"font snob"
Nothing wrong with having a pet peccadillo - as long as its kept on a lead

I'll give the Google fonts a miss, not exactly flavor of the month for me at the moment - any more problems with them and and i might end up with my own peccadillo

thanks for offering though

I still can help help about your ggogle font : do you have a link ?

IGraham: 2011-12-11 23:18:17

going for the 'id' was way to do it, did manage to change the areas i wanted rather than the full site
firebug new best friend

I've had hours of fun and frustration with google fonts, hours looking through them to find the one that was just right, hours tweaking site settings, looked great - in Firefox, IE refused to show them

Its OK in certain situations, for user input, chat type things it works well, not so great for the more functional formal stuff like menus maybe

1)you can add news font, whatever the theme is : http://www.google.com/webfonts and other web sites have fonts to download free or not (http://www.fontshop.com

)
To apply these fonts, they are many ways and the easiest is :
to use [extension by ddtddt] Add < head > Element

and add <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nosifer+Caps

' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'> for example for that font

Then apply it with some CSS with local file editor. Use the attribute font-family as this :
font-family: 'Nosifer Caps', cursive;

2)you can inspect with firebug the html and css code : so you can see if the bloc spotted have an id/class, in order to apply a font only to this bloc

3)please don't use comic sans ms, there are so many others

well after a bit more 'experiment' i find that i can inspect the element and even temporarily change a value - nice
unfortunately i found that the value i want to change is global and will affect all Body text, these are the css values i want to change to
BODY {
color: #696969;
font-family: comic Sans MS;
}

BODY {

font-size: 1em;
}
So i pasted them into pure_autumn css and though the comments and description look ok some of the other items like the menu were better with the original font
I'll look for a font in between,
thanks again for the prod in the right direction - a little bit more learned

Firebug - never used that one before
installed it into Firefox, looked at page and css ?? search on 'font' in css have you seen just how much css is used
No idea which one to look at ? or even how to over ride it really
don't suppose you could give me another clue (or two) :)

Well you use Firebug on ff, F12 on IE and chrome, dev menu on Safari... and check what on what where you want

hello
yes you can customize the theme using localfile editor and the link CSS under the theme

IGraham: 2011-12-09 13:49:16

thanks for the reply
the theme is Pure Autumn + Piwigo latest version
i thought it might be possible using the Local file editor and CSS but wasn't sure how to go about it and what was or was not possible

ddtddt: 2011-12-09 12:24:17
