    Hello all,

    How I can use a new font (ex: Google fonts )
    could you, please, provide me the entries that I can use via CSS code to modify my website …
    Thanks a lot

    Hi there, you can use any of the Fonts in the Customizer. We cannot add other fonts.

    If you let me know which items you wish to change colors on, I would be more than happy to help with that.

    Thank you so much
    I’d like to change the main font style to another.

    How I can integrate this code line in the Header section?

    <link href=’https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Amiri&subset=arabic,latin’ rel=’stylesheet’ type=’text/css’>

    This code allows me to use google fonts using CSS

    WordPress.com is a mulit-user environment and we all share the same theme and WordPress files, so we cannot edit the theme files here to do things such as adding a line of code to the head section.

    We cannot use fonts from outside of WordPress.com. We can only use the Custom fonts listed in the Customizer under Fonts. You can set two, one for Headings and one for the base font (content, menu, links etc.).

    Have you tried setting custom fonts for headings and base to see what the effect is and also to see if there are fonts that would work for you?

    The base font in Oxygen is set with the following CSS. 

    body {
    font-family: Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;
}

    Just as an example, you could try changing that to 

    body {
    font-family: "times new roman",georgia,serif;
}

    and see what that looks like.

    To be able to use the fonts you are wanting would require you to use the WordPress.org software on another web host. You can read more on that here to see if that would work for you.

    Thank you so much for your reply.
    I know that we can choose fonts style via wordpress, but the problem that all these fonts are “Latin” and there are no ARABIC fonts … so I find that is a very weak side of WordPress towards ARABIC.
    I payed the premium plan to have all fonts BUT I’M SURPRISED to have only latin ones !!!
    I tried the suggested code, but it’s not working, I found the code line:

    html {
	font-family: georgia, Tahoma, "times new roman", 'Amiri', Arial, serif;
	font-size: 1.2em;
}

    ….
    Another question, please,
    how I can modify sections titles in the showcase page using CSS, such like “recent articles” & “more articles”
    Thanks

    You are welcome. I’m checking with the person on our team that takes care of the Custom Fonts for some clarification on Arabic support in the fonts we have available.
