Link goes to how the theme looks in Fedora 9 - which substitutes the font with the DejaVu Sans.

http://www.theraggedyedge.co.uk/image/block-theme-fedora-9

Observations:

1. The degradation is pretty graceful.
2. The Menu definitely looks better with Trebuchet MS.
3. The normal body content, however, looks better with DejaVu Sans (which is similar to Verdana on Windows, but not as wide).

(ps this is a "notabug" - just thought you would want to know how it looks.)

I have added the following to my stylesheet:

.content p {
  padding: 0 0 10px 0;
  font-family:verdana, DejaVu Sans, Sans-serif;
}

This gives the paragraphs a padding at the bottom of 10 pixels, and changes their font to verdana by default.

I'll still include these in the next commit.
Thanks :)

Title: "Trebuchet MS" is not available by default on all platforms. » Typography in Ablock theme

Another couple of things:

1. lists are currently not stylised. They have no bullet points/numbers, no indent and no separation between list items.

2. All italicised text has the same colour, different from what is used elsewhere. This can work well in places, but not everywhere. Imagine having a title with some italicised text - most of the title will be white, some dark grey.

(sorry if I sound very nit picky, but i really like this theme, so i am trying to provide as much feedback as possible.)

Thanks for the updates - much appreciated. However ,commit http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=133654 does not seem to have accomplished its aim - Just checked and the lists are still unstylised and with no bullet points.

maybe you downloaded it before the CVS update. for dev it's every 12 hours I think. I just checked and it's all good for me on 5 and 6

Just checked and I have the latest version (14 august - I also cleared the cache), but still the same issues with the lists.

You can see the problem on here: http://www.theraggedyedge.co.uk/firefly/fanfic - if you look at the source, you will see that a lot of that content is is ordered and unordered lists.

I can also see that you activated the css compressing, so even if you change the css, drupal will only use a cached version. Go to /admin/settings/performance and in 'Aggregate and compress CSS files:' chosse disabled.

Now refresh...

Sorry about the noise - just found out that I was using an older style.css. oops.
