Font size in Minimal
Posted: 5 Apr 22, 14:17

Changing Minimal > General > Album font size has no effect on the font sizes of the finished album.

The problem is in common.css. The font-size:${albumFontSize}px; needs to be applied to the html class, not the body.

Have I changed this? It's odd though why html is different from body.

It's because you're using rem font sizes in the album, and by definition, rem font sizes relate to the font size of the root of the document, which is html, not body. It's one of the more obscure points of CSS, something I didn't know until I went hunting for it!

The setting isn't working in Minimal 8.1, either. It works in Minimal 7.2, where the ${albumFontSize} is applied to html.

I just found it. I almost never use html for CSS rules, rather use em for font sizes.

Neither do I, other than making width and height 100%. It's very strange to be putting a font-size on html, since there should never be any content there - that's what body is for! But for rem, that's what the standard requires. That was news, to me!
