Forum:Changing font of displayed text

On one of the other wikis, I was mentioning that the one thing I really do not like about the current Oasis skin is the sans-serif font. (On Wikipedia, I have my preferences set to Classic. That option is not available on Wikia, and anyway, I'm perfectly happy to have the colors and stuff that the Oasis skin gets me.) I was told that Oasis is customizable, but when I asked for more specific information, I was directed here.

So here's the question. Is there some way I could change the skin to present everything in a serif font such as Times New Roman, Garamond, or the like? -- BruceG 12:25, January 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * You mean for yourself across Wikia, right? In that case, just copy the following and paste it in Special:Mypage/global.css:


 * Replace "INSERT FONT HERE" with the font you want, save, clear browser cache, and that's it. :) The 888th Avatar   (talk)  12:30, January 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * I tried it, and it doesn't appear to work. After saving it (replacing INSERT FONT HERE by "Times New Roman", trying both inside quotes and not) I hit Ctrl-F5 as it says to do to clear the cache in IE, which is the browser I have, but nothing appears to have been changed. -- BruceG 23:26, January 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Remove the quotes and remove the &lt;source lang="CSS"&gt;&lt;/source&gt; around the CSS. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 11 Jan 2012 5:56 PM Pacific


 * Thank you. As I said, I tried both with and without the quotes; you saw the version with the quotes because that was the second one I tried. But the original person who posted the solution didn't make clear that the tags were not part of what needed to be pasted in, and I'd never seen those tags used before, so I didn't know any better. -- BruceG 02:49, January 12, 2012 (UTC)
