Hello to HD team

I was reading KB at HelpDesk section. The font size used in post is too small. I am using 1024*768 resolution and it is very difficult for me to read it properly. I am sure, if you are viewing it from a higher resolution, you will have more issue.

Even if you change Text Size from IE, it doesn’t make any difference. (Something to do with ID, I guess)

So, I will suggest increasing the font size for better reading.

I "manage" a couple forums myself for a couple friends ... and members of those sites most times have vision difficulties. What I have done is ... changed the theme's fonts so instead of being a specified size ... I use percentages. Its worked pretty good for the members needs.

However, as a member here, I find FireFox to be a better browser to use when my own vision is being impaired. For some reason, FireFox's ability to override the font settings of a site are better than IE's. Its not only helped me here but a number of other sites I encounter on the net. Easier to change the browser you use than the thousands of sites whose fonts are set at a specific size.

JMHO

I'm on a 1024x768 Resolution it seems fine to me.

I'm on 1280x1024 and it does seem a bit small to me.

pmhoran's Firefox suggestion is an excellent workaround.

Fastian, thank you for your suggestion. I agree with you, it is why we hope to make the font size bigger with the next IntelloDesk release (its the software that powers our helpdesk). I believe the next version does not contain font size this small.

Unfortunately, the size of the font is something that we cannot correct locally - it comes standard from software manufacturer.

Best,

It looks fine for me, I'm running 1440x900 - maybe SHE can fix it? :-p

<3 IntelloDesk.

That’s what I thought myself. (ID= IntelloDesk)
I think, such options should be kept at user’s side. (Changing font, size and color) Infect, changing everything related to theme/template should be at users disposal.

Hope to see ID v2 will sort out this issue.

You can always use CTRL/Mousewheel Forward to increase the size of fonts on a web page.

I am not sure, you should talk to HER about it.

Would you care to elaborate on who SHE/HER is

Its a surprise for all. Can't tell just yet.

I KNOW! I KNOW! Selling the answer for $10 each!

On a side note at home on my laptop with 1024x768 and IE7 and it's small but not bad. I thought with ID you could change the size when you create/edit the article?

At least in my version of ID I was able to, and I'm running same version as HD...

This is accurate. IntelloDesk v1 has a wysiwyg editor for the articles. When the font size of the articles aren't set, it will take on the font size of the table class that the article appears in.

IntelloDesk will indeed have the ability to better handle this, and handle templates a ton better than v1.0 (v2.0 is using the Smarty engine)

Use Firefox, hold control and then scroll using your mouse wheel. Instant size increase (or decrease...) pretty much everywhere

By far one of the most useful features of Firefox - IE's text size features seem to do nothing on most sites.

Or Ctrl + :-)
