  I want to change the fonts at http://hootnhowlfarm.com, but I want to be able to use the originals, i.e. the defaults, as alternates. I think I can do this if I know what the originals are, but I don’t. Is there a way to find out? The theme I’m using is Vigilance.

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

  From your source code, most of your text is:
  font:12px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  or:
  font:13px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  Sometimes it is bold. Sometimes it is larger.

  What do you want to change your font to?

  @Tess: No, that’s for the wp admin bar. The fonts used in the blog don’t show up in the source code.

  @hootnhowlfarm: For most themes you can go to Appearance > Edit CSS and click “view original stylesheet”. But that doesn’t work with Vigilance. Anyway, the font used in Vigilance is Georgia.

  @panos—not so clever as I thought: learn something new everyday!
