Increase font size

[Sarah Fuller]

Hi Andre,

I’ve tried a few plugins but haven’t found anything that works for the latest version of WP when it comes to fonts. All I want to do is increase the font size. Am happy with the actual font, but it’s just too small. I’ve looked around the forum and can’t find anything clear that says go to this file and change this… Can you help?

Also, maybe this is something that can be added to the customize function in a future version as a lot of people seem interested in being able to change font size. 🙂

Cheers

Sarah

The fonts for this theme are a little scattered and I did not do them properly…but for the most part, you can do a custom css as:

body {
font-size: 100%;
} 

You can make it whatever percent you want, but default is usually 100% or you can go more. This will affect other sizes throughout your pages, but there are some areas where they won’t be affected. Those ones you will need to add css to size them up manually. One of the reasons why relative sizing works best compared to px sizes (fixed sizing).

A little update on Preference….the plan is to actually rebuild it from the ground up and bring it up to date with better code, features, and fixing things like the font issues. My new theme Circumference has some font management added.

Thanks Andre, that worked well. 100 made the leading a bit tight but 95% makes it really easy on the eye.

Might have a play around with circumference and see which looks best. I like that circumference has page dividers and highlighting, but I like that preference has dropcaps. All your designs are great though and your support is awesome. Thanks again 🙂

And now I remember why i didn’t go with that one the first time around … it’s not available yet. Look forward to trying it out when it is. 🙂
