CSS - Changing Fonts (and Related Settings ) In Wordpress
I am using wordpress for my blog/site. I am using Freshnews theme from woothemes as the theme for the blog.
Here is the link: demo.woothemes.com/freshnews The font is not that good and it is way too small and the spacing is bad (too congested). How do I change the fonts, size, spacing (line and paragraph) throughout the blog. I know I would have to change it somewhere in the stylesheet. But where exactly and how? And what are the ways to get this done? Should I install a font somewhere? Should I use webfonts (like google webfonts)? What is the advantage in using this? or what are the other ways? Similar TutorialsHello all! Is there a way to set a resolution % for a certain type of resolution size and any above that resolution to another specific % For example I want it to be: 1024x 768 : width : 90%; and anything higher than 1024x 768 to be 80% since 90% on a resolution higher than 1024 for my navigation is just too make of a banner. Please help/advice. Regards, Kingofqueens. Hello Again, My new site design for www.everything.ie is finally coming together mostly due to the great help I've been getting here. The next little problem I need help with is this. Have a look here first: http://www.grahamvard.com/everything.html Look at the headings for the catagories (grey background with red writing). I'm trying to replicate them on my test site but can't quite get it right. Look here to see my attempts: http://www.eveythingfree.buildtolea...fieds/index.php It's basically alright but I want to make the grey headings boxes bigger so they occupy almost the full width of the 3 columns just like in the example page. Because this part of the page is controled by a php script which generates the text and layout, the only thing I can alter is the style sheet in this case the heading font, .cfmaincat Here's the piece of the .css that controls the heading: Code: .cfmaincat {
FONT-SIZE: 11px;
COLOR: #cc0000;
FONT-STYLE: normal;
FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
TEXT-DECORATION: none;
background-color: #e9e9e9;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
I can't work out what I need to change to fix this, I really hope some of you can. I'm sure it's fairly straightforward, I just don't know what to do. I tried increasing the padding but because the length of words of the heading vary, so too do the grey boxes generated this way. I need them to be all the same size, like in the design example. Many Thanks, Robert I've got an image placed inside a div tag where the div is set to a height and width of 100%. The div has a "fixed" position with a "left" value set to "-36px", which ensure's it shows up exactly where I want it to. Everything that I setup in the style sheet works fine with Firefox 1.5x; the problem - big surprise - is that it doesn't work at all in IE6. Basically what's happening in IE is that the scroll bars are still showing up (which I don't want to happen) and it doesn't appear to be recognising the negative-positioning either. I'm just now learning to use div tags so there's probably some trick I haven't figured out yet. Here's the code I'm using. Code:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body, html {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #566f5f;
background-image: url(images/bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
text-align: center;
}
#myTable {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
position: fixed;
left: -36px;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="myTable"><img src="images/picture.jpg" width="1071" height="738" border="0" usemap="#Map" />
<map name="Map" id="Map">
<area shape="poly" coords="812,437,828,463,1038,409,1018,390" href="mailto:info@email_address.com" alt="Contact Us" />
</map></div>
As I mentioned, it works great in FF but not in IE. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions it would be a massive help Thanks! I need to change some page setup setting for print like orientation, headers and footers Is it possible to define it in CSS. I've found out that IE and Firefox both handle CSS page structure differently. I have a CSS container of width: 740px Height: 960px and IE prints the page with extra spaces at the top and bottom while this same setting is a bit short both width and height wise in Firefox. How do I compensate for both two browsers by using the same CSS file? I don't want to create different CSS for each browser. I have FF 2.0 and IE 7. However, I assumed many of my users will still be using IE6. Any help is appreciated. Hi, I've been struggling for a long time now about how to create a CSS menu with opacity of whatever rating. If anyone can help me out by telling me how or a good code source place please please let me know. I found a software which costs a $139 and i really feel its not worth it. So if someone can please help me out. Thanks. Happy New Year! I'm having issues with my website in progress, http://www.vilardojardim.com/about.html Everything seems to be displaying fine in Firefox, Safari and Explorer 8.0.6, but the IE 'Compatibility View Settings' makes the layout go all wiggy. Is there any way of automatically turning this off? Or, can someone help me out with a way to adjust the CSS to avoid the problem altogether? Thanks in advance for any assistance. I have done my best to GOOGLE this problem but am not coming up with anything. I'm fairly certain that there is some setting/code that I need to add in CSS that would make this error go away. When I view my site in INTERNET EXPLORER, the main content box is shoved down almost below the sidebar/nav menu. The site works fine in FIREFOX & CHROME. I was hoping someone could help me. I have attached a picture of what it looks like in IE. Hi, I have the definition of the <body> tag in my external CSS file as follows: body { background:URL("fundo5.gif"); scrollbar-arrow-color: yellow; scrollbar-base-color: black; scrollbar-dark-shadow-color: yellow; scrollbar-track-color: green; scrollbar-face-color: blue; scrollbar-shadow-color: white; scrollbar-highlight-color: silver; scrollbar-3d-light-color: black; } However, this settings do get displayed on IE 6.0 Do I have to set any other properties so that I can change the colors of the scrollbar? thanks in advance Daniel I would like to know if anyone has done something like this - I need to have the look and feel of a site totally configurable through a web interface. All data is going to be stored in a database and I would like to know whether I can autogenerate or update a style sheet based on data from a database. Has anyone done this? Or is this the wrong approach to take in such a case? I also have several clients using the same site, each needing to have their own configurations. I would like to avoid having to have a separate style sheet for each client if possible. Can the properties in a stylesheet be set dynamically on a session per session basis? I was wondering how I can set a font that others may not have on there computer. I know I can set a font folder for my site but how do I link to that so that if the viewer doesn't have the font so it will still display correctly for them too? What type of font extension should I put in there? Should it be just the .ttf? Are there any special css rules that I must include? Thanks for the help! Hi all, I'm trying to use my own hosted font for my website, namely Futura Light. I had been using the Google Font API, so to host my font I change the URL in the CSS from the google hosted font to a local address where my font is. This worked really well on Firefox, safari and Chrome, but IE8 is still showing my generic fonts. Why would IE8 not show my hosted font, while other browsers do? Help is very much appreciated! Ray I'm pretty certain you can do this - but for the life of me I can't remember where I read this. Code:
<style>
@import font("fonturl")
</style>
or Code:
<style>
@font url("fonturl")
</style>
I'm still searching online. Anyone else have any ideas? thanks can I load a special font to my server and then call to it through css? If I want to use the font Made_In_China.tff can I actualy load it to my server and then call to it through css? Nick if i upload a load of different fonts to my web server, i presume i need to link them to CSS, before i can use them. how do i do this? if not, what do i need to do instead? style { #test{ margin-left: 5px; margin-top: 9px; font-family: arial; color: black; font-size: 9px; } } <!-- html --> <div id="test"> <span> X Y Z </span> </div> Here is my problem. I am trying to make "Y" bold. but it appears in regular font. I tried following code which doesn't work for me. <span> X <span style="font-weight: bold;">Y</span> Z</span> Thanks hello, what's the best way to create a border around txt (i mean the letters themselves not around a block of txt)? i've seen some people do this with glow but in most cases it looks awful and even worse, it doesn't seem to work in other browsers other than IE. is there some trick that i can use to achieve this effect? thanks for any help! Is it possiable for me to add an external font family on a certain text? I mean.. Is it possible for me to use ttf fonts on css to modify my html page? P.S: I hope It makes sense.. because I'm tired Ive seen some sites using fonts i dont have on my computer how is this done and whats it called ? any help would be great. I've been looking at some CSS templates over at the Yahoo Developer Network. Link: http://developer.yahoo.com/ypattern...hp?pattern=grid They define font sizes as percentages (13 pt. is about 100%), and I had never seen this. See he http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/fonts/index.html Is this common? Uncommon? Is there a reason I haven't seen it before, or am I blind? Also, in general, have anyone here used these templates as a basis for anything? |
