Tweak says, "Secret tunnel! Secret tunnel!"

There are hard and easy ways to change the font in your journal.

If you have an Early Inmate, "Self-committed" [paid] or Permanently Insane account, then you might want to consider creating your own style. You can read more about that at https://www.insanejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=43 .

An easier way is to go to your Modify Journal page (https://www.insanejournal.com/modify.bml) while logged in (https://www.insanejournal.com/login.bml).

At the bottom there is a box where you can enter style overrides. In that box you can enter CSS style rules as part of the GLOBAL_HEAD element of your journal, which affects all of your journal pages (recent, friends, calendar, day).

Note that if you are using more than one GLOBAL_HEAD override (such as a font override and a background override together), that the overrides will need to be merged together (https://www.insanejournal.com/community/howto/1020.html).

(Remember that font names may be case-sensitive, and must be spelled correctly, with any spaces in the correct places, in order to work properly):


GLOBAL_HEAD<=
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body, td, font, div, p {
font-family: "Century Gothic", "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;
}
-->
</style>
<=GLOBAL_HEAD


If you would also like to change the size of your font, you can include this CSS rule:

GLOBAL_HEAD<=
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body, td, font, div, p {
font-size: 12pt;
}
-->
</style>
<=GLOBAL_HEAD


Combined they would be:

GLOBAL_HEAD<=
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body, td, font, div, p {
font-family: "Century Gothic", "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;
font-size: 12pt;
}
-->
</style>
<=GLOBAL_HEAD


If you are using the Refried Paper system style, this method will not work for you.
