Increase the font size for better reading

[g-heike]

The BB code for increasing the font size is

Code: Select all

[size=number]...[/size]

. Since the information here is understood relatively, the number 100 is for the current setting and 120 would be an enlargement by 20%.

Typeface with 25% enlargement would then be

Code: Select all

[size=125]Example text with 25% enlargement [/size]

Example text with 25% enlargement

.
You can add this size to your entire text by placing the tag

Code: Select all

[size=125]

at the beginning of your text and the tag

Code: Select all

[/size]

at the very end.

Hi [mention]g-heike[/mention]!
Hi everyone!

If you need to change the font size, you have two options, Would you prefer the font to be larger? and Would you prefer a different font size for mobile devices? in the settings. Go to
User Control Panel > Board preferences > Edit global settings or directly at ucp.php?i=179
And of course, you can change your browser settings.

What you show is how to change a part of the text of your messages. You can see a more detailed explanation about this and other codes at viewtopic.php?t=2121#header-14

Ah, thank you, I think I was blind at that time, because I searched for it as I regeistered here and couldn't find it. Okay, that is a better way for me to read now.

It stopped working for me. I have it set to 130% but the font looks small again and changing this setting doesn't have any effect.

Same here. It does affect the fonts in the headlines and some other places, but not in the posts themselves.

Or you can try CTRL + to zoom in the page with 10%. I'm using it currently and it looks great on desktop. I haven't changed any UCP settings.

I think this is due to various custom styles that use px instead of em as units for font-size:

Code: Select all

div[dir="RTL"] { padding-right: 0px; font-size: 16px; }
/* ... */
body { tab-size: 4; font-size: 11px; }
/* ... */
.postbody { font-size: 11px; }

The largefont extension works by modifying the percentage of font-size close to the root, which will propagate down the tree as long as relative units such as em (or ch, ex, %) are used, but will stop as soon as it hits an element using absolute units like px (or pt, vh, vw).

Setting a px value on body is OK, as largefont takes effect at the next level down; however, setting it on other elements will mess things up.

I'm also not sure why div[dir="RTL"] has a font-size set at all — font sizes should be independent of text directionality.

(Unrelated but I gotta say, other than the bugs, the new custom styles are looking gorgeous! )

or (even better) CTRL and scroll mouse wheel

That's what I did, too. 120% is the perfect size for my screen.

Ctrl+F5 to make UCP settings work, please.. )
