Default Font and Font-Size in SharePoint Web Part

Question

_{Tuesday, July 6, 2010 8:43 PM}

I created a custom theme on a SharePoint Publishing Portal and set the body font to Arial.  The Page Content holders display the text as Arial 10pt - which is fine - but my content editor web parts continue to display text in Verdana 8pt.

Is there a way to get web part text to inherit the body font theme?  Failing that, where can I change the default font settings for my web parts?

The default font settings for the body of a content editor web part are controlled by the .ms-rte-wpbox style in the corev4.css file.  To change it you will need to override that style with your own CSS.Paul Stork SharePoint Server MVP

Paul,

Do you happen to know the style for the SP2010 new items font and size?

If you use IE Developer toolbar or FireBug for FireFox you can find the styles that are used and customize your styles sheet.
