How do I set text width that will still be responsive?

Hello,

I am using the Newspaper theme and basing my blog off of the travel template. I am still setting up, and am pretty new to wordpress. I’ve been looking around the documentation and all over the theme panel and the Appearance dashboard, and can’t seem to find a way to reduce the text-width for all my posts.

I would like it set so that when users/readers visit via a computer, they are shown a smaller width than what is currently shown (it’s too wide to read comfortably). I can apparently set a constant width using custom CSS, but I’m afraid that will mess it up for phones.

Thanks for any help!

Hello,

Unfortunately there is no option to change the text width but there are options to change the font. you can use a narrow font like Helvetica Narrow, Arial Narrow, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica if you do not like google fonts. They can be set from the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/KsVDnZD1X
As an alternative you can use css to edit the existing font. Please follow this guide to see how to do it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1161242/make-narrow-characters-with-css

I hope this helps.
