Hi Wes,

I changes the font size and color like you mentioned, cleared cookies and cache and refreshed, but still not displaying for me like it is in your screenshot.

Please see here: http://www.tomweyers.com/wp-content/uploads/tw1.8.png

Just a side note, this is the same on main body content (example: http://www.tomweyers.com/about/), it’s not just the widget area where the text is displaying like this.

Just a question, Which Mac are you using? if it’s an 11″ (or perhaps even 13″), it could be why it displays smaller for you, on my 15″ laptop it displays large, yet on the iPad it displays like your screenshot.

Not sure why this is, but I thought I’d mention it in case you can shed some light on it.

Best regards,
Tom

Hi Wes,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

That was actually the first thing I tried before submitting this thread. I tried changing it to a few different font sizes but none worked.

For example, when I change it to:

font-size: 18px;
font-size: 1.8rem;

although smaller, it is still appearing ‘bold’, changing it to 1.7rem makes it way too small, 1.74 is the highest it can go without appearing ‘bold’, anything 1.75rem and up the text appears as bold.

Please look at these 3 screenshots, I used the same text on both sites, and changed the css as you suggested, but the text still isn’t the same size.

v1.4 – the way I’d like the new site to display: http://www.tomweyers.com/wp-content/uploads/diyc.png

v1.5 with your suggested edits to 18px, 1.8rem: http://www.tomweyers.com/wp-content/uploads/tw1.8rem.png

v1.5 18px, 1.74rem – text displaying too small: http://www.tomweyers.com/wp-content/uploads/tw1.74rem.png

I hope this makes sense. I spent quite some time trying different font sizes without any luck. The only other obvious thing I could notice was the font family being different, however changing this also didn’t work.

Thanks,
Tom

P.S Thank you for the suggestions with the titles and background color, very helpful indeed 🙂
