  Fonts on my blog are varying from post to post when I am copy and pasting text into the post. If I select the text and try to change it to format, paragraph or pre-formatted some text changes, some does not.

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

  when I am copy and pasting text into the post

  Copying and pasting text from elsewhere without using either icon 5 or icon 6 in Row 2 of the visual editor is what the issue is. See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text

  Go to Settings > Writing and select “ ___ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then scroll down and click “Save Changes.”

  Posts > All Posts, change all your latest posts to Draft, click Update, change them back to Published, click Update again. (You can edit all 3 of them at once: tick the square in front of their titles then select Edit from the Bulk Actions dropdown and click Apply.)

  Both of these blogs are displaying the font that the themes are designed to display:
  http://sarahelizaphotography.wordpress.com/
  http://sarahelizafmp.wordpress.com/

  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: 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 purchasing an annually renewable custom design upgrade and doing the required CSS editing. 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/

  It’s on the sarahelizafmp blog I am having trouble. It isn’t that I want to change the font size or colour etc. I just want all the font to display in the same format which is the one that came with the theme. The posts that aren’t displaying properly are:

  http://sarahelizafmp.wordpress.com/2013/03/20/initial-final-major-project-ideas/

  and more…

  As you can see some of the font is the paragraph font yet if i highlight all the font in the post and change it to paragraph, some remains the same
