Viewing no "light" or thin" fonts with nav menu

no "light" or thin" fonts with nav menu



User: jefflopezdesigns 9 years ago
I'm I the only one having this issue? With the built in navigation menu, it won't let me choose any light or thin fonts.

The navigation styles for the menu menu list items have no font weight property by default.

When you select bold, the property is then added like so…

#navmenu_menu0 ul li a {
display:block;
margin:0;
padding:5px;
height: 26px;
line-height: 26px;
text-decoration:none;
color:#C8C8C8;
font-weight:bold;
text-align: left;
}

Selecting any other weight has no effect as you have found.

Although CSS provides us with the means to specify the font weight property as follows…

font-weight: normal | bold | bolder |lighter | number | initial |inherit;

… in practice very thick/thin fonts are not used much in web design due to readability issues.

If a font weight - other than normal or bold - is essential to your design, you can add the following to the site wide Head Code box…

<style type="text/css">
#navmenu_menu0 ul li a {font-weight:200}
</style>

See THIS page for info about the navigation ID number.

I tested this with Helvetica light and it is working fine for me. What font are you using?

You would need to post the URL to a published page.

I would need to look at the website in Firefox and check the code before I could give you any idea about why this is the case.
