Frequently Asked Questions

Q:

Is there a way to change font preferences in OmniWeb 1.0?

A:

Fonts are, by default, chosen from the user's preferences as specified in the NEXTSTEP Preferences application. However, advanced users can override these preferences with the following dwrites. dwrites are typed into the NeXT Terminal.app.

dwrite OmniWeb FixedPitchRTFFont <Times-Roman or whatever>

dwrite OmniWeb NormalRTFFont <Times-Roman or whatever>

dwrite OmniWeb TitleRTFFont <Times-Roman or whatever>

dwrite OmniWeb FixedPitchRTFFontSize <12 or whatever>

dwrite OmniWeb NormalRTFFontSize <12 or whatever>

dwrite OmniWeb TitleRTFFontSize <18 or whatever>

Setting the size of a font sets the "base size" for that kind of font. That size will change depending on the current context-for example the header 1 style (<h1>) is displayed in two times the TitleRTFFontSize, whereas header 2 is 1.5 times the base title font size.
