Is there a way to change the font-family for the whole wiki? (Content pages, title, that kind of thing). Please help!

 * Yes. You can use css to do that. I don't think this breaches the TOUs. Add this to your wiki's MediaWiki:Common.css page:


 * Just be careful. Note that serif fonts are hard to read on computers. I'd pick a sans-serif font. :) STARFLEET ACADEMY 05:33, May 27, 2012 (UTC)
