    So I'm using the default theme which uses Lato, I switched to Raleway for my headings in css which worked, then remembered that Raleway is installed in my Windows fonts so of course I'm going to see changes as my browser would recognise it.

    I googled "what fonts are available in genesis" and came across Loading Google fonts in Genesis

    which suggests using function to call it correctly, is this still the case? and does this look OK?

    //* Enqueue Raleway Google font
    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'sp_load_google_fonts' );
    function sp_load_google_fonts() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'google-font-raleway', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Raleway:100,300,700', array(), CHILD_THEME_VERSION );
    }

    I didn't check the url, simply changed "Lato" to "Raleway" and added font weight 100 for my h1's and h2, 300 for my h3's h4's and 700 for my h5's h6's.

    Thanks G

    Yes that is the correct way to do it. And I checked your site and the fonts are working properly.
