style_system | Font Size Reply Form

I would like to change the font size of text written in the reply form on the comment pages, as it's very tiny now. Yet I can't figure out what code in my CSS covers that section, so I don't know what to change. I'm hoping that anyone here can help me out. Thanks in advance!

Oh, and just in case... Here's my CSS.

It's because the font size for the canvas div is 1.2em, which inherits strangely in dependent classes. Spiking a font-size into
input, textarea, select { }
seems to fix it.

I'm not sure I understand correctly. I tried adding a font size to the input, textarea section (as there was none specified) but that didn't work. Did I do something wrong?

Huh. should've. What units of measure did you use? Could try putting
font-size: 13px;
in textarea#commenttext { }. It seems to render correctly in Firebug.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work either. The CSS uses 'em' measurements, but neither that or 'px' seems to do the trick. I am officially confused.

I have no idea, then. I can get it to change in Firebug and render in Firefox by fixing those, but I don't know what's going on in your actual style that would be blocking it.
