Does anyone know if the user can change fonts and sizes within the editor of Pulse or only in the css sheet?

Certainly you can
When you edit a Pulse block you should (if you have installed correctly) see the editor

Pulse is using Redactor as the default editor now. There is a screenshot of it in the carousel on the Pulse home page. You can still change font colors but not fonts. I prefer it that way as it pulls font styling from the CSS file instead of giving clients too many options.
More info about Redactor - Redactor WYSIWYG html editor
BTW there is a new version of Pulse launching soon. It will feature a template based on the Kube framework - from the same folks responsible for Redactor

Didn’t know that Marcel - however there has been an option to change editors. I take it that is still the case.

I think you can still do it manually though and install your editor of choice. I would imagine you will have to tweak the code in a few of the php files. I can think of 3 files that will need tweaking (post.php, post-edit.php and views.php) I’m sure I’m missing some.

Redactor fits with the Pulse aesthetic. Personally don’t like it much, too trimmed down and resizing images is guesswork. The lack of the ability to change font sizes is I think limiting also. With just three Header tag sizes. An example were it would be helpful is having say some text an image and then in a smaller font the caption (below) for the images or any text references.
oh well.

Thank you all. For this client, this is too limiting. If I can choose a different editor that would be great.

DM,
You could contact Mark at Pulse and see what he suggests, he’s usually quite helpful.

I did contact Mark. He did not have a solution. Can someone walk me through styling it through the CSS? I’ve tried that, but so far no luck…

An older version of Pulse? Pre Redactor.

Can you show a page where you’ve tried to do that? What are you trying to style, and what would you like it to look like? 99% of all CSS comes down to writing a selector that will attach to the elements you want to change. CSS can be excruciatingly specific if you need it to, or loose and vague if you want to change lots of things at once.

The only place I currently have Pulse is on the index and the events pages (www.theveteransconnection.org/index.php). I have been very remiss in using CSS the way it should and have been styling as I go. So, what I tried to do was select the Pulse item in Freeway and add a style to that specifically.
For testing only, I simply used .body12grey from my CSS…

It picked up the Helvetica, but not the color. And then it seems to have kept the size from Pulse…

Just as well it didn’t take - you wouldn’t be able to read it that color.
But if that is what you want then try adding the following using Page>Html Markup in the before section
<style type="text/css">
#News p {
color: #333 !important;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif !important;
font-size: 12px !important;
}
</style>

BTW, yes I knew that color wouldn’t work… it was just a test and was
already in the CSS. 
You catch everything!!!

I normally select space+markup+space, and style that part.
Wrap the CSS around the markup to catch the embedded code. Seems to work just fine for me.

So if you want to style a subheading in your news section then try adding the following code in the same way as the last block.
First (in Pulse) select the text to be a subhead and choose header2 from the style selector then add the following style block (in FW).
<style type="text/css">
#News h2 {
color: #333 !important;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif !important;
font-size: 18px !important;
}
</style>
You can join these together
<style type="text/css">
#News p {
color: #333 !important;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif !important;
font-size: 12px !important;
}
#News h2 {
color: #c0504d !important;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif !important;
font-size: 18px !important;
}
</style>

That is fine for applying a single style but wont work when there are several.
