Unable to see font change on my page

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi,
    I recently selected “Fertigo Pro” from typekit.com to be used on my website and after I selected it and clicked on “Publish”, i signed out and signed in again
    to my site but the change was not visible.
    How do i ensure that this font has been applied to my blog site?
    Also, can someone let me know how to use a different font for a heading of a blog, and a different font for the content?

    Thanks! any help will be appreciated!

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

    In order to see which font is being displayed on your blog log out of wordpress.com and view it as if you are a visitor.

    Regardless of which fonts you may wish to choose to jazz up your blog with your browser and your visitors’ browsers can only use the fonts installed in the same computer. Obviously not every visitor to your blog will have the same fonts installed in their computers, so you can immediately see that problems will arise unless you choose to use common fonts.

    If a reader does not have a specific font installed on his / her computer, the browser will determine which font is displayed. There are a very limited number of fonts (in English/Western languages) which are common for most operating systems/computers/browsers.

    I am leaving your last quesrion for another Volunteer to answer.

    @timethief: With TypeKit, even if someone doesn’t have the font installed on their computer already, the blog will still display the custom font. Basically the browser downloads the font automatically. Look at my blog for an example.

    @mysticmindmaze: It takes a few minutes for changes to apply on TypeKit, but I think the problem is that you haven’t told TypeKit where you want the custom font to apply. To find out how to do that, go through the links timethief gave you. If a volunteer is familiar with the theme you are using, you can also wait for their answer to find out what to enter in the “Selector” box.
