CMS Made Simple Forums

Posted: **Mon Feb 16, 2009 4:18 am**

I need help with something really simple. My site's text is set to Trebuchet MS, and right now it looks kind of small, so I'd like to experiment with a larger size (and maybe a different font family).

I feel ridiculous posting this here, as I'm not new to CSS at all, but for some REASON, none of the changes I make in the stylesheet are being reflected when I view the site and hit refresh. I've tried increasing the main font-size to 110%, the font size to 10em, and nothing happens. I don't know whether there's some sort of inherited style that's over-riding everything, or what.

The markup for the site is pretty clean, all the text I'm concerned with is encased in tags.

There is only 1 stylesheet, which I'm pasting below. If anyone can take a look at it and tell me how on earth to get font sizes to change, I would be much obliged! Thank you.

.calendar-event
{
text-align:right;
padding:10px 15px 10px 10px;    

}
.calendar-date-from
{

font-size:12pt;    
}

.seedetails

font-size:9pt;        
}

.orange
{
    border:0;
    color: #f3d780;
    background-color: #f3d780;
    height: 2px;   
}
