Question

RH7 increases TOC font size for Mac browsers

I'm using RoboHelp 7.

I'm running into several bugs with my generated help. It seems whutils.js (found in the !SSL! folder), adds 4 pts to the font displayed on a Macintosh. My lovely 10 pt TOC displays accurately on my PC using Firefox and IE. But on a Mac, I get a 14 pt font.

Rather than delete the javascript every time I regenerate the help set, is there a place in the application to specify that fonts be treated equally across platforms and browsers. I can't for the life of me find it.

I've attached the javascript found in whutils.js. It's pretty hard to believe it's there.

Any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

    I've seen this too but don't have any Mac users (except myself, at home).

    You should report this to Adobe as a "bug." Much has changed for all the Mac versions of browsers since this code was written. All output code needs to be reviewed before the next RH release.

    Meanwhile, if you come up with a safe way to fix this, you could save and keep a modified version of whutils.js to substitute after generating any WebHelp. If we're lucky, we might find that the source file in the RH application folder is identical to the output version, so you could nip this problem in the bud.

    Good luck,
