Hi, I'm just getting started putting together a site with Platform Pro. It's my first time building a site so please make the answer dummy-friendly. I would like to change the fonts site-wide to sans-serif fonts: Trebuchet, Verdana & Sans-serif Where do I go about making this change? In the "Text & Fonts" area there only seems to be space for Google Fonts. Thanks, Fiona

Hi Fiona, Are you using the Child theme to do customizations? ANdrew

Hi Andrew, At the moment I'm just working in the main Platform Pro 1.0.9 but I have the Base 1.0.2 in my themes folder and could acivate that. Fiona

Base is a safer bet, because custom changes won't get over written when we update Platform. Basic non-Cufon/google fonts can be added to the base.css such as ` body{ font-family:trebuchet, verdana, sans-serif; } ` and ` .font-highlight, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { font-family:trebuchet, verdana, sans-serif; } `

Hi Adam, I pasted those two pieces in and it has taken effect. Do I now switch back to editing in the main PlatformPro Theme? I only ask because the navigation changes I made there before switching to base are not showing up in the base version. thanks, Fiona

Or should I just be doing it all in Base?

I would do it all in BASE to be safe. Copy over any thing you have placed in Platform

I have base installed and added the following to the "Custom CSS" "Custom Rules" section and nothing changed:

 body{
	font-family:trebuchet, verdana, sans-serif;
	}
	
	.font-highlight, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6  {
	font-family:trebuchet, verdana, sans-serif;
	}

Is there something i'm doing incorrectly?

post a live link to your site and we'll use Firebug to figure out what's going on
