  Have you tried using the Font settings in the customizer?

  You are entering that code and it will not work. See: https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-fonts/#changing-fonts

  These Google fonts can be used free of charge on any theme.
  https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2015/07/31/free-google-fonts/ and you will find them in the customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

  If you are referring only to the text inside of your posts and pages you can make some changes without an annually renewable upgrade.

  For 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 see http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/07/11/formatting-text-pt-5/

  For 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

  To display the second row of icons, first select the toolbar toggle icon at the end of row 1 and click it. https://i0.wp.com/en.support.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/kitchensink.png
  Then see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#text-color

  However, if you want to make any font changes to blog titles or widget titles then you need the premium upgrade bundle that includes the custom design upgrade in it.

  See here for details on purchasing an annually renewable Premium or Business plan https://wordpress.com/pricing/ that contains a custom design upgrade required for CSS editing.

  Note 1: Once you have the required upgrade you can use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can create a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need with CSS editing.

  Note 2: You can also post there prior to purchasing an upgrade to get an answer to whether or not what you want to do can be accomplished via CSS editing.

  Oh no! I do apologize as I just belatedly noted that this thread is in the CSS Forum. Please forgive me and be patient while waiting for Staff help.

  Thank you for giving me such a complete answer – I appreciate your time! Yes, I tried the customizer. The site says it may need a few days to completely load (?) so I may just let it rest for today and hit it again tomorrow. Many thanks!

  Again I do apologize but don’t despair as Staff support is provided for CSS editing.

  Hi there, the CSS you referenced is missing the period ( . ) before the wf-active CSS class. Make it look like this and it will adjust the post titles on single post pages.

  .wf-active .single .post-title {
  	font-size:2.2em
  }
