(Wasn't sure what forum to post this in)

I heard some talk about a new ozone, will that affect the wiki too? If so this might not apply.

The wiki does not set a font-size in the body (this page does), and the font-family is only verdana(same with this page). There isn't a sans-serif or any alternatives on it. This causes the wiki text to be very small.

Other elements have font-size set, but, all font families are set to only verdana.

Ozone is always the right forum for this kind of stuff.

And yes, the new asylum will replace the faq wiki, so I guess that will fix your problem as well.
Though I don't quite understand what the problem is:

-the faq wiki does set a body font-size via css. It's 11px, just like in here.
Heck, it's pretty much the same stylesheet, since it was copied back then.

-Verdana: Yeah, I can see that that is a problem - what platform and browser are you using, if I may ask?. The new Asylum has sans-serif set, at least.
(And uses em for text sizes, so that you may adjust them in IE).

so long,

I don't happen to have verdana installed, that's what breaks it (sans-serif would fix it). I just mentioned font-size because that could cause trouble.

Yeah, as TP said you shouldn't have any problems when the new Asylum comes around.

If you haven't checked already, see if things are better here:

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.

InI: it doesn't display the same in linux because I don't have the font verdana. (and the stylesheet doesn't use a font family sans-serif, or a font-size in the wiki body{})

I'm not refusing it, it just didn't come installed by default, I didn't realise this until this thread.

kuckus: I checked the grail and it works fine.

The missing 'sans-serif is definatly a bug, though I won't be bothered to fix it, since the grail doesn't have it.

But there is a font-size in the stylesheet, ninmonkey! Look carefully ;-)
