Could you please look at my thread in EO called "Question about font size" and see if you can give me some advice?
Mainly, all the html I"m typing into my auction descriptions in Vendio is working just fine except for font size changes. I decided this morning to try increasing the font size slightly, and it just has not "taken" for me. You'll see in the EO thread that I've gotten a lot of advice, most of it different from everyone else's advice!
That failing, perhaps you could look at one of my auctions in "pending" and see if it's possible to do? I'm just wondering if the font size change does not show up when I preview my auction but will show up when I launch (in a few weeks).

Hi Roadsmith,
Which auction would you like me to look at? You can use <font size="4"> if you want a noticeable increase. <font size="5"> is also a good one, but it depends on how big you want your text to show.
The preview will show it as it will end up when it is live, so that is pretty accurate in terms of font size.

Thanks, Sonya. I've tried your suggestion--went to a saved auction description, typed in <font size+"4"> and then </font>, and it still did not increase the font size in the preview.
IF you want to look at one that I'm saving, try Victorian Colgate Perfume Box. If it works for you, then I'll know something's wrong at my end.

Hello roadsmith,
Did you remove the size tag out of this listing? I didn't see it in this listing, but I did see the font tag where you are changing the color to red. I also wanted to make sure that you are using the = sign not the + sign.

Tara: I hadn't put a new size tag in that listing, thought maybe you'd like to try it? or is that possible? (I'd tried it, didn't work, removed my html and gave up.)
Can you tell me what font size is standard in Vendio?
Thanks for trying to help me. This is a huge mystery to me and my pals at EO who all are having no trouble at all changing font size.
The description text is not given a specific font size actually, going with the users browser default setting instead for standard text.
If you use the tags Sonya mentioned, it will adjust the size of the font in both the preview as well as the listing, but as Tara pointed out, be sure you are using the '=' sign and not the '+' sign as you had mentioned in your previous post.
