Cannot change font for Content and Index controls

Post by IlliakaillI »

Hi,

What I have:
Output: HTML5, with selected default skin
Skin: Default
Font property for all major tags including <body> in the default skin: Verdana

What I need:
To display TOC entries and index entries in Verdana as the whole content is in Verdana.

Problem:
The generated output shows the Content and Index control labels as wel as entries in Arial. The firebug shows that the default font set for <body> tag is Arial, not Verdana.

Where should I change the font to get the desired result?

I didn't quite understand what you've set in the skin, as there's no <body> tag in the skin editor.

To change the font, open the skin editor Style tab, and select Navigation Panel Item.

This is covered in Flare's help, see:

Thank you, Dave!
I should have read all the topics in help first. It works!

Just one more question: Is there any quick way to set up a font for everything displayed in the target output? Or should I set up styles for the content in the stylesheet, and for the navigation in the skin editor separately?

Thank you.

No, there's no quick way to set styles in both your topics and the skin.

Stylesheets that you create in Flare are only used for the topics, they can't be used by the skin. To set your skin styles you have to use the skin editor.

Correct, I changed the font colour. The TOC accepted this, but the font colour of the Index or Glossary did not change.
Is there a way to that? (In the Webhelp you can)

Hi,
Did you ever solve the problem with the TOC being updted but not the Index and Glossary tabs? I'm struggling with the same issue.
