Is there an easy way to allow multiple fonts / font-colors on pages ?

    I have almost completed a site under ‘TwentyTen’ and the free plan, and although the sponsor is broadly happy, they have belatedly asked if they can use multiple fonts and font-colors in pages.

    I’m not sure this is aesthetically desirable, but do not wish this to become a show-stopper at this late stage and so am looking for a way to enable it; I would consider going to the Premium plan, but I’m not convinced that actually gives what we want.

    Does anybody know a way to achieve this outside of a self-hosted build ? Note that I have raised this against CSS Customization, but I am looking for a way to avoid having the sponsor have to use CSS / HTML themselves. Thanks.

    Note that I have since seen in action the semi-WYSIWYG Visual editor, which provides a useful text-color facility, as well as the ‘styles’ dropdown.

    Hooray you have found those. Are the choices in the editor giving you what you want?

    Thanks, ‘thesacredpath’: I’m more than happy with that, and also the ability to play with simple text setting such as ‘paragraph’ etc. Relative to what the organisation currently has (-ie a very early-2000s site with ‘/cgi’-style page-edit forms where everything has to be done in raw HTML), WordPress gives a vast improvement in CMS quality: I’ve just got to convince the customer that he doesn’t need different fonts for each new paragraphs ! thanks.

    Ah yes, I’ve been there with clients when I was freelancing. Different fonts for different paragraphs makes it harder for user’s to read things. It is best to have all body content in a single font and then perhaps a different font for headings within the body. Of course, you already know that. :)

    Glad things are working out for you. Let us know if you have additional questions or problems.
