Changing post fonts in going green pro

[sdavenport]

Hey Folks;
I wish to change the fonts in the post for my site as well as make them darker.
Having trouble finding the code area in the CSS to make this change.
Another post said to find line 1177 to darken the fonts but when I paste the CSS file into PSPAD line 1177 is empty and nothing close by serves the purpose.

I would also like to change the fonts to AERIAL if this would not break the theme as the LATO-LIGHT is a little too light for me.
Inspect Elements says this:
@font-face {
font-family: "Lato";
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 300;
src: local("Lato Light"), local("Lato-Light"), url("http://fonts.gstatic.com/s/lato/v11/EsvMC5un3kjyUhB9ZEPPwg.woff2") format("woff2");
}

Can I change this to AERIEL without doing any damage?
Thank you in advance.

Your css seems to be minified, but I imagine the source file is still style.css. Either way, search for this in whichever file you're using:

body {
    background: #e1dfd4 url(/wp-content/themes/going-green-pro/images/pattern-light.png);
    color: #7a7768;
    font-family: 'Lato',sans-serif;
    font-size: 16px;
    font-weight: 300;
    line-height: 1.625;
}

Change it to:

body {
    background: #e1dfd4 url(/wp-content/themes/going-green-pro/images/pattern-light.png);
    color: #7a7768;
    font-family: arial, sans-serif;
    font-size: 16px;
    font-weight: 600;
    line-height: 1.625;
}

The arial font doesn't need single quotes around it, as it's a default font, but just in case we keep in sans-serif as a fallback. The font-weight is what makes it darker, and 600 is darker than 300 - feel free to keep arial at 300 to see how you like it, then try 600 to see if that font being darker works for you.

Like I said, these changes should go in style.css - the inspector shows a modified file, but I don't know of any themes not using style.css, so it should go there, and that file should be reuploaded to your server. If you're editing css by another means (directly through the editor, plugin, etc), I'd advice against not doing that, and you should make it a practice to edit the stylesheet, and then upload it.
