[size="3"]Quoting one of my earlier posts for default font size of the editor:

[indent] [quote name='sumishi' date='05 September 2011 - 08:16 AM' timestamp='1315190285' post='112722']

[size="3"]Admin/Mods,[/size]



[size="3"]In the current theme, the IF posts are very long horizontally and difficult to read, when compared to BRF.[/size]



[size="3"]Is it possible to change the default font setting for posting to Verdana/Arial Size 3? It is much easier to read than verdana size 2, and the number of words in a line reduces.[/size]



[size="3"]It has been proven that longer horizontal traversal of eye on written matter leads to lower comprehension and reading difficulty. Note that the usage of columns in newspapers helps in easier reading and faster perusal.[/size]



[size="3"]Meanwhile, if posters could change the font size of replies to 3, it will be better for all[/size]

[/indent][size="3"]rhytha, can the above be implemented?

I stress again that the readability of posts will be better.

You must have noticed my posts to be in bigger font size -- after typing I change the entire post to: font - Arial and size - 3



In case this request is acceptable, then at the risk of overdoing the request part (hope I am not carrying this a little too far), here is where the change is to be done in IP Board file (I am basing this on IP Board v. 3.02, while IF's version in 3.04 -- so there should not be any difference)



File location: [font="Courier New"]public/js/ips.editor.js

Lines: 1114 & 1115



Existing code is:

Code:

    ips_frame_html += "    font-family: Verdana, arial, sans-serif;\n";

    ips_frame_html += "    font-size: 9pt;\n";

The above can be changed to (changing both font sequence and size):

[/size][/font][size="3"]

Code:

    ips_frame_html += "    font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif;\n";

    ips_frame_html += "    font-size: 11pt;\n";

The above should work, unless if this setting is only for the display within the editor, but does nothing to the post as such.



Guess it will have to be tried out.
