  Just a suggestion really.

  WP.com now offers font customization with many themes (all?).

  I think it would be nice if the post/page editor displayed the chosen font, as it would reflect what the user can expect to see after publishing.

  I edit using wp-admin btw, but a quick look at the new ui I get the feeling that it too doesn’t display the custom font (might be mistaken though, it was a really quick look : )

  All the best, Th

  Hi there. The font can only be changed for the entire theme. You do that in the Customizer. There is no option to switch themes in the post editor, as this can’t be changed on a post-by-post basis.

  All themes can use Google fonts for free, or you can add additional Typekit fonts via the Custom Design feature included in the Premium and Business upgrades.

  @kokkieh
  I know that.
  I was only suggesting that the custom font would be displayed in the post/page editor in wp-admin.

  Ok.. : )
  I can see how I could have been clearer in my initial post..

  Not at all :)

  And FWIW, I think it’s a good suggestion, though I think it might be less easy to implement than one would imagine. But staff will see your suggestion as they monitor all threads in this forum.
