When receiving eQSLs for modes with "long" mode + sub-mode names, the first line is extended to second line, which pushes the last (comment/greeting) line out of the eQSL frame. For instance:

To: SV9RMU This confirms our 2-way OLIVIA(OLIVIA 8/250)
QSO
[date and time are OK]
[band and report are OK]
??????? <- this line is out of eQSL frame

This has been happening, since eQSL started using MODE + SUB-MODE and may depend on the logging program uploading the QSO data to eQSL. In the example above, the sub-mode would not need to be "OLIVIA 8/250", but just "8/250". I don't know, how the ADIF standard specifies the sub-modes, though.

Would it be possible to change the standard QSO info font to a slightly narrower one?

Hi,

eQSL is compliant to the latest ADIF specifications

https://www.eqsl.cc/qslcard/ADIFContentSpecs.cfm

As a SILVER member , you can customize your eQSL exactly the way you want.
You chose style 3, everything is already on the graphic, but the details line is not customizable

Choose style 4 instead, don't position anything but the qso details on the card, and there, you will
be able to choose another font, size, alignment....etc

I did it, have a look, now you have much headroom to display everything in the QSO details/comments zone

Hello Guy!
Read my first post carefully. It is not question of my eQSL card, but the eQSLs I receive from other stations. I can edit my card as I want, but I cannot do anything to other people's cards.

Hi again. Guy!
For some reason, changing the "QSO text" line fonts, colours etc DO NOT WORK from my computer, which is running Windows 8.1 and Firefox 80.0.1. Somehow you were able to change my eQSL card's font size, but I cannot do it.

Jukka,

I could change your QSO details zone because I changed to style 4, normally, you can also change everything, alignment, font, font size, color

In meant that anybody can change the qso details zone too........with style 4, only available to BRONZE and above members

With style 1,2,3...it's more or less unchangeable.....

Yes, maybe the default font should be changed to a narrower, smaller one

=> pending suggestions

OK Guy!

Please change my eQSL back to what it was before the changes you made!

I have been using style 3 for some years by now, so that I can design the card in my graphics software, not at eQSL site. I uploaded the whole eQSL background, including all texts (except the QSO details), to eQSL site as a correctly sized *.JPG file. That's the only way to make the card look exactly as I want.

I have tried earlier to use the eQSL designer tool with style 2, but it does not work very well. The main problem seems to be that on the design screen the card may look OK, but on the actueal sent eQSLs some graphics data gets lost, because it does not look the same (object alignments and sizes, for instance).

Thanks for your help & 73,
Jukka - SV9RMU

Thank you, Guy!
I hope that the suggestion for a smaller QSO info default font goes through.
All the best & 73,
