Hi all,

i would like to change the default font size (letter size) of my homepage, but i'm not sure which part of the css file i should edit. As most of you are experts in that, would you mind to give me a hint

?

Homeapge: http://www.seemannsreise.de

Even if the page is in german language, don't you think that the letters are a bit to small ?

Thanks for your oppinion and help!

Its "font-size" in ".serendipity_entry".

/template/YOURTEMPLATE/style.css

Currently, your stylesheet has font-size: small; for body. If you want to increase the overall font size, change it to font-size: normal;.

Nope, not in my Firefox. Even if so, I can still increase it using [Ctrl] + [+].

Hi,

thanks for your help.

body {
margin: 20px 0;
background: #FFFFFF;
font: normal small "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #666666;
}

This is in style.css but changing font only to normal will affect the navigation bar in the title of the page, but not the body

... ?
Any other hints

?

First, try changing it to this:

Code: Select all

body {
    margin: 20px 0;
    background: #fff;
    color: #666;
    font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: normal;
}

If that doesn't do what you expect, you'll have to work your way through your stylesheet and look for font-sizes. Or you could tell us what you still want to have changed. I'll see what I can do

thanks a lot for your help.

I've tryed your code but that only changes the taps "Home" "Bildergalerie" "Forum" etc ... and not the body.

You're welcome.

Yeah, well, if you had taken a look at your stylesheet, you would have found:

Code: Select all

input, textarea {
    font-size: x-small;
    font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

th, td {
    font-size: x-small;
}

Try setting these two to font-size: small; or font-size: normal;. You could also use em or % values for these, see http://de.selfhtml.org/css/eigenschafte ... #font_size. You definitely want to change this one:

Code: Select all

.serendipity_entry {
    padding: 15px 15px 5px 0px;
    color: #444;
    font-size: 11px;
}

px is a no-no for font-sizes!
