    Hi - I would appreciate help please. I am new at using firebug and am trying to change the fonts for People, Places, Things and Nature.

    I used Brian's description of how to change fonts http://www.studiopress.com/tips/google-web-fonts.htm and added Ubuntu to .css stylesheet - at the top - I hope i did it right.

    Now I don't know where in .css to change the font for People, Places, etc......

    I used Firebug and it said line 158 but I don't know how to find line 158 in editing screen - how do I do that.

    .........................

    I would also like to make Writing & Photography a bit smaller - where do I find the area to change the font size please.

    Thanks.

    I would download a copy of your style sheet and open it using a tool like Notepad++. Then you can easily search and find the classes you want to style with your font:

    This is the preferred method of adding Google Web fonts now in your child themes functions.php file:

    //* Enqueue Google fonts
    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'your_google_fonts' );
    function your_google_fonts() {
    
    	wp_enqueue_style( 'google-font', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu:400,400italic', array(), CHILD_THEME_VERSION );
    
    }

    Hi - Do I add this coding at bottom of php page?

    And do I take out what I put on the .css page before I do this?

    Thanks - heather

    Yes. Add PHP code in your functions file and remove the other method from your style sheet.

    Then you could use something like this:

    .home-featured .widget-title {
    font-family: Ubuntu;
    font-size: 20px;
    font-size: 2rem;
    font-weight: 300;
    }
    

    Or this to style only 1 widget title:

    .home-featured-1 .widget-title {
    font-family: Ubuntu;
    font-size: 20px;
    font-size: 2rem;
    font-weight: 300;
    }
