# Trouble Adding Header Font

 * I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to change the header font for this theme (German
   News). It comes with the website title written in an italicized text (Times New
   or Lucida Bright) across the header. The header in CSS doesn’t have the usually
   clear H1 tags. When I change the font in the header area, it only alters the 
   SUB title (descriptive line below the website title). I just want to change the
   font (style, etc.) in the header. But I can’t find it.
 * I’m sure there’s a simple fix to this – someone please put me out of my misery!
   🙂

 * Site url? There are currently more than 850 themes in the WordPress Themes directory.
   Funnily enough, most people aren’t intimately familiar with every one of them.

 * look into your html in the browser (‘view’ ‘source’) and look for the code surrounding
   the text of your header title. if it’s not <h1> then it probably is `<a href>`
   and you might be able to locate this ‘a’ – as in link – style in your css – could
   be something like ‘#header a’ or so.

 * Thank you. I’ve tried that, but nothing is affecting the title/font (color, size,
   kind).
    The theme is [http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/german-newspaper](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/german-newspaper).
   Thanks for your help.

 * the style for the head title is in :
    [http://yourwebsite.com/wp-content/themes/german-newspaper/css/style-1024.css](http://yourwebsite.com/wp-content/themes/german-newspaper/css/style-1024.css)
 *     ```
       #header h2
       {
       	font-size:44px;
       	font-style:italic;
       	font-weight:bold;
       	font-variant:small-caps;
       	font-family:Georgia;
       	letter-spacing:2px;
       	line-height:1;
       	text-align:center;
       	position:relative;
       }
       ```
   
 * with your site url this could have been solved within minutes.

 * Giving a link to the WP download site still makes it difficult for people to 
   help you…for example, I would need to download it, install it on my site, and
   then look for a solution to your problem. If you gave a link to your site where
   you are using this, then all I would need do is look at it through Firebug. A
   link to your actual site where you are using this theme may help you get better
   help.

    you are right – however
   sometimes the theme can be viewed as a live demo, and then searched with firebug.

 * > however sometimes the theme can be viewed as a live demo,
 * That’s true…sometimes one can do that…but nothing replaces actually looking at
   the site that has the problem.
