    Hello,
    First of all thank you for this amazing theme. I am really in love wtih it.:)
    I am new in creating a new site, using themes and all stuff, and I have a problem about fonts.
    My site is in Turkish language and, some Turkish letters such as ?,?,? ( I am not sure, you will see the letters I wrote) are shown as different font from the default font in the paragraph it is really really disturbing view.
    I tried many things including adding the line:
    <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=UTF-8″ />
    to the header.php, but it didn’t work.
    Now by using easy google fonts plugin, I changed the font to helvetica ,it seems it is working now. BUT in my home page, which I prefer latest post template, the first paragraphs that are displayed are still with the same default font. Now my question is how can I change the home page font to helvetica?? Btw I am using a child theme and I am new also in child theme issue.
    It become a very long post I know:)
    And again thank you for this beautiful theme:)

    Thanks for the kind words!

    It sounds like the last step remaining is to add a bit of CSS to make sure the homepage uses the Helvetica font. If you can supply a link to your site, I can give you the CSS to do this.

    Yeah sure my site is https://www.itscer.com/ and also I really appreciate if you can help me with changing the fonts of the menu links and stuff.
    Thank you Ben:)

    Sure, no problem ??

    The following CSS should override the default font on all elements of the site:

    body {
  font-family: 'Helvetica', sans-serif !important;
}

    You can add that to the Custom CSS section in the Customizer, or in your child theme’s stylesheet.

    Ah okay, the quotes around Helvetica must have been the issue. Glad it’s working now!
