  I’m thinking of transfering my blog to .org but I was wondering if I’ll still be able to use the fonts I have now, witch are part of the custom design upgrade.
  Thanks.

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

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org run on different software. The theme is not exportable. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/

  Hi there,
  You have domain mapping:
  If you’ve registered your domain through WordPress.com and now want it to point to a blog or website hosted elsewhere then you can do this by updating the nameservers. The nameservers control where traffic for the domain goes using DNS. If you are moving from WordPress.com to a self-hosted WordPress.org blog, you can enter the nameservers provided by your web hosting company to switch your domain to their hosting service. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#update-nameservers
