  Is the font “DIN 451” available to use as part of the Custom Design upgrade? It is very important that this font be used for the website we are creating.

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

  The only fonts you can use are Typekit Fonts and no others.

  Is it possible to use the Typekit fonts for anything other than the heading and body text? I’ve modified the CSS to use other fonts — it works for standard fonts (courier, arial, etc), but not for the Typekit ones. Any way to use those?

  Hi there!

  @ianthearchitect:

  I’m afraid that you may use only the standard fonts and the Typekit fonts offered through the Customizer. Since DIN 451 is not on our list of supported fonts, this may not be used. Sorry about that!

  @mrdot:

  I’m pretty sure you can, as long as you reference them correctly in your CSS file and you have an active Custom Design upgrade. As an example:

  font-family: kaffeesatz,"Lato",sans-serif;

  If you can specify which part of your blog you want to use them on, I can help you a lot more effectively.

  Thanks!
