Doing some digging it looks like the function is in WP and the archive drop down and search box use the body font – maybe by default?
If I could add a specific class to each of these items could I then define it in simple css and use a different font for them?
If this is a WP function then I understand it’s not for you to support but if you know the answer I’ll be grateful.
It’s frustrating trying to get all the fonts matched throughout – I may just give in and use a sans font in the body.
