The font settings are gone from Safari's Preferences. How am I supposed to change the font?
MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion, Safari 6
Safari 6, OS 10.7.4
To change the font size, use the Zoom in/Zoom out in the View menu (select first Zoom text only).
If you want to change the font, probably you need to use a CSS file (Preferences, Advanced, Style sheet).
Best,

I have created three separate Style Sheets, named Calibri.css, Lucida Grande.css and Trebuchet.css.
The code for all three style sheets appears below, separated by dashes -- create a new file in TextEdit, make it a TXT file (as opposed to a RTF file), select text from /* to } and copy and paste to your new text file, save it as *.css (* being the name you want to use). You can change the font to any you have installed.
Then, simply go to Safari -> Preferences -> Advanced and choose which style sheet you want to apply. I have customised my Toolbar to show the small/large A/A to change font size. Perhaps some kind soul can add to the code below to force a fixed sized font.
Alternatively, look for a Safari Extension called HelveticaTheWorld and force all pages to be displayed in Helvetica (the ugliest font ever invented).

This is fantastic. Has massively improved my browsing experience. Only thing I haven't been able to do is to change the css to get rid of bolds and strong. I've tried...
/* My strong conversion */
a, strong, b, em, \[strong\], \[b\], \[em\] {
font-weight: Normal !important;
letter-spacing: Normal !important;
color: #a30c0c;
}
It parses, but doesn't actually do what I want, which is to make sure bold stays as normal. Any help?
Any css experts around? Please comment on what appears below:
When you look at the *.css text, the line that begins "body,......." probably defines the text attributes:
b = bold
i = italic
u = underlined
I would imagine that the h** refers to pre-defined css styles.
I wonder if removing these from the *.css file will have any effects -- I don't have time to thoroughly test at the moment, but may try over the next few days.

Thanks for providing the code. Can one substitute the names of other fonts installed in /System/Library/Fonts and get the same results?
