RH2017 - Times New Roman

Does anyone know exactly how to change the font from the default Times New Roman to a different font on the output Topic section? I have put custom CSS and that wont change it. I have tried tweaking the output and that wont change it. I visited the RoboHelp Tour website and I see the custom CSS working as mentioned, but just cant get the output to match.

I imported the custom CSS as a baggage file and then referenced it in the Topic layout directly after the default layout CSS. Is this correct? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

No problem with using either as a test or permanently.

That means you have applied your commonltr.css file to the topic but not applied any of its styles to the content. In the output that will mean the content displays in the browser default font which is typically Times New Roman. If you change the browser font, you will see an immediate change. However, your users would see the content in the default font set in their browser so the real solution is to apply styles to the content.

Hey Alex,

Could you please confirm which output SSL you are generating? Also, what do mean by topic section? Do you mean TOC or something else?

Just for reference in the case that I am missing something throughout the whole process.

Responsive Layout

Have FM maps that are converted using DITA-OT and imported into RH. I have tried Azure_Blue, Charcoal_Grey and Indigo. I am trying the change the font in the main section of the HTMLHelp. I am able to change the navigation font but cannot change the content font. I thought that I might be putting the CSS in the wrong place, but the below example has an customized CSS that changes different components, but the Times New Roman will not go away.

Example (Sorry, had to blur out some of text.)

That looks like the CSS from the RoboHelp Tour.

As you have blurred out most of the text, can we take it the Parent topic is an example of the problem? If it is, click in one of those words and look at the name of the style in the Edit ribbon. Does it appear in CAPS and alongside is the correct CSS specified?

If it is in capitals, it means the style is not in the CSS so then you will see the browser default. If the CSS has spaces in its name or the styles, that too can cause issues.

Check those things first.

I used the RoboHelp tour CSS that you had to make sure that the project was reading the CSS as needed and it is.

When I click on it (Example is Parent Topic) in the Edit tab, the CSS shows commonltr.css and the style shows (none). I did notice that some of the section titles are showing in CAPS on RH but those successfully were changed to a different font.

Thanks!

You do not need to set the CSS file as baggage.
