changing the default font in jira Atlassian JIRA v6.0.8

[peter vande weyer]

Hi

I have kind of a stupid question:

I am asked to change the default font of our Jira to Century gothic and I thought it would just be locating the site-css and changing that.

But in Jira V6.0.8 the styles seem to be done with LESS files that are loacted under JIRA\atlassian-jira\ui

But I can't figure out where in those files the deafault font is set, so I can't seem to find out where I need to do the change.

Can somebody point me into the right direction?

Or Am I missing something and going about this completly wrong?

Thank you in advance

Peter

Hi Peter,

There are two ways to do this I think:

1. Easy way- a quick hack to add this in to your announcement banner:

<style>
body#jira p, ul, ol, dl, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, form.aui, table.aui, .aui-tabs, .aui-panel, .aui-group
{
    font-family: verdana;
}
</style>

2. Modifying the aui classes which is the hard way: (which I think you are trying to do)

• There is already a feature request for skins where you can get some info around: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-9950
• Here is the info about AUI which you might have already seen: https://developer.atlassian.com/display/AUI/Atlassian+User+Interface+%28AUI%29+Developer+Documentation

Hope that helps,

Mhemet
