I use a paid version of Artisteer. I am not a code person. I have done all I know, remaking the template to be very sure that all link, (visited, hovered etc.) in all areas of the template reflect the exact font options I want but in all cases, only when I link; the font goes 10pt when the site is set for 12pt. Can you help walk me through this. All templates I have made are assigned as default to site with specific areas assigned to specific templates.
Any help appreciated. Let me know what you need from me.

HI mikalyn,

This sounds like a problem with inheritance. You may be able to troubleshoot it using FireBug. Is It possible to give us a link to the site so we can see the problem?

You might find this article helpful for tracking it down in the meantime.

and

Let us know about the link.

do I need a different Fire bug plugin for each browse I use, on different machines I use different browsers...or is there on that is for all browser situations?
I am working around it right now by lowering font when I associate linked text but I cannot continue to do this. Any help appreciated. Thanks

You can get firbug lite - here's an article on it.
www.makeuseof.com/tag/install-firebug-fo...-other-than-firefox/

You can also just install firefox on all your computers. It doesn't have to be your default browser. You will be able to use it when you want.

I'll take a look at your link and see if i can tell what's causing the problem.

Cheers,

Viewing the link on the page with firebug, it looks like the font size is not part of the css, but hard coded in the template.

It would be in the template that generates the "read more" feature. In the attached screen shot, you can see the font size at the top of the code screen under "element" It does not show a style sheet location next to that like it does on the ones below, because the comand isnt' in the style sheet.

Let me look at it some more and I'll try to give you a suggestion on fixing it.

Now using Firefox with firebug installed. Thanks, like I said I am not a code person, can cut and paste, not sure what I am looking for....

The screen shot shows you what you are looking for. You need to find the place where 10pt font size is specified.

Firefox indicates it's not in a CSS file, but somewhere in a template. I don't have a copy of Artisteer, but I suspect you set that type size when you created the template. It looks like the read more link.

I didn't see any other links on that page, so I don't know what a link in an article looks like.

So you either need to use Artisteer to readjust the size of that element, or you need to find the template that has the element written in it and change it there.

This is very very strange.
On this page the first link 'email' is the smaller font and then the next link for a page I am working up and needed a hidden in site link shows a correct text type. Can you help me with how to correct this. I have templates I created to show the default size of 12 pt in all cases of links. I will go and reset the readmore and import that template. Thanks Any help very much appreciated.

I have a question about Joomla 2.5 and editing the template in the backend.
I have tried to do an edit in html for the templates I created in Artisteer and have gotten an error about a line I did not touch. Is the use of backend edit for Artisteer templates unstable ? Is that a known issue? Thanks

Look in template.css for this class

.art-postcontent, .art-postcontent li, .art-postcontent table, .art-postcontent a, .art-postcontent a:link, .art-postcontent a:visited, .art-postcontent a.visited, .art-postcontent a:hover, .art-postcontent a.hovered {
font-family: "Times New Roman",Georgia,Times,Serif;
font-size: 13px;
line-height: 175%;
}

Try commenting out the line font-size 13px by putting putting comment tags areound it like this.

/* font-size: 13px;*/

That will turn off the font size. If that fixes it, good If not you can remove the comment tags and it will go back to the way it was.

Go through your template.css file and look for anywhere the font size is specified. Try commenting and uncommenting different things and check to see what affect it has.

Be sure to save an original copy of your template.css file so you can restore it back if you make a mistake.
