I just changed my journal style and have no clue how to change my font size. I am old and blind and need a larger font! I tried the FAQ and am now hopelessly confused. Any LJ CSS gurus (guri?) amongst you who could walk me through it?
1) The easier of the two: make the font larger in your browser--the only thing that looks terribly tiny to me is the tags section, and that's based on tag usage (and is not adjustable).
2.) Under the LJ main page, under Journal, choose Customize Journal. Some journals are more customizable than others. If you don't see any choices on the left side, like for Style then Fonts and Font Size, look for Custom CSS. Based on a quick refresher on CSS font definitions, you might be able to get away with adding this in the Custom CSS box:
body {font-size:larger} div {font-size:larger} p {font-size:larger}
(See the page for other values for 'font-size'.)
Unfortunately, there's no guarantee that your settings will override the page's.
The CSS seems to work! Yay! I had to limit it to the body text, since it made the headers too big otherwise, but that's fine with me, that's the important part!
Now, how would I increase the boldness? I looked up the element on the site you linked and it looked like maybe something like: body (FontWeight=bold) might work but it doesn't.

Hope this helps.
