I try to use bold font in description for a picture, but all it does is remove the text.

<b> hello world</b>

Why is that?

My guess is that you are using either the GARDENER theme or the BLUEDRAGON theme. These themes are using an embedded pixelfont "standard 07_53" for text, and they simply don't support <bold>.

Unless you wanna change the font for your description through your theme CSS file, I suggest the following. Create a new style in your theme:
.mybold { font-family: "standard 07_63"; }
Then instead of using <b>bold</b> to create a bold emphasis, use <span class='mybold'>bold</span>, which will have the same effect.

Just tried it, doesnt work..

font-weight: bold;
font-family: "Arial";
}

Well, I did say:

.mybold { font-family: "standard 07_63"; }

Problem is, you can't mix Arial and the other pixel font in a single textfield. If you want to use Arial, you need to set the entire description block to use another font that "standard 07_53".

Yes, you can change almost anything related to the formatting of the text through the CSS stylesheet -

	color: #FFFFFF;
	font-size: 24px;

In the next release, we are providing optional CSS files for the bluedragon and gardener theme so they can be switched to use a similar font as in the default theme, and there supports improved text formatting and international characters.

Keep in mind, there are other classes which may control the same text. For example, .mainmenu{} sets the style for the entire mainmenu, and .mainmenu_title{} sets the style for only the titles in the main menu. This means that anything you set in .mainmenu_title{} will overwrite anything you have in .mainmenu{}.

If this is not the case, then there must be something else. Did you clear your browser cache? Did you set the color correctly?

Please provide a link and I will look it up -
