When I change the "Body Font Weight" in ThemeMagic on my Base3 template the font weight does not change, however when I change the same setting in my Base3 demo site I can see the difference. I was hoping you guys might have some suggestions on where to start looking. Thanks!

Hi Tim,

Do you have a link for the site?

Cheers
Paul

The site is www.bremertonhousing.org/joomla1/
Do you need an admin login?

Hi Tim,

Are these the elements we are looking at?

#mainWrap h1 span, #mainWrap h2 span, #mainWrap h1 a, #mainWrap h2 a, #mainWrap p, #mainWrap div, #mainWrap li {
color: #000000;
font-weight: 300;
}

I believe so, that looks right. I changed the font weight to 400 in ThemeMagic but it does not seem to be applying.

And you've saved the style change in theme magic and then compiled less to css?

Cheers

Correct. The changes do not show in the ThemeMagic preview like they do when I change the setting on my Base3 demo site. I do see other changes in the preview, like if I change font size or color.

Are other changes to other settings saving and applying when you view the site?

Are you seeing any error in the browser console window when saving or compiling?

Cheers
Paul

Yes, the other settings I have tried are applying. It is compiling without error.

Does the font you have selected support that particular font-weight?

Cheers
Paul

Yes, it's using Open Sans which I think is the default for the theme.

I think with the standard open sans variant it doesn't support 400 - do you get a difference if you use 600?

Cheers
Paul

Doesn't change with 600 either, I know 400 should work as it does in the demo site with the same settings. I am wondering if something is corrupt or if one of our extensions is somehow causing an issue.

If you paste the line

#mainWrap h1 span, #mainWrap h2 span, #mainWrap h1 a, #mainWrap h2 a, #mainWrap p, #mainWrap div, #mainWrap li {
font-weight: 400;
}

into the custom.css file does it change?

Yes, that does cause it to change.

is this a good enough solution for you or do you want me to check into this a bit more with the developers?

Cheers
Paul

That will get us by but if you guys have any theories or things we can try I would love to hear them!

right I will check later today and see if I can spot the problem

sorry I should have asked this before - what version number of base3 are you using?

Cheers
Paul

Thanks Paul, we are using v. 1.3

are you using the quickstart package?

Cheers
Paul
