How to change default font size in answers?

Question

Present "default font size" is too small for me.

Answer 1

In order to change the text size of answers you need to do this:

1. Look for file qa-theme/your-current-theme/qa-style.css
2. Search for .qa-a-item-content
3. If present then add this line between the curvy brackets: font-size: 25px;
4. If not present then add this to the file:

.qa-a-item-content {

    font-size: 25px;

}

 

Of course, replace the number 25 for whatever you consider big enough. In order to change the font for questions and comments too you will have to perform the same steps with .qa-q-item-content and .qa-c-item-content, respectively.

 

Also note this will taint the theme and you will have to remember this change whenever you update the theme in the future.

Thank you very much for your clear and complete answer. Could you please tell me what is the font size that equals to 25 px?

Hmm, actually 25px is a font size itself :) There are other ways to measure it, though. Take a look at them here http://kyleschaeffer.com/development/css-font-size-em-vs-px-vs-pt-vs

Thank you again. I checked the link and found this "Generally, 1em = 12pt = 16px = 100%."
