    Increasing the font size globally

    Using vBulletin 5.2.2 I've created two custom styles for our site and they work fine but I still have a few issues with the styles here and there. This is a woodworking site and as you can image, at 51 I'm one of the young guys. I'd like to create a child style with all the fonts site wide increased by 25% and another increased by 50%.

    Can this be done without changing every font setting in the styles?

    Edit the body_font variable and increase the font size. It should change most of the font sizes. If you need to change others, just search for font in the style variable editor in the AdminCP and it will show you all the variables. Change to fit your needs.

      How do you find the body_font variable?

        Changing body_font is out of date in 2021. This was changed in 2019 to use a global_text_font variable.

        All style variables can be found in the Style Variable Editor tool within the Style Manager. Styles -> Style Manager. Select "Style Variable Editor" in the Choose Option... drop down for your style. Click on "Global" to edit the global_text_font variable or type in the style variable name in the search box within the Style Variable Editor. Typically, the first word of the style variable name is also its group (shown bolded in the left column of the editor). Clicking on a group name, shows all the variables within that group.

            That isn't recommended but would have the same effect.
