Font not correct (because of Serif) in APA 7

poker_kid
Dear people,

thank your for helping after the last post also today.
I found another thing which should be incorrect.

The list of references is in the font "Liberation Serif". First as I know Serif should be not allowed in general. And the allowed fonts are (https://www.scribbr.de/):
Calibri 11
Arial 11
Lucida sans Unicode 10
Georgia 11

Therefor the question:
How can I change the font in Zotero?

Thank you very much again for your help and time!
Sincerely
poker_kid

PS: I already changed the style into an other one and back but it didn't fixed it

    There is no mechanism in CSL (citation style language) that would be able to define that. Therefore, it's not an APA issue.

    You'll need to set the font in the style of the word processor of your choice.
    See: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/word_default_font

    Oh and I thought it's a problem of Zotero itself. Thank you very much, it worked! @damnation
    Do you know if it's possible to make different text sizes. For example size 12 inside the text and size 11 in the reference list?

    Yes, those are two different styles.
  • DWL-SDCA
    word processor normal body style. -- set font and text size
    word processor bibliography / reference list style -- set font and text size

    Also to be clear about APA’s actual rules on fonts, serifs are absolutely allowed. The most widely used font in APA style is Times New Roman.

    APA does not have a list of “allowed” fonts. Any font is fine so long as it is readable.
