Question

Changing font of text body in forum posts

Where did the setting to change the font in which the body of text in Adobe forums posts end up?  I'm referring to the forums preference that allows this, not the browser's.

In two different browsers, where the settings are identical, FireFox is using what appears to be the hated Helvetica, while Safari is using my preferred Verdana.  Verdana is set in the preferences of both browsers, and I can't find the forum setting to change it.  I don't find it anywhere in Your Stuff, Preferences or anywhere else.  Where is it hiding from me?

Puzzled and doubting my soundness of mind (wisecracks tolerated, under the circumstances).

    In all browsers I have tried (IE9, FF8) the default font is always Arial:

    I wouldn't know where to change this default.

    Thank you for your response, Pat.

    I was not referring to the font in the Reply Editor.  I was referencing the font in which posts appear in a thread, including the initial post.

    Your post was extremely helpful, though, as it has made me realize it's probably a Firefox bug.

    Here are two screen shots from the very font in the Photoshop Macintosh forum:

    Thanks again.  I'll investigate further)

    MYSTERY SOLVED:

    It was an add-on script managed by Stilish in Firefox that was automatically changing the font to Verdana in the Adobe forums.

    Thanks for your assistance, pat.

    Had checked both of those links.  Nothing there, unless buried deep inside one of the videos.  Frankly I can live with font shown rather than having to watch all the videos.

    Thanks anyway.
