  I cannot figure out how to change the colour of my font or how to use typekit. I have followed all the necessary steps and my font is not changing at all. Can I import font from somewhere other than typekit? Finding it really confusing. Thank you

  Can I import font from somewhere other than typekit?

  No I’m sorry but there is no ability to import fonts from elsewhere. We can use TypeKit fonsts to change font “families”. It cannot be used to change font colors or sizes. The only way to change font colors and sizes throughout the blog is by purchasing a CSS upgrade and doing the CSS editing yourself. This post clearly explains the options and contains all relevant links.

  Why are there no forum posts specifically for fonts? I’m new (1 month) to WordPress. I don’t see any options for selecting font styles, sizes or colors. I’m using the theme, Twenty Ten.

  Do I have to buy an upgrade to change or use other fonts?

  a) You can change fonts, sizes and colors in a post or a text widget using HTML.
  b) You can change the font of any element via Typekit.
  c) To change fonts, sizes and colors of any element once for all, you need the paid CSS upgrade.
