Site wide change of font with @font-face

Permalink
So this is basically two questions:

I've read the how to on @font-face and what I want to know is a basic little detail. Does this make that font available through the fonts drop down menu?

The second question I have is, I need to make a site-wide change to the new font for body content, Where do I do this?

Many thanks!

To include your custom fonts in the edit drop down, you will need an add-on.

This should help:http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/fontsmart/...

To make a change to a body content font, make sure you include the font in your main css and call the font from the main css.

Example:
body{font: .9em/1.3 'Custom Font', Arial, sans-serif;

The first question is not clear to me.

The second one you could do in your .CSS file. Call the @font-face in your .CSS file. And then 'Add' that font to you're body font-family. If you use Google Fonts you might want to use @import instead of @font-face.

body {
font-family: 'your-font', arial, helvetica;
}

Add the Google font call to your header.php
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Gabriela' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>


Then add the reference to the font in your main css.
h1 {font-family: 'Gabriela', serif;}

Do you have an 'elements' folder or something similar?

How many css files do you have?

Hi! Okay I'll look for it over there, sorry I know it's hard to help a person that's so lost :)

And where do I find the header.php?

Thanks!

P.S. Would you mind quickly discussing this over an email conversation? It'll be faster and then I can get to implementing these changes :)
