Site Name font

Permalink
I had asked before about how I could change the font of my page title and everyone told me to change it in the body text,but what I'm trying to change is the site name that appears on every page and it's entered on the sitewide tab of the dashboard. I'm using the Chocolate template and would like to change the font to some type of script or caligraphy.

Hi

Fonts are a tricky thing on the net, sadly. It is a case of does the visitor have the font you have chosen on their computer, if it is a non standard font the answer is probably no.

You do have a couple of options here though.
1. Make the site name an image, this means you can use any font you like and all visitors will see that font. You can add the image by following the instructions herehttp://www.concrete5.org/documentation/how-tos/editors/edit-or-remo...

2. @Font face, this is the ability to install a specific font on a visitors computer so that your pages will show as you want them. You will need to do some homework on this one as it is too large a topic for me to waffle on here.

Hope that helps

Google fonts is wonderful:http://www.google.com/webfonts/...
You can see an example of Dancing Script here:http://www.chrisattaway.com/

Heres how:
Get Dancing Scripts css code from google. It looks like this: <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Dancing+Script' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

Put this in your header.php file just before the main.css
Then adjust your typography.css to add this:

h1#logo{
   font-size: 32px;
   font-family: "Dancing Script", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}


The font size will probably be bigger to accommodate the script-y font.

Is this a live site with a live url? If so send it. Are you familiar with editing html and css?
