(child theme 2012) Changing to Google Webfont font/size/color

So, I’m wondering if I should copy the css file from my parent theme into my child theme css file?

You don’t need to do this. Your child theme should only contain the css that you want modified.

The way this works is that the stylesheets get read from top to bottom and starts with the parent. So whatever you have written in your child theme will override the parent.

If you look at the 2012 functions.php file, they’ve provided instructions on what to do to override the google fonts.

That’s right, so in your child theme you could just use:

function mytheme_dequeue_fonts() {
wp_dequeue_style( ‘twentytwelve-fonts’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘mytheme_dequeue_fonts’, 11 );

and then enqueue your own.

In actual fact I would like to use two Google fonts.

Abel
normal 400

Old Standard
normal & italic

Gaahhh. I did that and some helpful person sent me here and closed my topic!
