Change the default font of my website

I was seeing if anyone could tell me what code to use to change the default font for my template on my website, I don't know much about css

 

put this in your .css

body {
    font-family: NAME-OF-FONT;
}

Code (markup):

 

can you add the font size 10pt in that to

 

But of course!

body {
    font-family: NAME-OF-FONT;
    font-size: SIZE-OF-FONT;
}

Code (markup):

Now, before you ask any more questions, it would be better if you would learn some basic css. There are many tutorial sites around the web, like:

http://html.net/
http://www.w3schools.com
http://www.tizag.com/

Code (markup):

 

I thought I had it solved I am just trying to change the font size and this is what I put in but nothing happened
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
font-size:14px !important;
font-family:Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, Sans-serif;
text-align:center;
background:#000
}

 

Well, do you have a link to the site in question?

NOT that it's a good idea to set px sized fonts across the entire page (since that's the opposite of accessibility), or to declare a font-size without forcing a new line-height (since default line-height cannot be trusted)... and really you might want to look into condensed declarations at that point to save a few bytes... and a reset so you aren't saying margin:0; padding:0; on every last element just to get it behaving cross-browser.

Without seeing the site it's hard to say what could be overriding your declarations... though 14px on body only effects body, even with !important that does absolutely nothing if I were to go font-size:150% in a h2. That H2 would just be 21px (150% of body or it's parent).

doing
* { font-size:100% !important }

before you decalare body in the CSS may fix it, but that's a stupid way of going about it -- really you should go through and change ALL the font declarations in the stylesheet. If the stylesheet is too big for that using search or declares it too many times, there's something horrifically wrong with the stylesheet.

Though again, without seeing the site in question anything we tell you is a wild guess.

-- edit -- though if it's that campersridge site (did a search for threads started by you), the markup is horrifically out of date and the entire page is filled with accessibility faux-pas. The lack of a doctype, the elements in HEAD like P that cannot go in HEAD, nonsensical/non-existant heading orders, endless pointless wrapping div for no good reason, presentational markup, static style inlined in the markup, tables for layout, tags like FONT and attributes like ALIGN that have zero business being used in websites written after 2001, etc, etc... pretty much means that like a lot of other websites, it probably needs to be thrown away and started over -- there's little worth trying to save from it.

 

I just want to know how to change the font size, I don't know alot about css coding, but this website was designed by professionals and that millions of dollars a year so i think they know what there doing

 

Change in your main css file body{ font-family:Arial; }

 

put this in style.css
