Description Jeff McAffer

The fonts on planeteclipse.org are disproportionately smaller than those on the normal Eclipse web site.  On the normal site there is a font size button on can press to get larger fonts.  This has been very useful.  Note that it is not that I  need big letters on the screen, quite the opposite!  The problem is in the difference between what is on the two sites.  This causes people to have to bump up/down their browser fonts as they move between the two sites.  as an example, the screen shot attached to bug 213124 (for a different reason) shows the size of fonts on my screen when I've bumped up at least three increments.  Without changing my normal setting at all normal eclipse.org site are about the same size as the screen shot.

Jeff, are the fonts *really* small on your machine?  
Can you post a screenshot without bumping up the fonts?
What browser are you using?

Here is a screenshot that shows your 
1) your screen shot (fonts +3)
2) what I see when I go to P.E. (no change in fonts)
3) Eclipse.org

P.E. is smaller, but not by much.  

Is this consistent with what you see?

Cheers,
Ian

Yup, really small.  We have been through this before and it is one of the main reasons that eclipes.org has the two font sizes. I use FireFox.  Here is a composite screen shot with eclipse.org on the top and planeteclipse on the bottom.  No font bumping etc.  Quite a difference. Note that for Eclipse.org I have hit the  big font button.  Wonder if it is possible o have a similar option for planeteclipse?  anyway, as I said in the previous discussion wrt eclipse.org, this site is the only one I regularly go to that has this problem.

Jeff, is this still an issue with the new theme (bug 229919)?

Seems reasonable now but then in the mean time I have changed machines, screen resolutions (1920x1200 :-), operating systems and versions of Firefox.  So its hard to say.  In any event, I wont be complaining if this bug is closed.  Thanks.
