Best way to explain my problem is with this screenshot:

if I point my browser to the actual gallery2 directory, the fonts are regular, readible size. However if I use the photo album link on my wordpress site (using the WPG2 plugin) I get the above - it's like the whole album layout is scaled down, with tiny text. Now, my 2 questions for you:

1 - how can I enlarge the fonts back to "normal" legible size?

2 - note that the gallery2 index page opens up with a gray, blank sidebar on the right. Would it be better to have the gallery2 page open up full width, and would this be a G2 code change?

What both of you are describing is the result of your Wordpress Theme compressing Gallery2 Output, this is a well known issue and nothing we can programmatically do about it, it is just the nature of how multiple CSS stylesheets interact with each other..

We have a collection of tips and tricks to help with this http://codex.gallery2.org/Integration:WPG2_How_To_Stylise_Gallery2_Output

Hi that link doesn't help as it addresses only WP 2.0 (we're at 2.3.2 now) and WPG2 2.0 (Im using 3.0) .
the link found on yoru link goes to someone who has not updated their word press nor their plugin, and everything that he/she suggested to do, doesn't work with the current versions

the thread within your document shows images of the plugin that no longer is pertinent. Ie, the "Using External Header" isn't even a Validation in WPG2 3.0

d-girl,
All the css information is still valid to fix the "G2 page is shrinking when in WP" or the font size issue.

In ..../gallery/themes/matrix/theme.css search for 

#gallery {
    font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 62.5%;
    color: #333;
    background-color: #fff;
}

and change the 62.5 to a larger number.

Dave

thanks. I thought there was only one instance of #gallery in the css file. There are two.
