    Been working on my blog, trying to add a custom font (Oswald, from font squirrel) to use as the headers / entry header / entry title. I have tried every tutorial and how to I can find, but I haven’t managed to get the header font to change.
    I *think* I have the files in the right spot and everything coded properly, it seems that something is overriding it and I’m not sure why.

    Any help would be hugely appreciated!

    Try adding it like this.

    font-family: Oswald !important;

    If for some reason the user can’t get Oswald it will revert to defaults.

    That didn’t do anything :/
    I don’t have Oswald on the computer I’m working on. On a computer that does have Oswald, it’s working fine. But on mine, it’s not even reverting to my first back up, Open Sans.

    Try adding this to the top of the css file. It should pull the font from Google’s CDN servers.
    @import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald:400,700,300);

    You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

    Seriously, though, if I could send you cookies through the internet, I would.

    Thank you!

    If you could send me cookies through the internet, I WOULD EAT THEM.

    A cookie for you!

    (Side note: I’ve managed to smooth the font in every browser so far except Chrome on Windows 8. Any suggestions? It looks awesome in Chrome and Safari on Mac,and IE on Windows 8.)

    (ETA: The font doesn’t show at all in Firefox on Mac)
