This is a drupal question asked by djaquays on 04 May 2009

I have been tasked with finishing the conversion of our intranet site to Drupal as the person who started the process left before it was completed. The previous person has done most of the work in Drupal 5.x, including customizing our public Internet site’s custom Drupal/Zengine theme to fit our intranet. This was all well and good until it became apparent that we needed our Intranet site running Drupal 6.x for the added benefits in the Views module, which means no Zengine. I have been able to convert the theme over without issue, save one. The font sizes seem to be really wacky. They were the correct sizes and everything looked fine under 5.x. However, they now are significantly smaller than they were prior to the upgrade. I have been unable to get them to look as the did before, though I am dangerously close to novice level CSS knowledge, so it may be my fault.

Has anyone had similar issues with upgrading and converting a Zengine based theme to 6.x? Can someone explain the path the CSS declarations take through a Zengine based theme under Drupal 5.x? Perhaps that will help me understand what I’m missing.
