  If you are expecting to be able to click a button and change fonts throughout your blog then it’s not that easily done. There are 4 ways to change fonts on wordpress.com blogs.
  (1) Changing font colors and size on posts or pages either post by post or page by page http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/font-size-color/
  (2) Changing font colors using the #4 icon http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2
  (3) Changing font families using TypeKit Fonts http://typekit.assistly.com/customer/portal/articles/6840-using-typekit-with-wordpress-com
  (4) Changing font families, colors & sizes by purchasing an annually renewable CSS editing upgrade and doing the work yourself

  Please tell us which of the 4 you are having trouble with.

  Well, this all looks a bit complicated..

  My problem was number 3 (typkitfonts) I seem to be stuck and can’t move forward with the process ( i can’t get to the next screen in the line up). However even if I can get it to work … it’s still not easy …

  Maybe if I buy a book about word press I can figure it stuff out.

  thanks for your help!

  TypeKit Fonts are third party providers. Have you tried getting support on their site? http://typekit.com/help
  Also searching the forum for other other threads posted by who have the same theme and who have used TypeKit Fonts may turn up some help. I’m sorry but I don’t have the time to search for you.

  Help please. When I go into my blog the typeface is very small. This has just happened. Any thought on how to change it to the regular size?

  Press Ctrl 0 to reset the zoom of your browser, and see if that helps.

  personally, i am very disappointed that wordpress does not simply give us a font button with a few options.
