    Hi, I’d like to customize my blog with “A clockwork orange” look-like font. I’ve already got some fonts installed at my laptop, but how can I use them for my blog? Is there any way?

    Thanks in advance

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

    First, using fonts on the web is not the same as using them on your computer. When you view a web page, in the past web designers would put in a list of fonts (a font stack) and then a visitor’s computer would display whatever the closest match is based on what is installed on their computer. These days, fonts are installed on web servers. But, you can’t just copy them from your computer to a web server. The fonts often have paid licenses and that’s where Typekit comes in. Typekit is a service that lets you pick from a number of server-installed fonts.

    There are 50+ fonts included in the Appearance → Custom Design → Fonts page with the custom design upgrade, but there isn’t anything like the A Clockwork Orange font.

    If you don’t find the font you want in the Fonts tab in your custom design upgrade, then you can switch to the advanced mode and get access to more fonts in the Typekit library, but you do need to purchase a Typekit account or setup a free one to use that. Here are the starter instructions if you’re interested and let me know if you need more help after looking at it: http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/#advanced-mode

    Check out the Typekit library to see if you can find a font that would work: https://typekit.com/libraries/full
