Change default font and size

Edit your theme’s CSS.

i have the same question. (i assume pastorjeff is asking about the size of the font in wp default theme)

sooo, anyone, what would a person put in their css? add some code? what code would that be? or change some code? which code would i change?

also, i see i have two css files. one is Stylesheet (style.css) and the other is Stylesheet (style.css) … and obviously i don’t know the difference between the two

details for a non-techy would be hugely appreciated. thanks!

The Default Theme should only have one “Stylesheet (style.css)”. When you edit the file, you’ll see this near the top:

body {
font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
background: #d5d6d7 url('images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg');
color: #333;
text-align: center;
}

You’ll want to adjust this particular line:

font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */

thank you!

and, could you make a very specific suggestion on the changes i would make in adjusting that line?

my site is https://www.lewiscountysirens.com and what exactly would i write if for example i wanted to notch up the font size by one notch?

(i am just beginning to grasp this code stuff) ??

and, fyi, i see i erred when i described the two style sheets i have. i see the one i said above as well as one labeled RTL Stylesheet (rtl.css)

Just increase the percentage.

For example, change this:

font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */

to this:

font-size: 75%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */

macmanx, thank you so very much. i can’t hardly find the right words for how grateful i am for you and others who have these answers. and what’s really cool, is i’m learning some of this ‘harder’ stuff whenever somebody offers help. best, –news reporter

You’re welcome!

I dont have that on my theme.
I have
body {
margin:0 auto;
padding:10px 0px 0px 0px;
background:#0d0d0d url(images/body.png) repeat-x;
font-family:Tahoma,Century gothic, Arial,Tahoma,sans-serif;
color:#EE0404;
font-size:15px;
}

I changed the “font-size:15px” and saw no difference ??

it changed the font on my main page, but I’m trying to change the default when I’m writing posts.
Is there a way I can set my posts default to a larger font or do I have to manually change it each and every time?

Please post a new topic.
