I've searched and googled but don't see answers. I might be searching for the wrong terms.

We're using the Bartik theme. So far it's serving our needs well, except the default font size is too small. This appears to be the .content class.  Where do I change this so that it survives future Backdrop upgrades?

You could also easily create a subtheme in 2 minutes. 

  1. Create a folder in the root's themes folder, for example in bartik_sub
  2. Create a file bartik_sub.info with something like:
name = Bartik subtheme
description = A subtheme of Bartik.
type = theme
base theme = bartik
backdrop = 1.x
stylesheets[all][] = css/bartik_overrides.css

3. Create a css folder and put your overrides in a file bartik_overrides.css

Then enable Bartik subtheme.

That's it.

Hi Rob.  You can use the CSS Injector module to inject some CSS to fix small things like that.

These are both excellent suggestions.
