    Dear @piero101
    You want to create a dropdown on the website and then there select the font styles of the website?

    Probably you need to assign Classes containing the font-styles with jQuery to the body.

    Best!

      @mariusjopen Ah sorry, no, you misunderstood. I don’t want to change the fontstyle of the website from a dropdown menu, I just want the links in the dropdown to be smaller than the menu button itself. Same typeface and everything, just smaller.

          @ninaverena No, I didn’t get any answer. I just ended up not using a drop down menu at all.

                @Richard-Keith Thanks Richard, but that state of the website is long gone now ;) Still looking forward to any input for the future because that question will definitely pop up again for me. Thanks!

                    Hey @Richard-Keith :)
                    My website is not yet online. But here is a screenshot. I was wandering whether it is possible to change the font / font size of the menu items (portrait, advertising, etc.)?

                        Dear @ninaverena

                        I understand that sometimes access to the website is not possible :)

                        I hope i can run you through and you apply this to your case:

                        For this we will need help of the Inspection tools provided within Google Chrome's browser:
                        https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-programming/html-css/web-development-tools/a/using-the-browser-developer-tools

                        along with adding our own Custom CSS within "Lay options- custom css & html" :
                        Screen Shot 2020-09-14 at 2.51.54 PM.png

                        When we right click on your webpage we can choose "inspect" from the menu:
                        Screen Shot 2020-10-21 at 11.26.41 AM.png

                        So clicking on the menu which you wish to change:
                        Screen Shot 2020-10-21 at 11.28.00 AM.png

                        Here on the left we have some related data, that we will use to target the menu with CSS e.g:

                        .menu-item-171
                        
                        a
                        
                        [data-id="10"]
                        
                        span
                        

                        I changed my menu item's font size by targeting it like this:

                        .menu-item-171 a {
                            font-size:48px;
                        }
                        

                        Because this is a link <a> i have added the 'a' to be sure that the change occurs, you could also target it further to be sure by adding 'span' to the code.

                        I hope this help's you - target the Menu-item area or the individual menu-items this is your choice - then use 'font-size:20px;' ( change the 20 px to your preferred size ) - adding the code to Custom CSS

                        Let me know how you go! :)

                        Best wishes and have a wonderful day

                        Sincerely
                        Richard
