  I do not like the font used in my theme (Theme: Sundance by Automattic. ). I do not like the reduced height of the numerals.

  I read at http://codex.wordpress.org/Playing_With_Fonts how to change it but not sure what fonts I should stick with.

  Is there a ‘recommended’ set of fonts I should use?

  cheers

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

  The Codex is only for those who have WordPress.org installs. The support documentation here is http://en.support.wordpress.com is only for those with free hosted WordPress.com blogs.
  Being clear about the differences is important > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  These are 3 ways to change fonts on wordpress.com blogs.

  (1) Changing font families, colors and size in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page by coding into the HTML editor. http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/font-size-color/

  (2) Changing font colors in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page using the #4 icon (Select text color – change the text color) in Row 2 the Visual editor. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2

  (3) Changing all font families, colors and sizes throughout the whole blog by purchasing an annually renewable Custom Design upgrade and using Typekit Fonts with Staff support. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/

  Note: A few themes do provide for changing font color in the Blog Title and/or optional Tagline and/or links. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/03/24/color-customisable-themes/ In the majority of themes font changes to font families, colors and size in the blog title, tagline, menu, post titles, page titles, categories and tags, widget headings, comments, and links cannot be done without CSS editing.
