Little bit confused

[zoki]

In my template, for YabbSe board, I use x-small for most of the font sizes. That looks ok in IE and Opera. However, I checked it out in Mozilla, and text in body of any post is smaller than it should be.

I'm kinda confused. Which font-size should be used?

I see nobody's answering. I searched boards a little bit, and found some useful tips of Michele at this topic.

Basically, I removed all font sizes from the document template except for the body part in css declaration. I put font-size: small there.

So it shows up ok in Opera and Mozilla, but in IE, I still have some big letters showing up, like number of topics and posts in BoardIndex. Also, when viewing a topic, body of a message is all big letters. It is annoying, especially because of the fact that most visitors use IE.

So I had to put back old template with fixed font sizes declared on various places in template.php. I would really like to make this "remove all font sizes except for the body part in template.php" thing work.

Unfortunately, you'll never get it perfect. YaBB SE has a lot of hard-coded fonts in it, and due to the way IE handles inheritance, it doesn't quite work the way it's supposed to.

We're all waiting for SMF because I'm 90% sure they got rid of the hard-coded fonts in it, then we can all upgrade and then fix our templates.

Good luck, Michele

Yeah... It kinda sux cause most of the visitors use IE and for now I gotta leave it with all the hard coded fonts :/

So I guess a lesson for everybody is "always use scalable font sizes, like small, medium and large".

Thanks for reply, Michele.
