How to change Wikipedia's default font? Anonymous 2016-01-18 18:19:41 Post No. 35347 [Report]

I want to try changing the Wikipedia content font to a serif font to see if it will be easier to read.

There is an option to change CSS for Wikipedia's appearance (it's called common.css, found in user preferences), and I would prefer to use this option rather than use an extension on Chrome or something.

I don't remember much about CSS and from searching around, it doesn't seem like it's as easy as writing one or two lines of code.

Does anyone know the CSS code needed to do something like this?

body {
font:...;
}

Just look up the specific font properties/css format on W3C or whatever and it should work.

Sorry for the 3 lines of style.

I did this, and it worked for changing text on the whole website to italics or bolded, but it did not change the actual font to a serif font. (Screencap included)

The font "Times" is in the screencap, but I also tried Garamond and Georgia

Do you have an account? If so, you can change the site's css to your liking.
