYstIC G]

^ that is also now busted.

 

[dysfunction]

Trebuchet MS is a good font to use

Or even Arial font...

Or Verdana font is pretty good too

 

[dysfunction]

Cambria is also good font

 

[Deebs]

Right,

Testing can take place on the testforums. I will start a PC with the details.

The only thing I changed was the font size and body. They are back to how they were so I need to look into the CSS that generates those boxes.

I do not see that.

Right,
I didn't completely backout the changes. It is still set to Verdana when it originally was Tahoma! So let me set it back to Tahoma then the forums are back to what the font was when I migrated.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Bumpedybump! Any progress?

 

[Deebs]

You tell me! You lot are whinging and moaning.

 

[Ch3tan]

Disable font size changes by twats already Deebs!!!

 

[Wazzerphuk]

I posted on the test forums! Why can't we just have different font style as options as we do there?

 

[MYstIC G]

Why can't we just change settings in our browsers if we like Verdana so much, huh?

It adds large amounts of time to the rebuilding of caches whenever I then have to make changes to certain areas of the backend. This causes a blank white page for a length of time that I do not want on these live forums.

 

[dysfunction]

We need a poll or something to finalise this I reckon

 

[Wazzerphuk]

I already do, but these forums don't use that setting. They use their own font settings.

Fair enough.

 

[MYstIC G]

Then untick the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts" setting and be done!

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Which works for changing the font itself, but then the font size is still too big. If I change the font sizes it changes my text size, but leaves yours as too big. So it still doesn't solve the issue of the font being too big compared to everything else on the internet.

 

[MYstIC G]

Press Ctrl & - on your keyboard!

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Why not just set the font size in line with the rest of the internet? Why force people to zoom out to bring it into consistent line? Also, zooming out makes the text slightly smaller than the Pt.3 fonts here, so that's not a good enough resolution as the jump is too big.

 

[MYstIC G]

Why force everyone to have a change of font size when you're the one it bugs?

These and the answers to 1000 other questions, god knows when
