You spoke before, Rich, of some … ahh … source for these; but I don’t know what that is, and am therefore obliged to ask you.
Can’t get Ubuntu to show up in me widget text …

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

Heh, you mentioned Ubuntu and I immediately thought of the Linux operating system instead of the Typekit font. :)

Here you go. Find .textwidget in your custom CSS and fix the font stack to look like the following, which is the Typekit generated font stack. As we’ve discussed before, it had the serif fonts in it instead of sans-serif, so I’ve fixed that.
```
.textwidget {
    color: #000000;
    font-family: ubuntu-1, ubuntu-2, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 12px;
}
```

Speaking of the O/S, my mate Matt (not The Matt!) uses Linux and reckons that as long as you go for Ubuntu you’re laughing.
Now, Rich, I have a totally off the wall question, at which you are NOT ALLOWED to piss yourself laughing, OK?! … how difficult is Linux Ubuntu to learn?
******************
If you felt like directing me to the source you use for these font-families, it would be ONE measly topic I didn’t need to bother you with. But if it’s a tsikrit, I don’t mind at all!
Wasn’t it weird, that serifed font business?! :-
And you know what? – THANK YOU! :-D

Linux requires some knowledge of it to be able to make the most of it, but the Ubuntu interface (which rides on top of Linux) is pretty nice actually. Still there is the whole learning curve thing to deal with.

And of course, you are welcome.
