Hi Folks, this is my first ever post on the famous rocket-theme site so apologies if its in the wrong section mods.
I have noticed from working on the GPL releases in the past (afterburner and quasar) and this weekend panacea, that H1 H2 etc tags have a cramped together look when you use your own font, I have fixed this on all/any RT templates by adding in the following code in the mainbody CSS - "#rt-mainbody h1 {letter-spacing:0.5px} h2 {letter-spacing:0.5px}"
Just wanted to share in case anyone else has same problem as I couldn't find anywhere when I looked as a non-member.
Thanks
Col

Hi Sharon,
I found it a while ago working on a Quasar template for a client. I think I found it in the html or php files as a reference.
Then the edit worked fine. When I came up against the same problem with a Panacea template job I just cut and paste the same edit under the //Mainbody// section of the template.css file and again it worked perfectly so I'm guessing it'll work for all Gantry templates.

At least one recent template, Quantive, does not have a mainbody.css file, so one has to hack joomla-root/templates/rt_quantive_j15/html/layouts/body_mainbody.php.
The mileage does indeed vary. - Last Edit: 14 years 8 months ago by Sharon Gaughan.

Adding this to the CSS in your template
div.rt-joomla h1 {letter-spacing: 0px;}
div h2.title {letter-spacing: 0px;}
will override the negative letter-spacing that is coming from the CSS in the com_gantry.

That is not correct Sharon,Sorry, my mistake. I mean to say Quantive does not have a mainbody.css file. I have corrected my earlier post.
Quantive has (like all other Club-Gantry-templates) a template.css...
