Default Letter type

I have searched the f.a.q. but did not find the answer.

Problem: in site there are different letter types, is there a point where you can set all the lettertypes the same, tried skinn css but there are standing different letter types / sherrif / sans/ arial etc.

In embedded level i can change this with wysiwyg editor. but my main probleem is : cart and bestsellers.

Hope you can help and if this question has been on this forum, sorry but i could not find it (used also f.a.q. search)

Default Re: Letter type

You mean fonts I assume? Remember, with fonts no matter what you specify, they will only display if the customer has them on their computer, so you are pretty limited. You can certainly specify some funky font, but if it isn't on the users computer it will default to something else like Arial. Have a look at this:

You can specify all fonts in your skin1.css file.

Moving to Template Editing.

Hi there,

CSS is the way to control this - check which style sheet is being used for those two templates using either "webmaster mode" or "view source" (alternatively add in your own additional styles if need be).

Note also that different browsers often use a different variation of the specified font (this can not always be controlled) - so it is not always possible to get fonts to show identically in all browsers (the pleasures of the internet ).
This issue of different fonts is also sometimes linked to languages e.g. traditional Chinese font a browser uses by default, is different, than the font it uses for simplified Chinese (and this is over-written by the browser itself and it seems and that it is not controllable via CSS in those instances).

Hope comments help... cheers, Asiaplay

PS: alternative is using an image (and alt text for search engines) if you want fonts to show exactly in a certain format (based on server fonts) - there is a php option for dynamic converting to images on the server side e.g. "Cerdmann" module (search forums and you will get details on this).
