[Koha] Font changes on receipts

[Liz Rea]

Lesley,

Congratulations on your go live! I hope things are going well! :)

As to your question, yes, it is possible to use the intranetuserjs preference to edit the CSS for the receipts. Here's a snippet of what I have in ours:

> [begin example]
> 
> </script> <!-- escapes the script in intranetuserjs, just make sure this bit is up top -->
> <style> <!-- opens a style block, where you can put CSS -->
> 
> #receipt {
> font: 15px, arial, sans-serif; /*The CSS, edit it to your whim*/
> }
> 
> </style> <!-- closes out the style block -->
> <script> <!-- put this at the end to re-enable the usual function of intranetuserjs -->
> 
> [end example]

There is a lot more  you could do to the fonts/receipts, a decent primer on font styling in CSS is available here: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_font.asp. If you are using Koha 3.4, there is actually an IntranetUserCSS preference now that you can use to avoid the necessity of using </script> to start your style block in intranetuserjs. In that case, I believe you'd just need the bit:

> #receipt {
> font: 15px, arial, sans-serif; /*editing to your whim, of course*/
> }

to style your receipt fonts.

You'll probably want to get rid of my comments in the code, so copy/paste the following: 


> [begin example]
> 
> </script>
> <style> 
> 
> #receipt {
> font: 15px, arial, sans-serif; 
> }
> 
> </style> 
> <script> 
> 
> [end example]

Let us know if you have any further questions!

I have found some information online (& archives) - all about editing the intranetuserjs area - but I am not proficient with javascript or css and I am not sure what I would put in that field.  Most of the references I have found suggest something like - "put your own css/js info here, then the font info" - but since we aren't currently using any js or css in that area, I'm not sure how to go about that.
