Changing the font in a post

    Hello.
    I am going to try to make this as simple as possible:
    Currently I can not afford an upgrade, and while I like 95% of my chosen theme, I do want the font of each post to change from times to Goudy Old Style.
    I found a code which allowed me to change the font, how when I did that the text ran on and on rather than going onto the next line as it typically would. I looked further into it and I heard about ‘wraping’ the text, so I found this code:
    <table style=”table-layout: fixed; width: 100%”>
    <tr><td style=”word-wrap: break-word”>LongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongWord</td></tr>
    </table>
    Only when I added this it added a box around the text as well as a scroll.

    Is there anyway I can change my in-post font-face without it running on and on or being within it’s own text box? In other words, is there any way I can have my blog text look as it does now, but with a different font?

    Thank you.

    Yes. The good news is that you can do this for free. The bad news is, you have to hand-code each post of yours in HTML. The shortcut you were using is clearly inferior.
