 * Where do you change the font in the theme? Edited style.css in the theme, for
   the line that says body {font-family …………….}, but it has no response to the site.

 * Hi there, If you have not yet done so, I would suggest creating a child theme
   so that any customizations you make will not be overwritten by a future theme
   update. Alternately you can use the Edit CSS function in the Jetpack plugin, 
   or use one of the other Custom CSS plugins that will keep CSS changes from being
   overwritten.

 * There is usually a general font-family declared in a body selector in the CSS,
   but some themes may set different fonts for different things, like headings (
   h1-h6) or widget, post and page titles, so we would need to know which text in
   your site you are wanting to change. Also, what font-family are you trying to
   change things too?
 * A link to your site, if it is live, would be quite helpful, and also, if you 
   could paste the exact CSS you are trying to use, that would be helpful too. You
   can paste the CSS here between backticks or between code tags such as this:
    `
   <code>your_css_here</code>`
