Question

I was using v2.0.4 of Bootstrap via a public CDN.

Recently (August 20, 2012) version 2.1.0 was released and one of the things among the changes was a new base font-size and line-height, which are in fact just a little bit bigger.

I understand this is set in variables.less and so if I’m using a pre-compiled version I may likely be stuck with the settings – but is there any good way to override things and “reset” the base font-size to something a little bit smaller when using this CDN version, and without having to specify a font-size override for each element that I want to affect?

body{ font-size:.9em; } unfortunately doesn’t help.

2.0.4 rendered H2 font size:
