Now that you have learned how to search and replace hexadecimal color codes, let's customize your theme a bit more.
In this recipe, we're going to see how we can easily modify the fonts used in a WordPress theme and also discuss about the good practices for typography on a WordPress blog.
For this recipe, you'll need exactly the same things that were needed in the Modifying your theme colors recipe—a theme to customize, and a text editor.
A common beginner mistake is to try and use non web-safe fonts on a web site or blog. For example, there are web sites using the Myriad Pro or Segoe UI fonts. These fonts look beautiful, but what if only 10 or less percent of your readers can render it?
The following web-safe fonts can be used on any web sites:
Times New Roman
Arial
Verdana
Courier
Comic
Installed on more than 80% of computers, these two fonts can be used as well:
Trebuchet MS
Century Gothic
