The main post text can be changed by the css:

body {
font-family:Arial;
font-size:16px;
}

The various other pieces are all set via numerous specific heading styles, if you want to change all of them its quite a bit more work.

You can use the names that appear in any place you select fonts on your system, if there are spaces in the name just use quotes "", also you can put a list of fonts, and it will use the first one it finds on the users system, for example

font-family:"Times New Roman","arial"

Check http://www.w3schools.com/Css/pr_font_font-family.asp for more information on this and many other aspects of css.

Well....
1°- I used "only" the code "cookies" sent me, not more and not less, that is:

body {
font-family:Arial;
font-size:16px;
}

2°- I expect it to change the body of a topic/post done by someone... that was posted without any specific text format[formatless texts of posted topics]
3°- No changes perceived in the whole page
4°- I would like to change[font type/format] some other parts of the whole site, but it is not easy to known all it...
5°- I propose to you implement a new feature in the forum in the side of site themes, that would be handy for all, it is a "theme modifier helper"... the user will see a mini-image of the whole forum, the main fields would be marked with red line rectangle around the field, to change the font format and size the user only need to select the desired field... and will appear the size and fonts that can be used...

hi adminll, if you want to make the text in the posts larger, you'll need to make a slight tweak to that code above, use:

.post_body {font-family:Arial; font-size:16px; }

However, this won't change other fonts, just your posts. You would need to make changes to each area individually.

We'll be working on theme customization options in the future, thank you for the feedback. We will be balancing ease of use with choices, we don't want to overwhelm admins with too many options confusing the admin panel (we strive to keep lefora simple for admins)
