Upgrade Typography ?

You would need to edit your theme’s stylesheet to change the fonts.

appreciate the response! like i said earlier, i’m completely new to this. anyway of walking me through how to go about this?

i found myself on the “edit themes” area of my page. the code lists the different font styles. how do i go about downloading & adding new ones? code appears as the following:

<?php
/**
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Constructor
*/
return array(
// sans-serif
‘Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif’,
‘”Arial Black”, Gadget,sans-serif’,
‘”Comic Sans MS”,Helvetica,sans-serif’,
‘Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif’,
‘”Lucida Sans Unicode”,”Lucida Grande”,sans-serif’,
‘”MS Sans Serif”,Geneva,sans-serif’,
‘”MS Serif”,”New York”,sans-serif’,
‘Symbol,sans-serif’,
‘Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif’,
‘”Trebuchet MS”,Helvetica,sans-serif’,
‘Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif’,
‘Webdings,sans-serif’,
‘Wingdings,”Zapf Dingbats”,sans-serif’,

// serif
‘”Book Antica”,Times,serif’,
‘”Bookman Old Style”,Times,serif’,
‘Garamond,Times,serif’,
‘Georgia,Times,serif’,
‘”Palatino Linotype”, “Book Antiqua”, Palatino, serif’,
‘”Times New Roman”,Times,serif’,

// monospace
‘”Courier New”,Courier,monospace’,
‘”Lucida Console”,Courier,monospace’,
‘”Monotype Corsiva”,Courier,monospace’,
);
?>

I’m not familiar (yet) with Constructor theme but the stuff you’re looking at are fonts installed on most computers out there today. FOr compatibility, you’d best stick with them. And, you can’t “download & add new ones”. The fonts that the browser uses are installed on the visitor’s machine. There are web technologies that are gaining popularity that download web fonts from a central server on demand. Google Web Fonts is one and Typekit is another. There’s a WP plugin or two that will do this or you can edit your CSS and not bother running the plugin code.

That said, there are changes you can make to your theme type display. The file you want to be looking in is style.css in the theme directory. That is where the font specifications for the specific locations on the page/post will be called out. Change them there to your liking.

Great, thank you. I downloaded the Google Web Font plug-in. The only thing I’m trying to figure out is how to make the font for my page’s different from everything else.
