# font for content issues

 * I’ve done lengthy research online and on this support page but unfortunately 
   nothing has worked. I’m attempting to create a new default font for page content.
   I’ve uploaded the new font to the child theme directory and confirmed it is there
   but still no luck. Here is what I have added to the child theme css:
    /* new 
   font type – footlight */
 * @font-face {
    font-family: ‘footlight’; src:url(‘http://thesouljournalist.com/
   wp-content/themes/preference-lite-child/preference-lite-child/fonts/footlight.
   ttf’) format (‘truetype’); }
 * /* replacement font for body text */
 * html {
    font-size: 100%; font-family: footlight; color:#747474; } body { font-
   size:13px; font-size: 0.813rem; font-family: footlight; line-height:21px; line-
   height:1.313rem; }

 * You have curly quotes in your `src:url(...)` line instead of straight quotes:
 * `src:url('http://thesouljournalist.com/wp-content/themes/preference-lite-child/
   preference-lite-child/fonts/footlight.ttf') format ('truetype');`

 * Unfortunately that didn’t make any difference.

 * Can’t believe I didn’t catch this earlier. You’re missing the ending bracket 
   for `#nav-wrapper` on line 59. Also, there shouldn’t be a space in `format ('
   truetype')`.
 *     ```
       #nav-wrapper {
       	background-color:#78a5b6;
       	border-radius:60px 60px 0 0;
       	-webkit-border-radius: 60px 60px 0px 0px;
       	height:27px;
       	text-align:center;
       	font:normal 14px open_sans, Arial, sans-serif;
       		font-size: 0.875rem;
       	color:#fff;
       }
       /* new font type - footlight */
   
       @font-face {
       font-family: 'footlight';
       src:url('http://thesouljournalist.com/wp-content/themes/preference-lite-child/preference-lite-child/fonts/footlight.ttf') format('truetype');
       }
       ```

 * I think that did it! Thanks, sorry it was just a sloppy error.
