How to change font of the PHPBB forum?
1. Open your CSS style file of your theme via FTP (/public_htm/styles/subsilver2/theme/stylesheet.css) and make backup of original file.
2. And search for "font-family" in entire document. If you have subsilver2 theme, then i have there font family "Lucida Grande"..etc....
3. Add vBulletin Font family or any other you like and comment out old style.
Example:
Default: font-family: "Lucida Grande", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
Edited: font-family: Tahoma, Calibri, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; /*"Lucida Grande", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;*/
Or simply replace old font families. The Vbulletin font is usually: Tahoma, Calibri, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
4. SAVE the file on your hosting
5. Goto your phpbb forum administration into "Styles" tab and click "Skins" on the left menu. Then "Referesh" your corresponding style.
Now you can see a new font. Maybe font is too small or too big. Then edit the above CSS file again and find "font-size" parameter under "body {***}" tag. Change the percentage font size.
