Eleven40 reduce font size of all elements

[micki]

Hi!

I'm wondering if there is an easier way to reduce the total font size then to go through and change each element. I would like all font sizes on site to be slightly smaller. Is it possible to do it in the /* Baseline Normalize section? for example, where it says "{font-family:sans-serif;-ms-text-size-adjust:100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust:100%}", could I change this to 80%?

thanks

Don't edit the baseline normalise section.

If your font-sizes also have a REM property, you could control it via the body.

Depending on the theme you are using, it might already have a property and value like this:

body {
   font-size: 62.5% /* Makes font size default 10px*/
}

If so, changing that value would work.

A situation where I would use this is for responsive design where I want to reduce the text size down across the site when the screen width is under a certain size.

Thanks for the reply. I am using Eleen40 and the element font sizes are all in pixels. this is why I was thinking I would have to go through and change all of them and was looking for a work around.

for example body:

body {
background-color: #fff;
color: #000;
font-family: 'Lora', serif;
font-size: 18px;
line-height: 1.625;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
}

Ah, I see. Yeah, I don't think there is a work around in that instance.

You'll have to edit them manually. You could also use ctrl+f if you're using a Windows PC or cmd+f if you're on a Mac, then search for font-size: to help highlight all the instances of font size, but it's still going to be manual.

Ok, thanks, this is what I was afraid of. I find it odd to have a recent theme with so many fonts in pixel size, but then I have not looked at that many. Yep, ctrl F is my friend :). Thanks again for the help!
