WP Beginner – how do I change fonts and add graphics?

Hello,

I would be grateful for some guidance – I have just started a blog on WP and would like to play around with the font style and size. I understand from reading other forums that I need to edit the CSS for this – ie the ‘font family’. At the moment the font family is ‘inherit’ – I tried changing this at the top of the CSS and nothing changed. Do I need to change the font family more then once in the CSS? Can you enter any font you can find or does it have to be one of the more common ones?

Also, how do you go about adding in icons or graphics next to things like the page names?

And can someone explain to me whether Ecto software would be useful for the above, and what this consists of?

Lastly, on the homepage how do you get rid of the title ‘Pages’ above things like ‘about me’ / ‘contact’ etc?

I realise this is a lot of questions and is probably a bit cheeky, but I dont know anyone I can ask, and I am determined to learn how to do these things myself in the future.

Thanks in advance!
