 * Hello,
 * It says to be short and brief so 1st post hello.
 * I have been rapidly ageing attempting to add custom font to my theme “Metrolium.”
 * I followed the following article [http://www.wphub.com/tutorials/adding-custom-fonts-wordpress-website/](http://www.wphub.com/tutorials/adding-custom-fonts-wordpress-website/)
   but faltered at step 12.
 * The article does not go in to enough detail for a beginner like me.
 * What I am about to embark on is investigating which text parts of my viewable
   website [http://www.justtest.co.uk](http://www.justtest.co.uk) can be altered
   using the themes customization tool in wordpress. From here I want to try and
   find the corresponding css “code.”
 * So for example: Under the headings section in the WP theme customization tool,
   I can see there are six headings referred to as H1,H2,H3,H4,H5 and H6.
 * I hope to find references to H1,H2,H3,H4,H5 and H6 and then use the css codes
   from this specification: file:///C:/Users/Zeus/AppData/Local/Temp/Temp1_MyFontsWebfontsKit.
   zip/MyFontsWebfontsKit/StartHere.html which came with the font I bought.
 * Any help would be really appreciated,
 * Daniel

 * So moving on I have found a number of things I didn’t previously know:
 * The article I referred to above mentions two things which I think are of real
   importance. (And i’m guessing that I won’t be the last person to be experiencing
   these problems so using the “How to” article in my first post hopefully we can
   unravel the mystery and help other people in the future.)
 * Step 4 says: Using an FTP client such as FileZilla, go to your WordPress directory
   and locate the folder wp-content/themes/your-current-theme/
 * This can be found in the control panel which is supplied/accessed by whichever
   company you chose to host your wp website. Go to file manager, public_html, wp-
   content, themes, your theme whatever you chose or uploaded then header.php
 * Step 12 says: Open your theme’s main style sheet and add the font-family tag 
   with your font’s name wherever you want the new font to appear.
 * Your main style sheet is found again in your control panel, file manager, html_public,
   wp content, wp themes, your theme, assets, css, style.css
 * So I now beleive I have found the main style sheet and have identified various
   tags in there where I beleive I can somehow link to my web font kit.
 * Can anyone add something to this to point me in the right direction?

 * I have updated the HEAD section of my header.php file from the theme with a link
   to the kits license and have also updated what I beleive to be the themes main
   style css sheet.
 * However myfonts says the following:
 * Include a reference to the Kit. Locate the CSS file in the Kit’s main folder.
   You should place a reference to this file in the head section of your website’s
   HTML code. Make sure that the reference appears on all HTML pages of your site.
 * I’m not sure if I have completed the referencing to HTML.
 * Does anyone have any knowledge of this part? What and where can I find my sites
   main HTML?
 * Thanks, Dan

 * try your header.php file, typically found on the right hand side under appearance
   and editor
