Hello, I've been looking for the option to change the font size on my dashboard. I found an open issue on GitHub concerning this problem: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/2207](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/2207) Is it entirely impossible to change the font size in Kibana 5? Even in the Markdown Visualization? ---

as far as i am aware markdown by itself does not allow you to change font sizes. some of the kibana visualizations give you that option (metric, tagcloud) however for the majority there is currently no supported way. ---

@ppisljar I am sorry to bother you with this, but I am entirely new to Kibana and GitHub. What exactly is a Pull Request? Is it something that is going to be added to Kibana by the programmers or is it something each user has to install on their own System? Thank you for helping me! ---
