  Hi. The page about the Big Brother Theme says:

  Big Brother includes a special text style for “legalese,” which is displayed with a different font family and a smaller font size to set it apart from regular text.

  OK, it’s using a smaller font size. Appears to be smaller than “small” tag makes. But the font-family is the same! In my case, Alegreya Sans (custom font). I confirmed looking at the HTML code of the preview of my private test post.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Can you please provide a link to a post or page where you used the legalese class so I can take a look for you? On the Big Brother demo page I can see two different fonts, so the problem might be specific to your site.

  Yeah, I saw the demo site. But there they use default fonts, I guess the problem is I use custom fonts.

  I did some testing and it indeed appears to be caused by the custom font.

  I have reported the problem to our theme developers. I’ll let you know if it is something that can be fixed.

  I’ve heard back from a theme developer, and this is how custom fonts work, so it’s not something that can be fixed.

  As a workaround, you can change the font of that paragraph using inline CSS by changing that opening tag like this:

  <p class="legal" style="font-family: Open Sans;">

  You’ll have to do that manually every time you want to use the legalese class.

  Let me know if you have more questions about this.

  OK, I will do that.
  But couldn’t the CSS be changed so the custom font for the normal text doesn’t replace the default font for legalese? Or maybe, in the custom font configuration screen, add the option to choose the custom font for legalese?

  Not according to the developer I spoke to. If you have the Premium Plan, you can use Custom CSS to set this for your own site, but it’s not something we can change in the theme’s programming itself.

  Oh guys don’t worry. I’ve sorted the problem myself. I was going to tell you that I couldn’t comment on websites but don’t worry now! :D

  Thanks anyway.
