While the font style in my WP theme looks great in the main portion of my site, it's not looking so good in the forums (some characteristics like shading the font in the WP theme is making the text look blurry in the forums). I would like to edit the CSS so it won't inherit the font style from my WP theme. I would then like to declare the font style (with a couple of backups) similar to what is used in this support forum. Problem is my programming knowledge of CSS is lacking and I'm not sure what edits I need to make and where to make them. If anybody could walk me through what modifications I need to make and to which CSS files, I would really appreciate it! laugh

I think I almost have it. I found the following code block within the fools-gold.php overlay which I'm using:

# ------------------------------------------------------------------
# font families and Weights
# ------------------------------------------------------------------
$mainFontFamily           = 'inherit';
$altFontFamily           = 'inherit';
$headingFontFamily       = 'inherit';
$buttonFontFamily       = 'inherit';
$controlFontFamily       = 'inherit';
$toolTipFontFamily       = 'inherit';
$dialogFontFamily       = 'inherit';
$mainFontWeight           = 'normal';
$headingFontWeight       = 'bold';

If I replaced the 'inherit' code with Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; would that call the font-family that is similar to what is used in this forum? Don't mean to copy, but I really like this font and don't want to reinvent the wheel...

Thanks in advance for any help!
