Published WebHelp content styles does not match source files

I'm using RoboHelp 11. The fonts in my source files are set to Verdana, but the WebHelp output is set to Times New Roman.

What can I do to make the WebHelp output match the formatting in the source files?

Can you expand on what you mean by:

The fonts in my source files are set to Verdana

How are the fonts assigned in your source files?

Is the CSS you use for the topics overwritten in the SSL settings? (You can assign a different style sheet on generation.)

Kind regards,

Willam

The fonts, I believe, come from FrameMaker. (The RoboHelp project links to FrameMaker files.)

I checked the SSL settings by popping open the properties for my target. I'm not seeing any assignment for a CSS. Am I looking in the right place? However, the project only has one .css sheet. When I popped open a few topics and checked the code, the topics are pointing towards that .css sheet.

For a quick fix, in the SSL settings, assign the CSS you want to use. That will make sure all topics use the correct styling. And yes, you're looking in the right place.

As to find out what is going on: FM complicates the matter. What are your linking settings for the CSS styles? Also, do the topic look correct when you open them in RoboHelp after you generated them from the FM documents?

Kind regards,

Willam
