  Hi there,

  I would like to change my font to Verdana as that is our company’s official font.

  I notice WordPress.com selection has no Verdana.

  Can I find it someplace else or is there a very similar replacement for this font?

  Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi @slsbearings, Verdana is a font installed on virtually all computer systems, so it can be added to the site with CSS. The browser looks to the computer fonts first.

  You can go to Customize > Fonts and click the “X” beside the base font to remove that and then add the following CSS to set it to Verdana.

  html, .fancy, .says, cite, blockquote, input, textarea {
      font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
  }

  If you wish to set Headings to Verdana, that might be a bit more involved as there could be a number of places in the CSS where the font is specified for different h (heading) elements.

  Thank you for your reply. I have switched my font to Verdana by adding your code to CSS.

  How about if I want to change the Heading as well?

  How do I go about it?

  For titles and headings, add the following, which I think from looking catches all of the headings.

  .wf-active h1, .wf-active h2, .wf-active h3, .wf-active h4, .wf-active h5, .wf-active h6, .menu-top-menu {
      font-family: Verdana,Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif !important;
  }
