Hi! I'm intrigued by the CSS files posted on your user page. I gather that they are used to change to font of the wiki, but how do you apply them? Fellow Swede [[User:Johan A. Förberg|Johan A.

:(Pardon for not answering in Swedish, but I adher strictly to intelligibility for all ''citizendians''). They're '''automatically''' applied to the skin that is used for the moment. I created monobook.css erroneously, but currently using the skin Modern, the file [[User:Tomas_Kindahl/modern.css]] as it is now, changes the default font to '''DejaVu serif''' a free font that is available for download from [http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/Main_Page HERE]. But you can specify '''any font''' of your liking, I think that '''times new roman''' is a suitable font on Windows - I'm running Linux, so I'm not quite sure. My reason for changing my font usage is of course my glasses and my eyes – I find seriffed fonts of a certain size much more easily readable than the ordinary '''serif'''. When you create your own .CSS file for the skin of your preference, just don't forget to refresh the cache of your web browser; for Mozilla Ctrl-Shift-R, for Internet Explorer Ctrl-F5, etc..

Revision as of 09:48, 19 July 2010
Welcome!
Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start. You'll probably want to know how to get started as an author. Just look at CZ:Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. Be sure to stay abreast of events via the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list (do join!) and the blog. Please also join the workgroup mailing list(s) that concern your particular interests. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forums is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any constable for help, too. Me, for instance! Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and have fun! D. Matt Innis 11:52, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for the warm welcome! Tomas Kindahl 13:52, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hej Thomas, glad to see that you are jumping right in. Feel free to ask around if you want help or other kinds of interaction. --Daniel Mietchen 10:36, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hi everybody, I'm very glad to become so warmly welcomed! In disaccord with the faulty initial impression I believe this info-base is actually alive, vital and nothing like in the "moribund" state that the discussion on Wikipedia about Citizendium claims. Thank you! Tomas Kindahl 10:48, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
modern.css?
Hi! I'm intrigued by the CSS files posted on your user page. I gather that they are used to change to font of the wiki, but how do you apply them? Fellow Swede Johan A. Förberg 13:37, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
- (Pardon for not answering in Swedish, but I adher strictly to intelligibility for all citizendians). They're automatically applied to the skin that is used for the moment. I created monobook.css erroneously, but currently using the skin Modern, the file User:Tomas_Kindahl/modern.css as it is now, changes the default font to DejaVu serif a free font that is available for download from HERE. But you can specify any font of your liking, I think that times new roman is a suitable font on Windows - I'm running Linux, so I'm not quite sure. My reason for changing my font usage is of course my glasses and my eyes – I find seriffed fonts of a certain size much more easily readable than the ordinary sans serif. When you create your own .CSS file for the skin of your preference, just don't forget to refresh the cache of your web browser; for Mozilla Ctrl-Shift-R, for Internet Explorer Ctrl-F5, etc..
