Font is too small (3) or Font is too big (4)

I am using a defalt skin with dnn for my site, www.deltabg.com, and when I change the text in a text editor (doesn't matter what module) and select Font size 3 the font is very small and hard to read. When I select font size 4 it is too large and appears to be bolded text even though it is not.

Any tips to get around this? I tried selecting different styles, etc... but nothing seems to work well. To see it for yourself, go to my site. The first page is setup with (3) and the "Services" tab is setup with (4) as a fontsize.

I found one work around to this and have answered my own question, but I don't know if it is the best solution. I key the text into MS Word and format it (size, font, etc.) and then paste it into the DNN editor.

The downside is that I suspect I am getting a bit of Word HTML. I suspect I could view the code as HTML and try to change it that way, but I would rather not enter my data in HTML code.

At least I found one work around - let me know if you have other suggestions or if I am just doing something wrong.

I also found it frustrating to have the fonts the way they are in the default skins, the dramatic difference between size 3 and 4, and is not consistent when you use Bold from Regular text. You may also notice that size and even font types changes when you indent using the editor.  This is a desired effect usually, but I had my own preferences for the fonts.

I think the proper way is to set your preferences by editing the Style Sheet (portal.css)   It would apply to the entire site, for fonts, size, effects, color, etc.

I have not done it in my DNN 3 portals yet, but I did make changes in my DNN2 portals some time back. I went through and adjusted the font types and sizes throughout.  It takes little time to work through the entire style sheet for the site to look right when using various fonts and indenting, but it is well worth the effort in the long run because then you get your preferences for each module and in editing text.   Make a copy of the portal.css and work with it.

I am about to go through this exercise again soon on a DNN3 site.    Hopefully this is the correct method... works for me. :)

After thinking about it a little further.... I think you would want to work with the skin.css under the skin folder instead of portal.css. Better yet, possibly make a copy of the skin, edit the style sheet in it, and load the skin again under different name, so the original stays as is.

Just what i did eventually. In some cases, i skipped the fancy editor and jumped right into the html pane. Here I'll put a font size tag and remove any (way to many) 's. I know the font tag is the old method, but it's a work around for muck-ups, before optimizing skins and containers in portals/_default/skins (or containers).

I have to agree with this suggestion. This enables you to set your page style by switching to any specific skin - side benefit: so you can go through an upgrade, switch to your desired skin and you are good to go again.

Jesper,

I'm doing what you're doing. I noticed that the HTML generated by the text editor will include font tags for all the font sizes except for size 3. Example:

sample text 5

sample text 3

sample text 3

sample text 2

sample text 1

If you set the font to size 3, the editor doesn't put font tags around that text. Conseqently, "sample text 3" appears very small. I have to go into the HTML view and manually put in .

Does anybody know why the Text Editor does this? It seems that this should be a quick and easy fix in the programming of DNN
