    My body text fornts have all turned to bold font – how do I get the ‘normal’ back?

    Where it the line of code controlling this?

    Hello sHoggard,

    Look in template.css
    First subject:

    /* COMMON STYLE
    --------------------------------------------------------- */
    body {
    background: #fff;
    color: #444;
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    line-height: 1.5;
    }

    But maybe you have accidentally overwritten these lines somewhere else in the css-code?

    I also had this issue… and messy code in one article was the reason 😮

    Did you copy and paste from word?

    Mostly, though its never changed ALL the font attributes before

    Install JCE editor and copy text from Word with “Paste from Word” tool.

    and yes, messy code can change fonts atributes in all frontpage.

    I cleaned up my text code and i resolve that problem…

    Thanks – I’m using JCE – even then it has changed the font ot bold in ALL articles – to clean up messy code – what am I looking for?
    Is there any way to avoid having to go through each article individually to clean up?

    I’ve never had this problem before, until I swithched to Telline – is this just a template issue where it is taking Word attributes and overwirting ALL body CSS?
    It’s a real pain!

    open your article, copy text to clipboard, than delete it.

    click on “paste form word” icon, paste text and save.

    or, switch to html view and delete all code instead <p>, <br> and <div> tags and text.

    try this. I don’t see your live site so this is the only I can suggest. sorry for that… 🙁

    In my case, <strong> </strong> tags were on the beginning of the text in only ONE article in front of picture, I couldn’t see bold text trough normal WYSIWYG editor because tags were closed without any text between. When I switched view to html, I was able to delete these tags. It seems easy now, but it wasn’t on the beginning, believe me…

    so, to avoid future problems, always copy text with “paste from word” tool.

    this template looks great, but it’s very, very hard to set up to work like it should.

    So I have to go through each article looking for <strong> tags ? 🙁

    no, you don’t.
    try unpublish and publish again article by article until you find the right one…

    when you find it, look at the html code and try to do something with it, so you will know in the future what makes your front page text bold 🙂

    I have not got around to using your sollution kryptos (too many other things get in the way!).

    BUT I just noticed something very odd:

    When viewing as a GUEST the fonts are normal & Ok
    When viewing as Registered the fonts turn Bold

    This is strange

    Hi

    Try to turn off System – JA User Setting plugin, than delete cache (both, joomla and browser cache), and turn back on this plugin again.

    if you still have your frontpage with bold font, I have no idea what to do than try to locate article which makes your frontpage bold, just like I did when I had that problem.
    turn off articles one by one untill your front page is fixed.
    than just reset your user setings on the bottom of your page.
