choosing the default font ? , posted by Pavel Murat on Wed Nov 13 18:12:34 2024  Dear All, is there a way to choose the default "style" for the HTML encoding ? - I'd like to set it to "Typewriter" but couldn't find the corresponding option in the available docs/ sample config files...       Re: choosing the default font ? , posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Nov 15 09:55:11 2024  Check elog/themes/default/elog.css and look for font-family.
