    hi,
    I am a beginner.

    I have followed these steps to add a typeface with Typekit - it does not seem to work:
    http://www.carriedils.com/how-install-typekit-genesis/

    Typekit script I put in the header (via the WP dashboard):
    <script src="https://use.typekit.net/fbe5ksu.js"></script>
    <script>try{Typekit.load({ async: true });}catch(e){}</script>

    html {font-color:#f33!IMPORTANT;
    font-family:"DIN Condensed",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif!IMPORTANT;
    background:url(/e527a5143c9977b02a6adf58857760da3186a87f/c9291/img/bg1280x905x2-min.png)
    no-repeat center center fixed;
    background-size:cover
    }

    You have to change the font-family in the body tag not the html tag.

    Hi: it now works: the issue came from me missing "*." before the site's URL when linking Typekit to the website.

    I have now another issue: whenever someone clicks a link the link changes typeface for a split second, then the new page is loaded.

    I removed Jetpack, it solved the issue, but removed the "Edit CSS" back-end option where I had all my CSS.

    Has anyone had the same issue and can help?
    thank you
