Change Font In Username/Password Boxes & Registration Input Text Boxes

[algis100]

Hi, my WordPress Theme uses a font that unfortunately does not display underscores correctly. This causes issues when new users try to register and have an underscore in their email address and when users try to use an underscore in the their passwords.
How can I change the font to something standard, such as Arial, in just the text boxes that users type into for their usernames and passwords on the login page and also all of the text boxes on the registration form?
Thanks.

1. Is the issue affecting the ability of members to correctly type information, or just “see” what they are typing?
    
2. What font is your theme using?
    
3. What “character encoding” and CHARSET is your MySQL database using? Is it UTF-8 and Latin1?
    

If you are comfortable, that none of the above is the issue; you can affect CSS changes to input boxes with:

.eMember_text_input{
    font: Arial;
}

You can add the CSS tweak to the following interface of your site:

Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS

Hi, thanks for getting back to me.
In answer to your questions…
1. The issue is that members cannot type an underscore correctly. Whenever they do it appears as a ^
2. My Theme is using the font Uglyqua
3. I’m not sure how to find that out and Googling it didn’t help much either.
I have now added the CSS change you have suggested as it makes sense to try it.

The “underscore” character issue you explained is a theme related issue (due to the font it is using). You can do the following test to verify it:

Then you can request the theme developer for potential solutions (if the CSS tweak you added isn’t helping).
