  Hi there,

  I want to personalize my free wordpresssite http://www.moeremansandsons.com or better moeremansandsons.wordpress.com

  I made my own font and I would like to apply it on my wordpresssite. I know that, with a free wordpress site you can not change the font, so I was thinking about buying the ‘Custom Design’ upgrade. But I think that this will not include the fact that I can use my own font, but only ‘custom’ fonts. Is this correct?
  Because it would be silly buying it, if I can not use my own font with it.
  Is there an other way? Another upgrade that will make me able to use my personal made font in the wordpress?

  thank you for the help!
  greets

  That’s not allowed. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs. Provided you purchase an annually renewable custom design upgrade http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/ you can change fonts however, the only fonts you can use are TypeKit Fonts. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/

  There is no upgrade that changes what I just said. You cannot use your own fonts.

  Thank you for your quick respond.
  So there is no way I can use my own font with wordpress. No matter what I upgrade, buy or change? Only the TypekitFonts?

  The only option than, if I really want is, is to stop with wordpress and build the site on my own (which I’m not going to do, but just to check).
  Is that correct?

  I have already stated that you cannot use your own fonts on any free hosted WordPress.COM blog – period. See here for greater clarity on the differences > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You can hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own self hosted WordPress.ORG site. http://wordpress.org/ Then you can move your content from your WordPress.com blog into it by export and import. http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/
