 * I have been trying to fix the font in my sidebar which has become oversized. 
   My site is [http://www.artofpurpose.org/wordpress](http://www.artofpurpose.org/wordpress)
 * I searched through the forums to try to figure out the problem. I checked for
   open tags. I haven’t been able to fix the text to normal. Please help! Thanks
   🙂
 * Example of how the text is tagged in edit:
 * <font><font face=”Times New Roman” font size “0”><font color= “#C58917”>Thanks
   for visiting [http://www.artofpurpose.org</font&gt](http://www.artofpurpose.org</font&gt);
   
   <br></font>

 * first, you shouldn’t be using `<font>` tags to control the fonts/etc, but rather
   should be adjusting your theme’s css file and using the classes/id’s provided
   or creating new ones if needed.
 * I can’t tell exactly what the problem is without seeing both your sidebar.php
   code and your theme’s style.css files at least. your problem could also reside
   in the index.php or header.php files, since these are both loaded before sidebar,
   so there could be an open tag/misplaced id/class etc. inside those as well.
 * if you wish, you can email your style.css and sidebar.php at least to [chradil@comcast.net](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebar-font-problem/chradil@comcast.net?output_format=md)
   and I’ll take a look.
