    Hi,

    I am using Remobile theme.

    This is an odd issue that I just can't seem to get to the bottom of. The colon symbol (:) isn't displaying correctly when used in the body of a post or page. It is displaying as a single dot. See here for an image of what I mean:

    Is this just the way the font is, or a CSS issue or what? How can I fix it? Thanks so much.

    Sorry to say, but this is a known problem with the Neuton font. Apparently there is some kind of "error" with that font, and the colon does not display.

    If you want to change the weight, it seems that the colon displays sometimes...but that probably won't work for you.

    You'll have to use a different font if you really need a colon. Maybe you can use a dash instead of the colon.

    Ah, thank you so much Moody! That is super helpful. I wouldn't have thought the font would have an error like that, but yes, you're correct.

    So, the next question is, what is the best and safest way to replace a font on a Genesis child theme? Just find and replace Neutron with another fond name in the CSS file or am I overlooking something?

    I'm glad that helped.

    In regard to changing the font, you might want to read these...regarding Google fonts and Typekit fonts:
