Modify Font Size for Italics

[lstarbird]

Howdy! I chose a slightly larger font size for my theme, but it appears that when I do italics (em) that the font is smaller. Is there a way to modify this globally for the theme instead of having to add extra code each time I want to add an italics?

Thanks a ton!

PS- See an example here http://hellnocancershow.com

Hi! If you’re only using italics in the em, you can use that as a CSS class an set a unique italic font size. For example:

.em {italic 15px/24px ‘Arvo’, Georgia, Times, serif;}

Cheers!!

Hi Ernesto!

Thanks for the feedback, but do I just place this under Appearance > Theme Options > Custom CSS? I’ve pasted it there but don’t see a difference.

Thanks again!

Hi! Enter the code without the dot in front of it, it should modify all HTML emphasis tags.

Hi Ernesto! Shoot – I tried that too but still no luck. 🙁 What the heck could I be doing wrong? Am I adding this in the right place as mentioned above?

Thanks again!

Hi! Go to your Custom CSS Section in your Theme Options Panel and enter the following code:

em {font: italic 15px/24px ‘Arvo’, Georgia, Times, serif;}

Cheers!

Thanks Ernesto! That worked like a charm! Looks like we were missing “font” in the previous code…all good now!

Cheers!
