Question

Hi,

a few weeks ago, I installed Twiki for our company and so far it works fine. Since we don't like Times as a screen display font I would like to change the default font. I tried what is written in the topic DefaultFontSetting, but it doesn't have any effect. Since I don't know neither css nor perl nor html the template-files are much too complicated for me to understand. Therefore I'd appreciate any help on how to change the default font for viewing say to verdana. Thanks.

Answer

I think that the method described in DefaultFontSetting is the only one that can de used in this case. Since font definitions must be made in HTML (harder) or in CSS (easier, it's the solution given in DefaultFontSetting), there is no way of doing it without handling one of them in them.

And since HTML (output) generation in TWiki is made using the templates, you can't be avoid them.

You can learn about CSS at it's Technical Recomendation by the W3C: http://www.w3c.org/TR/CSS2 .
