Font in body not modified by themes

    I am currently running the theme Romangie on a private instance of wordpress (3.8.1)

    The themes appear to work except for the font of the body, which remains stubbornly
    `font-family: Georgia, “Times New Roman”, “Bitstream Charter”, Times, serif;

    This appears to be coming from the content.css for the site.
    …/wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/skins/wp_theme/content.css

    Is there an easy way to skirt this issue, perhaps by modifying the custom theme available through your plugin? I’m still somewhat new to wordpress, and am reluctant to break the theme with my tinkering.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Great plugin for a multi-author blog, and I will enjoy using it even if I can’t get it to work 100%.

    Hi Dvana,

    To clarify, you would like the same font both on the frontend of your site (what users see) as well as in the editor? (when editing content)

    Nope! I’m saying that when I activate one of your themes, distraction free mode appears *almost* exactly like the df theme’s preview. Font color and background color alter to match the preview in your plugin settings. However, the font does not change and remains a serif font, no matter which of your themes I choose. Sorry for the lack of clarity there.

    If you would like, I can provide a screenshot in the morning of the behavior.

    Please do post a screenshot when you have time. I will also try out the Romangie theme and get back to you.

    Okie, here’s what it looks like when I’m using the Matrix theme:

    This is with the “Matrix” theme active. As you can see, the text in the body of the post is not being modified by the DFWM theme. Other DFWM themes perform the same; color changes, but not the fonts.

    Thanks again for your help; it’s very appreciated.

    Hi Dvana,

    It looks like the theme is modifying the WYSIWYG styles.
    We don’t actually change the font family unless the DFWM theme requires it (Matrix doesn’t), so this behaviour is not unexpected.

    I’m gonna try to come up with a general solution (like a settings checkbox to force the font family). I’ll have to get back to you shortly.

    Wow, you’re quick!

    Aah, I see. I had gone into the custom theme and tried to alter the font from there, but it would appear that I just didn’t know what I was doing. Well, don’t I feel sheepish?

    Previously, I had commented the font tag in the custom theme, assumed that something was haywire with the theme and its interaction with your plugin, and surrendered. Too soon, it would appear, because if I drop the font tag in the Body section, the body font (surprise, surprise) changes.

    Chock this one up to user ignorance, I guess. Thanks for your help in getting to the bottom of the problem. Yes, it would be nice to be able to use the default themes as they appear in the preview windows, but for now this plugin is doing 100% of what I would like it to do.

    Sorry for wasting your time, but thank you for an excellent plugin (and excellent help!)

    Hi Dvana,

    I have just released a new version (3.1.0) that has improvements to the way fonts are shown in the Distraction Free mode – can you try it out and see if it works for you?

    Thanks!
