Font size

[bob k]

The new format looks great, but the font size has increased, which means the page won't fit on my screen now. It's a real pain to use horz scrolling to read a post.

Is that on all of the forum areas?

[bob k]

Yes, it is the whole forum

similar problem here, but just the forum view and actual threads

font size is ok for...
Ubuntu Linux Forums > Ubuntu Community Cafe > UbuntuForums Site Help > Font size
and 'additional options' section below where i'm writing this.

'Welcome' info is a size or two larger as well as the 'topic review' section

the forum view seems to be even larger than anywhere else.

What browser? What are your OS fonts and browser fonts set to? Also please provide a screenshot.

firefox
ppc

system fonts:
apps sans 8
desktop sans 8
window title sans 8
terminal monospace8
resolution says 85 but it's not acurate

firefox uses system settings for resolution
serif 9
serif 9
sans serif 9
monospace 9

I dont see a problem other then the windows is to little for the top navigation. in a 800x600 and higher mode the site is fine. It wasn't setup to work in smaller resolutions..

I can make some modifications to the top menu, but the site fonts are how they should be.

Oh sorry, maybe it's just the layout or something/me but this is the only forum I notice this.

I can't modify it anymore than i have from here otherwise I can't even read whats on other webpages... just my opinion but I do think the fonts could be easily a size or two smaller.

Do you mean in the screenshot how the fonts are "fuzzy" looking?

[trash]

No, i'm used to the fuzzies... i think this screen is like 20 years old lol
I think it is really just the size... example, your last post with 1 line of text took almost the entire browser window... I really think it's just a matter of taste thats all... i like things more compacted...actually what i always do now is decrease the text size in firefox view, just once is enough to make a big difference.:)

I made some changes to the default fonts.. I hope that will fix up some stuff..

top navigation bar looks great, i'm not noticing any other changes... there are no doubt better fonts i could be using which i haven't looked into at all... and then again I bet a new screen would make a big difference to hehe.
thanks so much eh, you guys have really done an awesome job here.

I figured it out. I've got the middle aged can't see sh*t, so I dropped my FireFox font size to 96 dpi @ 17 font that works pretty good. It was at default @ 18

I'm sure there are alot of people with my problem, that the fonts have to be large enough to read with a 1280 x 1024 display.

Anyway I have it where I need it
