To fix the issue with font sizes appearing too big after changing text from pixels (px) to rem (root em) in a horizontal CMS slider in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Inspect the element: Start by inspecting the element that has the font size issue. Right-click on the element and select "Inspect" (or use the browser's developer tools). This will open the code inspector panel.

  2. Check the CSS styling: In the code inspector panel, locate the CSS properties related to the font size. Look for properties like font-size or text-size.

  3. Review the values: Check the values of the font size in the CSS properties. Ensure that the font size is set using rem units instead of px units. For example, if the font size is currently 20px, change it to 1.25rem (assuming 1rem is equal to 16px).

  4. Apply the changes: After updating the font size to rem units, see if the font size issue is resolved. If not, proceed to the next step.

  5. Check for conflicting styles: It's possible that there may be conflicting styles or overrides affecting the font size in your slider. Look for any other CSS rules that may be targeting the same elements or classes and affecting the font size.

  6. Override conflicting styles: If you find conflicting styles, try adding more specific CSS selectors or using the !important declaration to override them. For example, you could use something like font-size: 1.25rem !important;.

  7. Test and adjust: Save your changes and preview the website in the browser to see if the font size issue is resolved. If the font sizes still appear too big, you may need to adjust the font size value further or review any other CSS properties that may be affecting the size.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue with font sizes appearing too big after changing text from pixels to rem in a horizontal CMS slider in Webflow.
