Default Font Changed?
-
After updating to the latest release of MM the default font seems to have changed and is taking up more room than the old font, I see the font source was changed but no mention of any change of the default font. I’ve not got any custom fonts specified in my custom.css. here’s a screenshot of how my MM looks now.

-
@unfriendlydevice do you know what release you were on before?
-
@sdetweil I believe I was on the previous version as I update when notified by the system, the last update notification said I was 136 commits behind the master.
-
@unfriendlydevice did u update manually or with my script?
there was a css change a few releases ago that had similar effects which is why I was asking
my script creates a log file of the upgrade which would tell versions…
-
@sdetweil I use the update function within MMM-Remote-Control, I expect this is the equivalent to a manual update.
-
@unfriendlydevice thanks…
what part is taking more room… I don’t see anything looking out of place…
-
@sdetweil It appears there is more space between the characters than the previous font and to me looks less neat and causes the Gmail module to overlap the clock when an email with a long subject is present. If this is the current look I guess I will have to experiment with setting custom fonts.
-
@unfriendlydevice I’m not aware of any explicit font size changes , but we did move to fontawesome 6.1.1
also see
~/MagicMirror/fonts/roboto.csswhich changed a bunch of different fonts
-
@sdetweil Thanks for the advice, I’ll mark this as solved.
-
the font looks wrong to me
I use the update function within MMM-Remote-Control
may this is not sufficient or something went wrong.
You could try
- goto
~/MagicMirror/fontsfolder - delete node_modules folder with
rm -rf ./node_modules - run
npm install
- goto
-
@karsten13 Thanks this fixed it, I can see a subfolder of node_modules has changed names following the npm install.
-
@karsten13 I think I will add this to the upgrade script
-
I think I will add this to the upgrade script
normally this is done with the
npm install ...of mm (seepostinstallscript inpackage.json), no idea why this didn’t work in this case … -
@karsten13 I understand, but as u suggest , erasing the node_modules folder in fonts will force a clean rebuild…
