GoldenDict Forum

Hello Novikov,

... thanks for that .css. It works fine.
By the way where I can find that dictionary you posted this screenshot.

Bruno

This is a screenshot of the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary 8th ed, but I cannot post links here, because it's against the forum rules.

You can find it on the internet, but, as far as I know using torrents in Germany is dangerous.

Hi Novikov,

... there is one thing though.
I would like to suppress the font style italic with my .css. How can I do that?

Bruno

Hi, Bruno. This code will do it:

Code: Select all

YOUR_ELEMENT_OR_ID_OR_CLASS {
    font-style: normal;
}

Try it and let me know if it works or not.

Hi Novikov,

... no, it won't work.

Bruno

Okay, show me where the problem is. What element does not want to become non-italic?

Hello Novikov,

... if I write:

body {
font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";
font-style: italic;
}

... then the whole dictionary is in italic.

But I want the whole dictionary non-italic and ...

body {
font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";
font-style: normal;
}

... won't work.

Bruno

Oh, of course that is not going to work, because this applies non-italic only to the BODY. The nested elements redefine this style.

First of all, remove the "font-style: italic" declaration from the BODY's style. Then we'll have to find which elements are in italic. We gonna need some screenshots.

But do you really need to remove italic? I think it's there for a reason What problem does it cause?

Hi Novikov,

... thanks for your interest to help me.

You are right, there is a reason. It's not that sharp. Maybe because the resolution (1024 x 768) is too low, but I can't make it higher. It's an old Notebook ... letters in normal style are more readable.

Bruno

Try this code:

Code: Select all

body * {
    font-style: normal !important;
}

This should force all elements to non-italic.

And try the Calibri font (gonna need some font-size adjustments). Maybe you'll like it.

And you always can increase the font using "Ctrl +" and decrease it using "Ctrl -"
