I've looked and can't easily find...

A way to easily change the font in my journal. I'm using negatives that I have already totally customized the color for. It's virtually unrecognizable and I like it, but the font doesn't fit and it is throwing the alignment of my navigation, header and sidebar. I've searched for a quick way to tweak it but I'm not finding it.

Help?

Are you looking to change the font of the entire layout or specific section? Current, the only way is through the CSS. Go to Custom Journal Style > Custom CSS and paste the following code in the Use embedded CSS box: body {font-family: Georgia, serif;}. Change the red texts to the font of your choice. This will change the font of the entire layout.

My thought was to change the entire layout, yes! I was hoping I could avoid Custom CSS but I guess not!

This answers my question! Much thanks!

Sure, no problem. If you're looking to change the header & sidebar (secondary), the code would be something like this:

#header {font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 0.8em;}
#secondary {font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 0.8em;}

But yes, no avoid Custom CSS.

I'm sure I'll need this down the road so I'm saving it! I tend to forget coding until I've used it 3-4 times. I may play with the font size for the sidebar but already I'm seeing an improvement.

Wow, a simple code change revolutionizes my entire journal. Amazing! All remaining wonkiness is on the bug list!

Am I missing something? I can't find anywhere to customise my CSS. Is this a feature only available to paid users?

[kahtyasofia]

Nope. I'm not a paid user. Go to Customize Your Theme or Journal or whichever choice it is here on DW (smile) and there will be a choice for the CSS.

Does that help?

Thanks. I worked it out - the theme I had chosen apparently didn't support Custom CSS. I switched to transmogrified and suddenly the CSS option appeared!

There you go!
