How to change the font and the color of the text?

A related question: what is the css to use in a child theme to change all the font color in the site from the default grey to solid black? I know how to use the formatting buttons in a post or a page but I want to change it globally. Or is there some other way to change font color within customizr?

@jalinous, the font-family for list items is Lora, while the default font-family for everything else is Helvetica Neue. The colors are actually the same, it’s just that the serif design of the Lora font makes it look lighter.

When I look at your source, I see this CSS rule:

li{ font-family:"Lora", arial, sans-serif;}

Did you add this to change the font for your menu items? If so, you should have made the selector a bit more selective, like li.menu-item, so it wouldn’t affect list items that aren’t part of the menu.

@4duckisland, even though the question is related, you really should open your own thread so others with the same problem will have an easier time finding it. If you go to Appearance > Customiz!It, there’s a Custom CSS field where you can add this rule to change the default font color:

body {
   color: #000;
}

This changes the default font color to black.

Hi CrouchingBruin,

Thanks for the comments.

I am a beginner and I am not familiar with what you said -:(!

I just change Lora font to default. So, I think I decided not to mess around till I know what I am doing.

Cheers,
Jay

I just change Lora font to default.

If you wanted to change the default font of the entire site to Lora, you should have used this CSS rule instead:

body{ font-family:"Lora", arial, sans-serif;}
