Yes, I did. That's what opened this can of worms. The font I'm using has a smaller x-height* than OpenSans, so the whole font size needs to be bigger for lowercase letters to be as readable. That's why I need to bump up the size of the blog post subtitles—they're a little too small now.
Any idea how to make that post "subtitles" bigger? Thanks.
*Just in case you don't know, x-height refers to the height of lowercase letters relative to uppercase letters of a given typeface and size. OpenSans has a pretty large x-height, and Didact Gothic (DG) has a smaller x-height, which makes DG lowercase letters of the same size harder to read than OpenSans. But DG is close to Century Gothic, which is the font I chose for my printed materials. You know—branding and all that.
Hi. I've customized fonts. Now the row of text below the title of each blog entry is a little too small. How do I bump up the font size?
I'd like it to work for blog posts on the blog page and for the Recent Posts widget and anywhere else they might appear. Thanks!
Hey John!
Can you please provide us the page url so we can write up some custom css for you.
Thanks

Hey John!
Did you try adjusting the body font size in Salient Options Page -> Typography Section ? .
Thanks

Hey John!
Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel :
body #single-below-header * { font-size: 18px !important; } .post-header .meta-author,.post-header .meta-category, .post-header .meta-comment-count { font-size: 18px !important; }

Thanks, that worked great for the subtitle of a blog post.
The other kind of blog post subtitle is In the Recent Posts widget, where the dates are still too small. (Same link as above.)
Thanks again!
Sure,
Adjust below values as per your liking:
body .recent_posts_extra_widget span { font-size: 15px; } body .recent_posts_extra_widget .post-widget-text a { font-size: 19px !important; } body .recent_posts_extra_widget .post-widget-text { line-height: 34px !important; }
