    I'm using "Monochrome Pro" and it looks great. It includes a number of fonts;

    'Muli' 'Helvetica Neue' & 'Open Sans Condensed'

    However when I look at the Google Webfonts:

    //fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Muli:200,300,300i,400,400i,600,600i|Open+Sans+Condensed:300

    'Helvetica Neue' isn't listed nor is it part of Google Font or Adobe Type Kit.

    Where is this font being pulled from in this theme?

    Thanks

    Helvetica Neue is a default system font.

    I don't think Helvetica Neue is default on windows is it? If not, then why is studeopress using Helvetica Neue in a theme without including it?

    Generic fonts are included to at least approximate a consistent display. Monochome Pro includes the following header font-family:

    font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

    A directive like this covers any and all browsers and operating systems. Browsers will interpret this line as:

    If Helvetica Neue is available as a system font, then use it to display this content. If Helvetica Neue is not available, then use Helvetica if it is available. If neither of the two Helvetica variants are available, then use Arial. If none of the prior three fonts are available, the use whatever font is defined in the browser as the default sans-serif font.

    Hi Victor,

    Thanks. I already know how fonts work. But arial is not the same as helvetica.
    Yes, they are both sans serif, but they are not the same font.

    Since most of the studeopress themes use google fonts, I was surprised they went back to the old ways of depending on the users system fonts. Sure, it loads faster, but you don't get to specify a specific font.

    I guess I'll replace it with a google font.
