what is the original default font of wordpress?

  • I mistakenly changed my font on my home page at https://www.theffacts.com. all of my other pages have the original default font of wordpress. I tried all of the fonts in my font family and they don’t seem to include the original default. What is the orginal default font or how do I return to it?

    I use the Socrates theme.

    thanks!

    .pingback a.url {
    font-family: Georgia, “Bitstream Charter”, serif;
    }

    is the default wordpress font, as in twentyten theme

    to see the default for your theme you would need to DL a clean copy and look. Each theme sets its own

    thank you. would you think the defaut font would be in the font family? Also, not sure what you mean by “need to DL a clean copy”. Is that make a new page?

    DL = Down Load

    font-family = A variable that the css parser in your browser uses to store/retrieve the font that is set in the style.css

    For example, you could set the font on a class like this..

    .MyFont{font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif;}

    The browser will first attempt to use the first font set, if that font isn’t supported by your browser it will attempt to use the second one, and so on.

    If your browser doesn’t support any of the set fonts it will default to the font you set for your browser using the “Tools/Options” menu from your browser’s tool bar.

    Not all browsers support all fonts, so if you want a certain look on your pages, then you need to set several fonts that look similar to the look you want. That way if one or two of them isn’t supported by a particular browser there is still a chance that one of the others you set is supported.
