font size bigger?

[Sebastian]

from what i can see +4 is the same as =7 .. it looks like the + just doubles it. so techincally +4 is really a font size of 7.

that is why you can't go higher than +4 because the font itself can't go any bigger. so to recap, +4 is really 7 and 7 is the highest the font can be. you understand what i mean? a font can only be so big and can't go any bigger.

take a look at the actual font file.. see number 72? that is the biggest the font can go. 7 = +4 which is the highest you can go with this type of font.

72 = +4
60 = +3
48 = +2
36 = +1

Ahh, ok, now I think I'm getting it. Then vBulletin doesn't really have anything to do with setting the font size limits? That's all I needed to know then. Sorry if I wasted anyone's time on this one. I've learned something new today, now I can take a nap.

that's okay.. nope, vb has nothing to do with how big the font can be... the font can't get any bigger than how big the font designer made it to be.

I was doing the same thing you was just doing.. Lol. Just you beat me to it..

Sebastian, I found and fixed the problem. It seems that +4 will actually only go to 36pt, which is the same size as 7. The vbcode replacement SIZE variable uses "font size=xx" and to get a bigger font than 36pt, I needed to change it to "span=font-size:xxpt". I now have it set up on my board like Word does so I can go all the way up to 72pt, plus I have all the sizes in between. Check this out:

and tell me what you think. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, my friend.
