   Hi,

   I want to use my own font that isn't in the theme I have. Is that possible? If so, how? And will that be really complicated?

   Please HELP!!!

   Thanks. And I look forward to hearing from you soon.

   Tia

   If you are familiar with CSS you can use @font-face to load your own font, here is an article that explains that a little better:

   You need to have the rights to use the font on the web, so be sure you have that first.

   You can also use Google Web Fonts:

   Hope that helps

   I recommend Google Fonts. Google offers hundreds of free fonts that you can easily use with your theme. Implementing Google Fonts is quite easy. It usually takes just a couple of line entries.

   For example, using the Questrial font:

   First, you need to add a stylesheet to your theme's header.php.

   <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Questrial' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

   Second, you need to apply the font to your style.css.

   h1, h2 {
   font-family: 'Questrial', sans-serif;
   }

   And you're good to go.
