Dreamweaver CS3 design view fonts


We have installed DW CS3 and users are complaining the fonts in design view are
too small and difficult to read. It appears to be picking this up from the
stylesheet used in the site. Is there a way to change this behavior? Obviously
we do not want to change the stylesheet to make DW happy. This doesn't appear
to make much sense.

 You're not making DW happy, you're making your users happy. Besides, if you've
done your stylesheet correctly, there should only be one font size you have to
change.

Check the Adobe technotes on how to fix this.

Can you provide a link to the technote? I just spent 45 minutes on the phone
with Adobe, and apparently they don't know about this. They are still
researching the issue. It does appear this may be caused by our stylesheet
having a 70% font size statement in the td definition. It works in IE and
Mozilla, but is unreadable in DW.

Steve,

We have identified 2 font size bugs with DW CS3:

1. Quirks mode rendering, especially in tables.
2. <font> tags nesting.

It sounds like you're seeing #1. You can add/update the DOCTYPE in your
page to fix that.

An undocumented solution for setting DW9 Design View rendering back to
DW8 rendering is this:

Shutdown DW. Manually add a Registry/Preference in the Settings folder,
type="String", name="RenderToStandards", value="FALSE". Restart DW.

Hope this helps,
