Change template font...

Hi,
I am wanting to make changes to my current template 'estorenow'. I would like to change the font and have found the part where to do it however putting in any font isnt going to work. How do I get it to display a different font, do I need to upload the font file somewhere for it to read from?
Not sure if what I am asking makes sense!

Thanks
A

Re: Change template font...

I'm not familiar with that template, but Zencart fonts are usually specified in the stylesheet(s). A link to your site would help.

Re: Change template font...

The problem is that your visitors have to have that font installed on their computers, or you'll need a service like Google Fonts to 'push' the font to your visitors. Call me old-fashioned, but I don't believe the appearance of a particular font is important enough to risk making your visitors unhappy by installing a font they may not want on their machines. The font you specified is not available in Google Fonts.

Just my opinion, but I think your site could benefit from a slight increase in font size more than font family.

Re: Change template font...

Hi,
Thanks for the info, so I need to choose a font that is in google fonts? Or is there a list of what is best to use?
I have recently increased size and it does look much better, I am open to making it bigger still but when I do, the links in the left menu split over two lines and I do not like how it looks.
I have tried to increase the with of this column but it increases into the middle part and not into the blank area to its left. Would you know how to do that?

Thanks
A
