  i want to change the font on my pages so that they are all uniform and the same size. i didn’t realise when doing it that they were not the same.

  is there any easy way to do this, I cant seem to find it when editing the pages and I have read about a “programming” way to do it but i do not have the necessary skills to start doing that.

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

  Hi there,

  In order to change the fonts on your site, you will need to first purchase the Custom Design upgrade shown here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/

  This allows you to change font sizes, colors, and upload custom CSS.

  If you let me know a bit more about what you’re looking to accomplish, I’m happy to provide further instruction. Are you looking to make every heading the same font (So blog post titles, widget titles, and paragraph text all look the same)?

  Hi, thanks for your response.

  All i want to do is make all the pages have the same font.

  I thought i had done this when copying the article from MS word but obviously not.

  So to summarise, all headers are in the same font and size and then the content is in the same font but a little smaller.

  Don’t want to do anything fancy !

  Cheers

  Chris

  Hi there,

  Please note that MS Word adds a lot of unnecessary tags in your posts, which is causing this issue. Microsoft Word is a fine word processor for producing documents to be shared or printed, but as a web publishing tool it is a little less than ideal and produces very messy HTML. The same applies when using Google Docs, OpenOffice, or other word processors. You can find more information about fixing this here:

  Microsoft Word

  The best way to go about this is to fix this by going into your Text Editor and removing/editing some tags. You see that you have this tag:

  <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', 'serif';">

  That is what’s causing the font change. They need to be removed. There are quite a few so I can see this would be very time consuming. So please view the link above to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

  Also, as Jeremey mentioned you could use edit CSS to make this all the same all across your site, you would need to add the Custom Design upgrade and add this to your CSS Editor.

  div.entry-content {
  	font-family: "Lucida Grande", Arial, "Lucida Sans Unicode", sans-serif;
  	font-size: 13px;
  }
  
  div.entry-content span {
  	font-family: "Lucida Grande", Arial, "Lucida Sans Unicode", sans-serif !important;
  	font-size: 13px !important;
  }

  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

  Thanks for your response, bit to technical for me thought.

  I just want a simple solution to make the font the same.

  All the “programming language” goes right over my head…..

  Thanks

  Hi Chris,

  Then, the simplest solution would be to purchase the Custom Design upgrade and just copy/paste the code that I provided you. :) After you purchase it, go to Appearance > Customize > CSS, remove the informational content and paste this in:

  div.entry-content {
  	font-family: "Lucida Grande", Arial, "Lucida Sans Unicode", sans-serif;
  	font-size: 13px;
  }
  
  div.entry-content span {
  	font-family: "Lucida Grande", Arial, "Lucida Sans Unicode", sans-serif !important;
  	font-size: 13px !important;
  }

  Then you should be set!

  You’re welcome! :)

  Take a look at the support guide for using content from Microsoft Word so this isn’t an issue in the future :D
