[opencms-dev] font size

[Alex Kandzior]

Hi Reiner,

this is a problem with the style sheet used in the workplace. The fonts we
have choosen is ok in MS Windows (about 8pt size), but with X Windows it
seems to appear much to small. 

This might be fixed by editing the style sheet in 
[OpenCms Tree] /system/workplace/css/format.css
You must logon as "Admin" to have acces to this directory.

Entrys there look like this:

P
{
    FONT-FAMILY: MS Sans Serif, Arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
    FONT-SIZE: 8px;
    TEXT-INDENT: 15px
}

Possible solution might be to set a specific "right sized" font first that
normally is not found in MS, but with X. The MS setup will then ignore this
and take the next font in the list.

This would then look like this
P
{
    FONT-FAMILY: [X-Only-Font], MS Sans Serif, Arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
    FONT-SIZE: 8px;
    TEXT-INDENT: 15px
}

Other solutions are possible. If anyone finds a solution to this problem
please mail it to me or to this mailing list. 

Regards,
Alex.
