How to change the default sans-serif (ariel) to serif (Times) in 1.6.8


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

My site is supposed to look more vintage than modern... None of the fonts in the theme configurator are serif type fonts.

 

Going through the global.css file in my custom theme directory, I have found that some of the sans-serif fonts can be changed successfully, but what about this code here?

 

font: 600 16px/20px "Open Sans", sans-serif;

Open Sans is a font family, is there an "open sans-serif"

 

I know I can't change the "font awesome" stuff, as I think those are purely for symbols.

 

Any help would be great,

Thank you,

Jason

The font-family property should hold several font names as a "fallback" system, to ensure maximum compatibility between browsers/operating systems. If the browser does not support the first font, it tries the next font.

 

What “sans-serif” says is “use whatever the client has set as its default sans-serif font” , which out of the box may be Helvetica and Arial, but may not, and it may be modified by the user.

 

You can put serif there instead sans-serif like this:

 

font: 600 16px/20px "Times", serif;
