Thanks, I don't know why I thought css file. I've been using hard refresh
due to media wiki's caching features, or wahtever, since I started editing
files. Also, to change the main font throughout the page all you have to do
is edit skins/skinname/main.css, in my case skins/monobook/main.css. All I
did was add/change the font rule in the body tag about 4 style elements
down.
I thought it was about the textarea font because he said he wanted to "write
articles." My bad.
Hard refresh = shift+reload_button in firefox/netscape...and ctrl+f5 in
ie/opera?
I'm gona go undo my changes and put them into that special page you
mentioned. Maybe that's why I couldn't find my rule after I saved it the
first time...
Does it auto reinstate the css file when you are using mediawiki?

I added the rule

To get the font to change I went back into EditPage.php to make sure I
didn't miss something and added that same rule to ever textarea, might as
well make it uniform... Anyway, do you have a better suggestion as to how
I
can do it cause I also tried based on the textarea ID
and that't didn't
work
either.
1. The original message was about the display font, not the font used
in the text box itself; changing the latter will not change the
former, and vice-versa.
2. Caches? You need to hard-refresh after editing CSS files to make
sure the browser fetches a fresh version.
3. I said MediaWiki:Common.css, which is a page on the wiki that is
used to override CSS for all skins (in newer versions of the
software); I didn't mean an actual file.
