  I have a premium plan and am trying to add my own font to my website. I understand that the only way to add custom fonts is to upgrade to a business plan and install a plugin but I want to make sure a plugin exists that can do what I am looking for before I upgrade. The font I want to use is called ‘Gotham Rounded’ and I have the zip file on my computer for it. Is there a plugin that will allow me to install this font onto my website? Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  add my own font

  Using your own font is not possible on any site hosted by WordPress.COM. See: Moving to self hosted WordPress https://move.wordpress.com/

  Available fonts and font sizes can be changed in the customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

  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 upgrade http://store.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.
