font size bigger?

[Boofo]

Can anyone please tell me where I need to go to find how vBulletin sets the size for fonts? It will not go past +4 for some reason. When you do a size=+5 and on up it sets it at +4. Is there a way to change this so it can display bigger font sizes?

don't put a +

How big you want?


I just used 7

[SIZE=7]How big you want?[/SIZE ]

I don't think you can past 7. fonts can only go as big as they were made in the font file... some fonts are smaller than others... arial is usually the biggest out of all standard fonts.

The + is the way they are doing it in vb3 (I think). I just wanted to be able to go a size or 2 bigger, if it was possible. Does vBulletin set a limit somewhere on the size? I already changed the vbcode_fontsize template, but it doesn't allow the font size to get past a certain point.

I believe you're right.

Im not sure exactly how.. But somewhere in there :O)

what happens when you do [SIZE=7]TEXTSIZE [/size ] ???

like i said the + isn't necessary, if you use the pull down menu here to change the font size it doesn't put a +

the + symbol is only an example in the custom vb code in the admin cp... take a look:

vB Code tag: size
vB Code replacement: <font size="{option}">{param}</font>
vB Code example: [size=+1]Size 1[/size ]
vB Code explanation: The [size] tag allows you to control the size of the font.

i have no idea why + is in there but it does nothing from what i can see.

[Logik]

No, the + isnt neccessary..

[Boofo]

I know the + isn't necessary, it just makes the jump in font sizes a little bigger. Even without the +, it still won't go above a certain point.

[Sebastian]

not sure why... what happens when you manually type [SIZE=7]TEXT[/SIZE ] in a post in your forums?

as you can see it makes is very large here at vb.org, as well as my forums..

Sebastian, try this. Take a line and do the font size from +1 to +4 and then do a font size of 1 to 6 and you'll see what I mean. You can just do the same line over however many times you need to in a new message and preview it and then you won't have to save it. You will see what I mean then.
