I would like to increase the font size throughout my existing helpstudio project. I have tried the knowledgebase article: http://www.innovasys.com/support/kbarticle.aspx?articleid=515a4309-9c82-46c5-aba2-bc9721d4609b , without success (I'm using helpstudio 3, the article is for helpstudio 2). It seems to never quite save the changes I make. While I would like to increase the fontsize of the main text throughout the project, it would be nice to be able to increase everything by 40% or so (the default is just too small). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

  I apologize for any inconvenience this problem has caused you.

  The default font sizes in a HelpStudio template are controlled by various styles that can be found in helpstudio.css. You can edit this stylesheet by going to Tools > Options > Templates > select the template you are using > Edit > Stylesheets > helpstudio.css > Edit. Below is a list of relevant styles for font sizes:

  • div #mainbody - most page content i.e paragraphs, lists etc
  • td - table cells, including some widgets such as Tip/Note/Caution box
  • th - table headers
  • span #projecttitle - the project title in the header of a topic
  • span #pagetitle - the title of the topic in th header
  • div #pagetop table td - Feedback and See Also links in the topic header (also breadcrumbs unless overriden in breadcrumbs style)
  • div#pagetop table#pagetopbreadcrumbs td - breadcrumbs
  • div #nonscrollingpagefooter - the non-scrolling page footer in the topic

  If you have customised the page layouts in a template the above styles may or may not get you 100% of the way there (the applies for custom widgets which may use their own styles). I recommend that you try using Developer Tools in IE when viewing the web output as it will allow you to "trace" where exactly the style information is coming from.
