  Hi,

  The font styles are specified by the theme you’re using. However, you could use custom fonts and a lot more (CSS customization) if you sign up for a WordPress Premium account ( http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ )

  That being said, there is no simple way to put Comic Sans MS on a website, maybe you’ll need to find an alternative to this font.

  Hope this helps !

  Not correct. No one has to purchase a $99 per year premium upgrade to get CSS editing ability. One can purchase that upgrade separately for $30 per year.

  If you are into fiddling about with font families, sizes and/or colors on each and every post you make by using the Text editor (HTML editor) then you can change it in the body text in posts and pages. But for changing it in Titles and widgets you need to purchase an upgrade.

  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 Text ie. HTML editor. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/07/11/formatting-text-pt-5/

  (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.

  If you do purchase the upgrade then post your threads for help with editing fonts into the CSS Forum https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization
