Connections Theme with enlarged non-alphabet character (Japanese) issue
-
Currently I am using “Misty Look” theme. I want to switch to “Connetions” theme but there is one problem.
When I checked out the Connections theme preview page, I noticed that the Japanese characters font size was enlarged (almost 3 times larger than alphabet). This did not happen to other themses – I checked at least 10 other themes.
Here is my blog: http://parisruedubac.wordpress.com/
Does anyone know why this happens to Connections theme and how to fix the font size issue?
I appreciate your help!

Hi, there. Does it happen with all the text or just blog posts or just sidebar, etc? Did you preview any other themes to see if it happens with those too?

I just switched my test blog to Connections and looked at a few posts with Japanese characters in them (admittedly, there are only a few words here and there on my blog) and saw no problem with the text size. Then I pasted some of your source code into the HTML editor, and still no problem.
Something I don’t understand must be going on.

G’morning tess! Good catch. I wouldn’t recognize “too large” with Japanese if they hit me.

Hi ella, Yes, you’d know! It would be BIG. ;-)
I don’t see anything odd in the code, and it looks fine on my text blog (there is some French in there to compare the size of the font). -
Hi all,
Thank you for your reply. I noticed the following things.
I was using Internet Explorer 7 to see the Connections theme preview. All Japanese characters got very big only on sidebars (posts were okay – size did not get big).
I also opened my blog with Firefox. In Firefox, Japanese characters size did not get very big on sidebars and posts.
Now I know this issue happens in IE. Any idea why this happens only with IE and Connections theme?
-
Apparently IE has lots of problems. With lots of blogs and sites. You are not the only one to encounter problems with it.
Put this into Google search bar:

Perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to contact support. Perhaps there is a “fix” for the oddity? I wouldn’t hold my breath though.
http://support.wordpress.com/contact/I’m on a Mac, but maybe it looks better with IE8—is that the latest version?

Actually the Misty version looks very different in IE8 than in FF 3.0.8. IE 8 shows me little empty rectangles where boxed-in characters are in FF.
I don’t even want to know why you’ve still got 5.1 around, tess. Memory lane? :)
Or 6, if anyone has that – it’s 8 years old, it’s time to upgrade. Nothing looks good in 6.

ella—It’s on the desktop computer that serves as our base station for laptops. I think IE 5 was just about the last update for Macs. Or at least the last I saw of it. ;-)

If it’s an issue with the sidebar, have you checked out the suggestions in the Sidebar category of the forum?
-
It appears to be a browser (IE 7 or other IE version) issue in the sidebar. There was a question earlier today about Latex not working in a text widget. It seems text widgets have different html functions (I don’t know if that’s the right word?) than the post editor on rare occasions.
