CSS values for Times New Roman

Support
1

Times New Roman seems to be a “smaller” font than Arial, so I wondered whether there is a recommended way to change to this font. I’ve seen Change font sizes in your themes but am still a bit confused!

I’ve changed --font-family and --heading-font-family to Times New Roman but am wondering about the size.

If you add this to your theme’s common.scss file, it should increase all your font sizes by 1px (our default is 15px).

html {
    font-size: 16px; 
    &.text-size-smallest {
      font-size: 14px; 
    } 
    &.text-size-smaller {
      font-size: 15px; 
    }
    &.text-size-larger {
      font-size: 18px;
    }
    &.text-size-largest {
      font-size: 20px; 
    }
  }

The main piece is

html {
  font-size: 16px; 
}

and the other parts, like &.text-size-smallest are used to adjust the text size settings in user preferences: https://meta.discourse.org/my/preferences/interface
