Re: Change font in template with custom font?

It depends on what you mean by 'custom font'. It will depend on whether your visitor has the desired font installed.

Install the Firefox browser and the Firebug plugin. You can use that to see where in the stylesheet(s) those elements are styled.

As an example, add the red part here in stylesheet_main.css:

.tabTable {margin:0px 0px 5px 0px; border-left:1px solid #E1E1E1; font-family: courier;}

If you weren't using a Template Monster template, advising would be a lot easier.

Check out Google's webfonts.

Unless you do something similar to that, the user's installed fonts take control.
