With CSS Upgrade Can I Use Different Fonts for Different Posts
-
I see that you are able to pick three fonts with the CSS upgrade, but I am wondering, is there any way to use different fonts in a post? For instance, if I want to use 5 fonts in a single post, or 3 in another, can I do that?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you know how to code then you can do that by using the HTML editor without purchasing a custom design upgrade. 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. 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.
P.S. I’m visually chhallenged and one thing that puts me right off of reading a blog is when posts have multiple fonts, in multiple colors and sizes.

Thank you. I know, that was an extreme example. I doubt I’d really do that, I just wanted to know if I could if was so inclined.
I just wanted to be sure that I actually have the option of using more than one font in a particular post and that they could all be different if I wanted them to be that way. The way I understood the information I read in the help section is that I only get to use three fonts in my blog, and that’s it. But I’d like to use different fonts for different posts.
I’m pretty sure I understood what you said. That the answer is yes I can, but be careful not to turn off the readers. :-)

https://typekit.com/It’s my understanding that changing fonts throughout the blog by using TypeKit fonts does not in any way affect our ability to use (1) and (2) above.

Using CSS, you can set fonts using the font-family property. These are usually added in font stacks. If you use fonts this way, the fonts designated must be present on the viewer’s computer to work. See this for more info:
http://unitinteractive.com/blog/2008/06/26/better-css-font-stacks/If you purchase the Custom Design upgrade through WordPress.com, you can select up to 3 Typekit fonts on the Appearance → Custom Design → Fonts page. Typekit fonts are fonts that are licensed and distributed online, and they don’t need to be present on the viewer’s computer to work. You can use CSS to apply those fonts to any area of your site in different ways.
You also have the option to connect your own Typekit account using the advanced mode in Appearance → Custom Design → Fonts. How many fonts you can select depends on which kind of Typekit plan you setup.
