FONT SIZE

Hello Gauthier,

Thank you for sharing this query with Mews Community. My name is Yann from Mews and I will be happy to help :)

Please note that You can’t change the core invoice line‑item font size or weight via settings; the body layout/fonts aren’t configurable by properties.

HTML in the bill header/footer can “leak” styles (like font-size or headings) into the whole invoice and make line items look too large, bold, or tiny. Keep header/footer HTML very simple to avoid cascading styles.

You can free up space by adjusting the printable margins (top/side/bottom) for bills/invoices. This doesn’t change the font, but it fits more on a page.

When printing from Preview, switching to another built‑in print template can use space differently, even though it won’t change font size.

Step‑by‑step fix that you can follow:

1) Use a safe preview
Open a customer bill and click Preview to test changes before issuing the invoice.

2) Clean up header/footer HTML
Go to Settings > Property > Finance > Accounting configuration. In Bill header and Bill footer, remove any global CSS or headings (e.g., <style>…</style>, h1–h6, or style="font-size:…"). Stick to basic tags like <p>, <br>, and minimal <b>. Save, then re‑preview.

3) Optimize margins
In the same Accounting configuration screen, reduce Top/Side/Bottom print margins to fit more content per page.

4) Try a different print template
From the Preview flow, pick a different print template before downloading/printing (e.g., “Detailed overview”) to improve layout density.

Good footer/header hygiene (to prevent “big/bold items”)

• Avoid any font-size declarations, global selectors, or heading tags in Bill header/footer; they can affect the invoice body during PDF generation.

• Use narrow, inline formatting only where necessary (e.g., text-align on a single paragraph), and keep structure to simple paragraphs and line breaks.
