Question

Font is too small when compiling webhelp

I really hope someone can help as this is bugging me!!

recently upgraded from RH7 to RH8 and everytime I compile my help into Webhelp the font is really small - far too small to be able to read easily.

I have checked everything that i know of regarding the output settings to see if there is something that can be causing this but to no avail. Compiling as a CHM looks fine by the way.

I still have RH7 installed and i am trying to compare settings but I cannot find anything differnet really between the 2 (RH7 compiles fine in Webhelp format)

I have copied the compiled help and viewed it on other computers just to make sure that it is not just something i see but it still looks the same.

So far not been impressed with RH8 and am wondering why i bothered upgrading - especially as for some stupid reason when converting the help all my conditional text formatting got screwed up whereby it has placed rogue spacing before and after any conditional text. I now have the dull task of going over all my topics to delete the spaces!!

    The font size is probably a css problem. Which text is displayed too small? In the TOC/Index/Buttons/Topics?

    Greet,

    Thanks for your quick reply.

    All the text is smaller within the topic itself. Everything else looks fine.

    I think you are correct about the css being at fault - I have a background colour for all topics which for some reason has not updated on all topics. For quite a few of my topics it is white.

    Is there a simple fix for this? I was wondering about copying the CSS file from a backup version and replacing this one....

    If you have topics with different backgrounds, check that they all have the same CSS file applied to them. Are there Master Pages on your topics? You could try copying in a backup CSS file but I doubt this would make any difference if it is exactly the same. Could you look inside the HTML for one of the topics and see if anything is amiss there.
