Different fonts

I have only one font in my Confluence and it's bone ugly. Plus, I have all of six sizes, all ugly themselves, to choose from. How do I get more fonts and size options?

This tool is very limited and fine, if it has to be limited, why can't at least the font be good?

Hi @Krista_McGruder

I'm sorry to hear that you don't like the fonts.

But to change the fonts, you need admin permission.

I think, there are two options for your administrator.

I like and would recommend the first option. But I think you are restricted to some preinstalled web fonts, and not your own customized fonts.

Hope this gives an alternative.

Regards, Dominic

This is a simple, expandable approach for a user macro to set font color and size.
It is easy to expand the font.

You had to create your own user macro.

Macro is rendered.

## @param Colour:title=colour|type=string|default=green
## @param Size:title=size|type=string|default=20pt
<span style="color: $paramColour; font-size: $paramSize">$body</span>

Not allowed to do anything of the sort.

How do I get colors and fonts in my version? The ones I have are atrocious.

Without appropriate user rights, there is no chance.

Confluence attaches importance to content, functionality and uniformity. Various fonts, colors and other gadgets only disturb.

Wow. Confluence is awful. The answer should never be to the customer: there is "no chance."
You would think Atlassian would want their paying customers to have a chance.

It's ok. After today, I have decided I'll build what I can in SharePoint and port over the images. Anything I can't build in SharePoint won't be a function on any pages in the space given Confluence's extremely limited offerings. I can redirect the users to SharePoint for everything Confluence can't do with a link that says: "Confluence can't do this. Please follow this link to SharePoint, which can."

I'm sorry you have had such a bad experience, and have chosen to use the place where documents go to retire instead of a live wiki.

If you can't do it in Confluence, there's probably a good reason, like "it's not useful".

Hello Krista,

Besides the information that @Dominic Lagger sent you, I also wanted to let you know that we have a feature request to be able to select additional fonts in the UI.

You can vote on this feature from the link below.

CONFSERVER-5309 Add font selection capabilities to WYSIWYG editing and Wiki markup modes

Thank you again for the suggestion!
