Ideas for Arc XP

Increase font size

Our journalists have a suggestion/request. In Windows the font used by Ellipsis is somewhat small. Is it possible to increase it or better still make it configurable?

    With the release of Composer 2.0 we have made several updates to the experience including font size that should resolve this issue.

    Adding to this thread -- I have been getting complaints about how small the type is in the caption field in Ellipsis featured media pane specifically. Why is it so small?

    A WaPo user asked me about this issue today and I told him that the increase/decrease body text functions were coming. He also remarked that the type is fairly light colored and wondered if a heavier font were possible to make it more readable. Posting his comments here as an FYI.

    The ability to increase/decrease the body text is scheduled for one of the next couple Ellipsis releases. This is somewhat related to your entry.

    The top font choice looks very thin probably due to the difference in how PCs and Macs render typography. Will take this feedback back to the designer.
