  I’m afraid none of the TypeKit fonts have Hebrew characters, so the custom fonts won’t work for you. If that impacts your decision to keep the Custom Design upgrade or your premium theme, please let me know.

  hi liz,
  No It does not impact our decision to keep the custom design upgrade because we work with it for other purposes but I would be happy to know if their is an alternative solution to this problem.
  thanks

  Do you have a specific font in mind? I’m happy to help you change the font using CSS. We may run into the same problem if the font you choose doesn’t include Hebrew characters, but I’m happy to work with you to see what we can work out.

  It needs to be a font or font family that is standardly available, otherwise it won’t show up for all of your viewers. If you could find a site that has a font that you like and send me the URL, I may be able to find info about the font in the source code. Then we can use that info to add CSS to your site that would display that font.

  hi, I found a font that is standardly used ” Segoe UI”. this font was developped by microsoft, I read that for Mac you have to enclose a code. This is the code I found on one of the forums :
  @font-face
  {
  font-family: “segoe UI”;
  src: url(“fonts/Segoe UI.ttf”) format(“truetype”);
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: normal;
  }

  I hope this will help solve the problem …..
  thanks very much for your help

  I’m not able to get that one to work. Two options that do work are Arial and Tahoma. If you paste the codes below (one at a time) in your site’s CSS box, you can check to see if either one of them will work for your.

  Tahoma

  div{
  font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif;
  }

  Arial

  div{
  font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;
  }

  Do you mean the fonts don’t look the way you want, or you couldn’t get the CSS to change the font? If it’s the first, I can’t help, but if the CSS didn’t do anything, I can help you fix that problem.

  hi, I tried againe and this time it worked ! In the first round I copied the word ” arial”, that’s why it did not work. Thank-you so much for your quick and gerenous help.

  I have an other question if it’s ok. I would like to increase the size of the social icons on the home page. How do I proceed ? thanks

  You can increase the size of the social media icons using the following CSS:

  .widget_wpcom_social_media_icons_widget .genericon {
    font-size: 30px;
  }

  Just copy and paste that under Appearance -> Customize -> CSS!
