Default Font and fault styles?

Hi all, new to GeneratePress :)
I am trying to figure out the way the Typography settings work.
I have selected what I want to use as my default font, that being Merriweather Sans with variants 300, regular, 800, italic and a size of 16px
I then go to apply that font to the Typography Manager.
I have set the preferred weight to be 300 and the default size to be 16px.
I know I can set fonts and styles to specific elements like the menu, but I wish to have a single global font.
As I want this font to be used as the default global typography and style everywhere, I tried selecting the HTML element, but this does not change the site's font to what I have selected, it retains the default.
If I change the element to Body the font and style are applied, but it is not applied to other elements such as the menu, e.g. font -size
Is there a way I can set the font and style to be used as a global font and style for the entire website. I can then if needed edit specific elements if I need to later
Hi Sneaky,
Do you have a font set for your menu items through the Typography module or custom CSS or some other way?
By default, if you set the target Element to Body, the menu items should be affected as well.
Perhaps you can share a link to the site in question as well?

Kindly let us know. :)
No, only for body.
However, it would appear to be an issue only when I use the Merriweather Sans font. Switching to Open Sans fixes this, which will be suitable for my needs
Thanks
You’re welcome Sneaky! Glad it’s working now. :)
