Forum font size
Posted: Sun May 26, 2024 5:06 pm
I like this style, DVGFX, but I've been finding the font sizes pretty anal, especially in the [ code ] [ /code ] tag fields.
So I gave it a slight bump of 5%, globally, in the default DVGFX style. I didn't touch the Prosilver ones, or the DVGFX-fixedwidth (which was actually how the style was, I changed it... that should be up to the client)
You will most likely have to Shift-Refresh in your browser to banish the old .css, browsers are extremely stubborn with those files.
A slight bump like that shouldn't hurt anything, but if anybody notices anything outside of margins or truncated or anything, please let me know.
I also may be guilty of adjusting things because they look shitty with MY fonts. I don't have "arial" or "Trebufuckingchet" or any stupid Windows fonts, it's font substitutions and styles for me.
Sound off if you don't like this (or anything I do for that matter).

Why globally? Because this .css is silly. First they start out like this:
Great, I'm on board with that.
Then they go and do this:
So then, right off the hop they are scaling the fonts to 62.5%, then they proceed to fuck with that using various syntax (px, percent, or for example 1.3em with corresponding line heights) and some of it inheriting. So it's just easier to bump it to 67.5% (I may even cut that down a few percent yet if it's too big for others' display and font configuration) in the body stanza where it will be relative)

Code: Select all
html {
font-size: 100%;
/* Always show a scrollbar for short pages - stops the jump when the scrollbar appears. non-IE browsers */
height: 101%;
}Then they go and do this:
Code: Select all
body {
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 62.5%;
line-height: normal;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
word-wrap: break-word;
-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;
}
