Serif font default... « Gravity Support Forums

Second question for today :)...

My forms are using a Courier serif font that looks very different to the rest of my site...but before I try to change it I wanted to check a couple things:

1. Is there a reason for staying with a fixed font in terms of form spacing or whatever? Will going to a proportional font hurt me in any way?

2. What's the best way to do this? I know you guys use a lot of inheritance in your CSS, and I want to modify this at the correct point(s) vs. just trying a shotgun approach and changing fonts in each section and then seeing what gets hit ;).

The default form styles don't specify a fixed-width font. That's most likely coming from your theme styles. Can you post a URL to your form so I can check it out.

Okay, saw a URL to your form in another post. I'm not sure yet where the font declaration is coming from, but you can override it like this.
```
[css]
html body .gform_wrapper ul li, html body .gform_wrapper div {
    font-family: sans-serif!important;
}
```

Cool :) thanks...I think it must be coming from the StudioPress stylesheet. I noticed they had a Gravity Forms section.
