How to change the global font size?

AI-generated summary

In a support thread titled “How to change the global font size?”, Frankz asks how to adjust the global font size. chapoi explains that while there’s no direct setting, users can override the default by adding custom CSS to their theme: :root { --base-font-size: 30px; }. However, this customization isn’t available on the basic plan. Alternatively, users can select a predefined text size via Admin > Settings > User Preference > Default Text Size. Heliosurge adds that there’s also a font sizing preference under Interface settings, which may affect posts but might not be globally applied — suggesting Frankz experiment with different modes. Frankz and Frankz thank the respondents and plan to try the suggested options.

I don’t think we have a setting for it, but you could override the default.

The most custom way would be to add this CSS to your theme

:root {
    --base-font-size: 30px; //whichever size you want 
}

Unfortunately, this type of customisation isn’t available on basic plan :slightly_frowning_face:

You can however, choose a predefined size in the admin settings (Admin > settings > user preference > default text size(near the bottom):

Hi Frank,

There is also a preference setting where you can choose part if font sizing. Under Interface.

This may or nor be a global effect. But presume it at least works in posts. Have ti try out different modes.
