 * Hi!
 * I’m new to wordpress and not very knowledgable with code so please bear with 
   me!
 * I’d like to make the page titles and general font different from the current 
   selection. Is there a recommended approach for how to download new fonts? Recommended
   plugin?
 * Thanks for any help/insight!
 * Tim

 * You would need to edit your theme’s stylesheet to change the fonts.

 * i found myself on the “edit themes” area of my page. the code lists the different
   font styles. how do i go about downloading & adding new ones? code appears as
   the following:
 * <?php
    /** * [@package](https://wordpress.org/support/users/package/) WordPress*
   @subpackage Constructor */ return array( // sans-serif ‘Arial,Helvetica,sans-
   serif’, ‘”Arial Black”, Gadget,sans-serif’, ‘”Comic Sans MS”,Helvetica,sans-serif’,‘
   Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif’, ‘”Lucida Sans Unicode”,”Lucida Grande”,sans-serif’,‘”
   MS Sans Serif”,Geneva,sans-serif’, ‘”MS Serif”,”New York”,sans-serif’, ‘Symbol,
   sans-serif’, ‘Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif’, ‘”Trebuchet MS”,Helvetica,sans-serif’,‘
   Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif’, ‘Webdings,sans-serif’, ‘Wingdings,”Zapf Dingbats”,
   sans-serif’,
 *  // serif
    ‘”Book Antica”,Times,serif’, ‘”Bookman Old Style”,Times,serif’, ‘Garamond,
   Times,serif’, ‘Georgia,Times,serif’, ‘”Palatino Linotype”, “Book Antiqua”, Palatino,
   serif’, ‘”Times New Roman”,Times,serif’,
 *  // monospace
    ‘”Courier New”,Courier,monospace’, ‘”Lucida Console”,Courier,monospace’,‘”
   Monotype Corsiva”,Courier,monospace’, ); ?>

 * I’m not familiar (yet) with Constructor theme but the stuff you’re looking at
   are fonts installed on most computers out there today. FOr compatibility, you’d
   best stick with them. And, you can’t “download & add new ones”. The fonts that
   the browser uses are installed on the visitor’s machine. There are web technologies
   that are gaining popularity that download web fonts from a central server on 
   demand. Google Web Fonts is one and Typekit is another. There’s a WP plugin or
   two that will do this or you can edit your CSS and not bother running the plugin
   code.
 * That said, there are changes you can make to your theme type display. The file
   you want to be looking in is style.css in the theme directory. That is where 
   the font specifications for the specific locations on the page/post will be called
   out. Change them there to your liking.

 * Great, thank you. I downloaded the Google Web Font plug-in. The only thing I’m
   trying to figure out is how to make the font for my page’s different from everything
   else.
