Document font choices

[alipasas]

Sorry guys if this has been asked in the past. I can't seem to find a list of options to change the type of the timeline in a clear-cut way. I can only use "default" Can someone point me to such a list (if it exists somewhere)?

Thanks a mil

By 'type' do you mean the fonts used? There's a menu in the authoring tool:

You are correct, though, that there ought to be a more explicit list.

The values can be any of the filenames in https://github.com/NUKnightLab/TimelineJS3/tree/master/source/less/fonts, after stripping font. from the beginning and .css from the end. You can also pass the fully-qualified URL to a font CSS file that is served on your system or anywhere else on the internet.

Mmmm, not quite sure now... What I mean is this:

• Can I change "default"?
• What are the options?
• Is there a list some place?

Thanks tjm++

The screenshot you show is from the previous version of TimelineJS. That JSON format is not supported any more.

In that version of Timeline, the type was used to distinguish title and era data from regular events. In the new JSON format, (documented pretty extensively here), titles and eras are configured under separate keys of the root JSON object.

Indeed it's the old version. Thanks for the reply.
