Hypermail OpenFAQ

How do I change the font on the pages ?

Contributors:
What I'd like to do is change the font of the archives pages. I tried doing this by adding a <'FONT FACE=...> tag in the header.hyp file and a <FONT> tag in the footer file, but it didn't work. Is there something in the program itself that's preventing me from making this change?

Yes and no. Let me guess... You have hm_usetable = 1. The code for tables is not inheriting the FONT values and that they need to be set in the <TH..> tags. If tables are not used it works as expected.

To test it put a 

     <FONT SIZE="1" FACE="GENEVA,ARIAL,HELVETICA">
in the test-index.hyp and test-msg.hyp. In test-footer.hyp put 
     </FONT>
With hm_usetable = 1 in the test.rc file, then ran "hypermail -c test.rc -m testmail" and everything between the "menus" was the right FONT but the menus were not.

Then edit the test.rc file and set hm_usetable = 0. Next remove the existing testdir and rerun hypermail again. This time the FONT works as expected.

Is this what is happening to you ? If so the code will need to be modified.
