Question

Font sizes are different in the design and the preview

Hi,

I am using Robohelp 11.  I have selected the font for all my paragraphs at Vedana and size as 10. When I see the preview I find the text size much smaller (size 8). The tables in my project have the same font and size (Verdana 10) . The preview shows this correctly. I am facing this problem for my paragraphs only. What could be the problem and how do I fix it.

    Have you zoomed in in any way? If you create a new topic, which size does the text have then?

    There is probably something in the CSS going on that the design editor isn't picking up. Can you create an output and check it there?

    Also make sure the topics don't have inline font styles defined. You may find it easier to check the HTML code. If there is inline code you may see something like:

    <p style="font-size:8pt;">

    or

    <p font-size="8pt">

    On a side note, the Design View does not display exactly the same way as the Preview, which is also not exactly the same as the final output in different browers. I would recommend viewing your output, to make sure it displays correctly, and not worry too much about either Design or Preview.

    Hi

    I have checked the code and it shows as <p style="font-size: 10pt,">. As for viewing the output, the preview and the generated output displays the same.
