Font Size

L

Lawrence Beyer

FP2003 I am still having problems. In Design, I type less
than a line of large type (36 point), but when I preview it, the
type is very small. What settings must I change? What am I
doing wrong.

Have you actually selected the text and applied the font and size?

Use File Menu | Preview in Browser, not the Preview tab.
In IE, make sure the font size setting is set to Medium.

By the way, points are not well suited to web work since they are a print
(inch) based metric, and the web works with pixels. You will find less
cross-browser/platform variation with pixels, percents, ems, exs, ens, or
font size names.

You can use px if you use CSS to style the text. Why does FP only give pt
sizes? Because that's all you get using HTML styles.

in message How come FP only give pt choices in the font drop down selector anyway? Can
that be set up for px?

Yep - cute little drop-down boxes are often the beginning of a nasty
slippery slope. I'm sure Uncle Chutney must have said that at one time or
another....
