Current font family not listed in .css. How to change font family?

  • I’m using ‘Suffusion 4.0.4’ to build a site for a friend (https://www.instituteofchairmans.com) At some point, he changed the default font family to Times New Roman, etc, but now I want to change it to something else.

    I changed all the screens in the ‘Manage themes’ section of the Dashboard manually to ‘Arial…’ etc font family, but the site still appears with Times New Roman all over it.

    I searched the .css documents; nowhere is the word ‘Times’ to be found.

    I have found the word ‘Times’ in ‘body’ using firebug, but I am unable to find this anywhere using the ‘Theme Editor’ on the dashboard. I assume this is because it is because it’s php not html/css… I’ve not used anything php driven before!

    I would prefer to do this and other tasks just by digging through css etc, but the Theme Editor is not going to be able to let me do that, I fear.

    How can I change the font family in this case?

    Thanks!

    It depends on where you want the new fonts to apply but the general method is like this:

    body {
	font-family: Cambria, Cochin, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif;
}
.page {
	font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans", Arial, sans-serif;
}

    You put this code in your style.css file located in your child theme folder. Don’t ever change any of your core files; It is considered a bad practice.

    I hope this gives you the idea.

    Most fonts are controlled via Suffusion Options → Typography.

    Ok, thanks. So I can just add code to the style sheet, thats good news. I did wonder where in the dashboard I would find controls for this, as I’m sharing the sites admin with a non coding type person, but he’s okay with me tweaking stuff like this.

    I’ll try this and get back to share the results.

    Sayontan: I changed all the fonts to Arial in the section you mentioned; still it shows me Times New Roman everywhere! THat was what confused me.
