Font/Text size problem Fixed. A 'get-around' that's worked for me

pinkpanther · Jun 3, 2008

I'm posting this in case it help's anyone else with the same problem.

I've had problem with font size for yonks, but finally decided to address
the problem but ended up making things worse; text was my chosen verdana in
design view but in display (and published) was Times new roman... plus still
had big font! Ugh! I posted on this forum and had some generous replies but
fairly 'geeky' and I was getting more and more in a mess - bigtime.

NOTE : First of all, I was making a tiny, BIG mistake in that when I went
to "format - style - modify - format - font", I was clicking for font size
on "10px" instead of "10pt" . (B_I_G difference!)

It still does this 'large font times new roman' thingy but I have found a
'get-around' that seems to be working perfectly.

Went to 'Format - style -modify' and to ALL of the p, hr, l, etc. did
'format - font' changing them all to verdana and 10 pt. (made sure all my
other messes of trials had been cleaned out of the code).

As I always make and use a .dwt template I have copied and pasted this lump
of code into the .dwt page (inside 'header' region of code) and so all pages
I make, once they have been put into the template, are just great!

I don't know if this will work for your sites but this is how the code is
(for a page that has nothing written in it yet - for clarity) and if you
want you can just change the size and font of any of them inside your code
view:

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-gb">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 1</title>
<style>

</style>
</head>

<body>

</body>

</html>

Hope this is helpful

Pt sizes are not for use on the web, they are for print.
