Font Size

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

I need to change the basic font size for article text on this site: lisa-shaw.co.uk/index.php

I've made sure there are no font tags in the articles themselves, and changed the following settings in the template:

I don't see any changes resulting from those settings being altered.

For the p tag you have this showing -

p {
margin: 0 0 30px;
line-height: 1.68em;
font-weight: 300;
font-size: 18px;
color: #0c2436;
}

Thanks.

It must be cache thing, although I thought I'd checked that. Can I ask how to make it more bold? Also I may need to make the menu font size different to the rest.

Hi

You could adjust the font-weight value or add custom css to make the font bolder

With adjusting the font weight in increments of 100 you need to bear in mind that not all fonts support each 100 value

So if using Google fonts I would check on the site to see if the font supports this particular font weight

For example

fonts.google.com/specimen/Oswald

if you type some sample text it will give you various font weight previews

while

fonts.google.com/specimen/El+Messiri

only gives 4 font weight options 400, 500, 600, 700

With adding font sizes that are different from the base - this can only be added using custom css or less code

For most users it would be custom.css code
