 * Mark, I just noticed that it’s working in html view. Which is no problem, I can
   mark up as I go. Any idea how to make it work in visual?
 * If not, thanks any way and thanks again for your help.

 * Well, I’ve checked and double checked everything I can find, and tried em, pt,
   px and increasing the percentage… no change. Story of my life! If this looks 
   correct to you:
 *     ```
       add_action( 'admin_print_styles-post.php', 'my_admin_css' );
       add_action( 'admin_print_styles-post-new.php', 'my_admin_css' );
       function my_admin_css() {
       	?>
       	<style type="text/css">
       	#editorcontainer textarea#content { font-size: 2em !important }
       	</style>
       	<?php
       ```
   
 * …”plonked” in TwentyTen/functions.php, saved, permissions ok… I’m at a loss to
   figure out why it works for you and not me.
 * I hate it doesn’t work, but thanks for taking the time!

 * Addendum to previous post: the recommended hack had no affect using Dean’s FCKEditor
   as I originally said. For test purposes I run two instances of WordPress on my
   local machine – Linux/Ubuntu 10.04. I compared the two instances, one using the
   hack to the TwentyTen/functions.php file, the other not. I haven’t used Dean’s
   FCKEditor plugin enough to tell, so I thought it made a difference, but it doesn’t.
   Whether the default font is larger by default I don’t know, but it’s easier for
   me to read. Anyway, back to the drawing board. Thanks again.

 * Mark, I did as you instructed:
 *     ```
       <?php
       add_action( 'admin_print_styles-post.php', 'my_admin_css' );
       add_action( 'admin_print_styles-post-new.php', 'my_admin_css' );
       function my_admin_css() {
       	?>
       	<style type="text/css">
       	#editorcontainer textarea#content { font-size:130%!important }
       	</style>
       	<?php
       }
   
       /**
        * TwentyTen functions and definitions
        *
        * Sets up the theme and provides some helper functions. Some helper functions
        * are used in the theme as custom template tags. Others are attached to action and
        * filter hooks in WordPress to change core functionality.
        *
        * The first function, twentyten_setup(), sets up the theme by registering support
        * for various features in WordPress, such as post thumbnails, navigation menus, and the like.
        *
       ```
   
 * FWIW, I’m using the TwentyTen theme and no plugins affecting the editor. I have
   TinyMCE Advanced and Dean’s FCKEditor plugin installed and deactivated (the factory
   default editor is sufficient for me). I activated each plugin separately and 
   saw no change using TinyMCE Advanced, but do see a change with Dean’s FDKEditor.
 * Frankly, I prefer the default, out of the box editor. I’ve used these plugins
   solely for the purpose of increasing the font size in the editor, which neither
   of them does without also affecting the published post.
 * Unless you have further advice which would spare me having to use the plugin 
   solely to achieve the desired effect, I suppose I’ll use Dean’s FCKEditor since
   your recommendation appears to work (although it does not appear to be 130% the
   default size).
 * At any rate, thank you for your response.

 * I’ve searched the forums and the web for hours on end to find an answer to this
   seemingly simple question. I’ve also been on IRC (what a waste of time) and searched
   the codex and the files in WordPress. But I’m either not capable of understanding,
   or don’t care to learn what I need to know in order to effect the change I desire.
 * It’s hard to believe that I’m the only one who needs a larger font in the editor
   that does not change the font when displayed – published; just so that I can 
   more easily see what I’m doing when composing.
 * Somewhere there is code which sets the size of the font in the visual/html editor.
   Surely someone knows where this is and can tell me.
 * If there are any of the fine developers of this Wonderful product which I have
   used for years who read these forums, then I would like to request that the ability
   to change the editor font/font-size independent of the published font/font-size
   be built into the admin interface.
 * Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

 * I have just upgraded to 2.0.2 and found the same problem with which I began this
   thread. I can’t tell what if any progress has been made to address the problem,
   but I modified the wp-includes/template-functions-post.php as I did in 2.0 and
   it works to suppress the printing of the unwanted data. I don’t understand what’s
   causing the problem, and don’t think this is a permanent solution. But it works
   for now.
 * To the wp-includes/template-functions-post.php file add the following line after
   line 260 (so that it is line 261):
 *  if($key != “_pingme” and $key != “_encloseme”) {
 * Then after line 264 add a line with a closing curly brace (“}”) (so that it is
   line 265).
 * This will suppress printing of “_pingme” and “_encloseme” in posts with custom
   field entries.

 * My son created a temporary fix by adding a few lines to the wp-includes/template-
   functions-post.php file which supresses the printing of the “_encloseme” and “
   _pingme” custom field entries in the post.

 * By-the-way, I was using custom fields successfully under 1.5 with the Letterhead
   theme. I tried the default and several other themes and the problem exists regardless
   of the theme.
