Question about fonts

[spring dust]

Howdy!

So I really don't like serif font in Lapis and after trying a few other fonts I came to the conclusion that basic sans-serif looks the cleanest for me.

Question is: is it okay if I just use sans-serif for serif font? This is what I have now in styling section for fonts:

--font-serif: sans-serif;
--font-sans: "SF Pro Display", "Liberation Sans", "Segoe UI", "Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN", "Noto Sans CJK JP", "Meiryo", HanaMinA, HanaMinB, sans-serif;

I might be overthinking, but I thought it's better to be sure it's not gonna cause problems down the line when I have hundreds or thousands of cards.

Appreciate any advice🙏

Any mainstream japanese font is fine m Noto Sans JP looks the best to me so I use that, Meiryo is a super common one as well.

[spring dust]

I tried a few, but on mobile none seem to be working

I only use mobile anki

[sullen dawn]

Use whichever font you want it doesnt matter as long as you are able to read the kanji normally

[sullen dawn]

Is your question how to change them?

[spring dust]

I think I know. I just put it in styling like so:

--font-serif: "Noto Sans JP";

Right?

[sullen dawn]

I'm pretty sure you have to change all the fonts

But im not sure

try it

[spring dust]

Hmmm I put those two, now it looks like this:

--font-serif: "Noto Sans JP", "Meiryo";

but visually nothing changes

[sullen dawn]

Theres different stylings for mobile vs PC btw

[spring dust]

ah no nvm it does change

[sullen dawn]

okay how does it look now?

[spring dust]

yeah, I've noticed, mobile is a bit thinner usually

Hmm basically no matter what mobile looks the same

I even deleted the whole : --font-serif: "Noto Sans JP", "Meiryo";:

[sullen dawn]

That is sans serif

like the defualt font

[spring dust]

I guess it is like that on mobile

[sullen dawn]

for mobile

Is it not?

[spring dust]

This is also with "Noto Sans JP", "Meiryo";

yeah I think so I'm not sure

it's just this font with or without those two... Which is fine, I guess mobile just doesn't recognize other fonts or something idk

confusing a bit, which is why I thought I'd ask

[sullen dawn]

so isn't that what you want :o

[spring dust]

yes, it's just like I said, no matter which font I put in there, it always looks like this on mobile. Which I thought maybe I inputed the fonts in a wrong way or something and the app doesn't recognize it and reverts to a default sans-serif instead...😅

[sullen dawn]

i think you did something to break the CSS

i tested it

when I break the css

it defaults to a font

[spring dust]

hmmm

well this is what I was thinking, question is what

😄

[sullen dawn]

can you send the css :o?

[spring dust]

The whole thing?

[sullen dawn]

just the part thats relevant

[spring dust]

I only changed the "--font-serif:" line

The desktop version works fine I think, because if I do something to these fonts then it changes to the other one, the default one I guess.

[spring dust]

Only mobile is like that, but I did change a few things in mobile dedicated code with help of chatgpt

[sullen dawn]

If this doesn't work then i'm not sure :o

[spring dust]

I did a few customizations with chatgpt to mobile parts of code, but it did the job as intended so I don't think it broke anything...

Well okay, I guess I will try a few other fonts and if it's all the same, I'll just to wait and see if anything happens
