  is there no way to make changes to my blog for free?
  I’m new at this and it seems that a free blog theme should come with the fonts that appear on the demo.

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

  If you are expecting to be able to click a button and change fonts throughout your blog then it’s not that easily done. These are 3 ways to change fonts on wordpress.com blogs.

  (1) Changing font families, colors and size in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page by coding into the HTML editor. http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/font-size-color/

  (2) Changing font colors in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page using the #4 icon (Select text color – change the text color) in Row 2 the Visual editor. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2

  (3) Changing all font families, colors and sizes throughout the whole blog by purchasing an annually renewable Custom Design upgrade and using Typekit Fonts with Staff support. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
  Note: Any font changes to font families, colors and size in the blog title, tagline, post titles, page titles cannot be done without CSS editing.

  I bought the upgrade because of how easy you made it look now I go to use it and that is not there any more and I am taken to the other site. That site is telling me that I need to upgrade my account with them so what did I pay for…

  @drheights48127, you purchased the Custom Design upgrade here at wordpress.COM?

  Once there was ‘Typekit fonts’ option, which allowed you to do it for free. But now It’s included in custom-design upgrade. However, I’ve manually changed the fonts on my blog by the method @timethief earlier discussed. One with no upgrade should try it.
