Changing Font size of the application

Post by argniest »

I have everything working really nicely now in the MantisBT web application on my local windows server. Its beautiful!!!
Even got emails working too ;-) on the Windows machine

Well, now that I have used it a little bit, the font size of everything seems pretty small. Wondering if there is a way to increase the font size of everything in all the application? I have tried using a few different fonts like
'Montserrat',
'Open Sans',
'Poppins'

By using the Preferences and saving that preference. But none of those seem to change the size of the fonts in the application, in fact using any of those 3 values doesnt seem to change the font family either. Nothing in the browser seems to change when choosing those. So I am not sure what is going on here and why the font face in the browser never seems to change even though I change those 3 values listed above here.

I am using version 2.15.0 of MantisBT. I am using a postgresql database on my windows server.

I can use the zoom function of the browser to make them bigger which is a simple fix, but just wondered how/why changing these font face is not apparently having any affect in the browser. I am using google chrome latest version for most of the testing.


PS I used a few of these options below and combinations of those values, in my config_inc.php
And never seem to effect anything either. Its like the font is stuck on one font family and one size.
And nothing I am doing is seeming to effect it.

$g_font_family = 'Open Sans';

/**
* List the google fonts that the users are allowed to choose from.
* Google offers over 800 fonts. The list below is limited to the ones tested on MantisBT UI
* @global array $g_font_family_choices
*/
$g_font_family_choices = array(
'Amiko',
'Architects Daughter',
'Archivo Narrow',
'Arvo',
'Bitter',
'Cabin',
'Cinzel',
'Comfortaa',
'Courgette',
'Droid Sans',
'Gloria Hallelujah',
'Inconsolata',
'Josefin Sans',
'Kadwa',
'Karla',
'Kaushan Script',
'Lato',
'Montserrat',
'Open Sans',
'Orbitron',
'Oregano',
'Palanquin',
'Poppins',
'Raleway',
'Rhodium Libre',
'Sarala',
'Scope One',
'Secular One',
'Ubuntu',
'Vollkorn'
);

/**
* List of fonts that are installed as part of MantisBT
* This list is used when using CDN option is disabled
* @global array $g_font_family_choices_local
*/
$g_font_family_choices_local = array(
'Montserrat',
'Open Sans',
'Poppins'
);

yep using IIS. I will add that mime type and see what happens. Seems like I had to do that for something else in some other life of mine. :mrgreen:
