New subject: MediaWiki-l Digest, Vol 188, Issue 4

5 May 2019

V, when I try it at my wiki (vers. 1.31.1), it works OK in Chrome on
Windows 10. The "Styles" section in Chrome developer tools has this entry:

font[Attributes Style] {

   1. font-family: "Century Gothic";
   2. font-size: small;

}

The FONT tag is deprecated in HTML5
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/HTML_restriction>, so one day it probably
will stop working anyway. Instead use for instance:

<span style="font-family:'Century Gothic'; font-size:small;">Lorem
ipsum
dolor sit amet</span>

At the risk of stating the obvious: the Century Gothic font must be
installed on the user's device for the text to be rendered in that font.

Best regards,

Henrik Thiil Nielsen

 Hello,
 I’m going crazy….

 Why applying (inline) this font:

 <font face="Comic Sans MS" size="2">
 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
 </font>

 to my wiki pages works as expected, and this font not?

 <font face="Century Gothic" size="2">
 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
 </font>

 Thanks.

 NOTE: I’m using Metrolook skin and I didn’t specify any font-family in my
 CSSs (Common, Metrolook, etc…);
