Arial or Verdana font-family?

What is the easiest way to change font-family to Arial,Verdana on the whole website in v3? Tried to do it in style.css by replacing ‘PT Sans’ to Arial,Verdana but it didn’t work.

Thanks

Did you try going to Theme Panel -> Custom Typography?

I did, but unfortunately, the are no Arial or Verdana fonts there.

There are fonts that are similar =)

Close to Arial – http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Open+Sans

Open Sans is on the list…

What you think?

@adgower
I think the query is for using web-safe fonts which don’t load remotely off Google’s CDN.

Some of us wish to use only web-safe fonts for faster page load, and not having to load “fancy fonts” from Google which can be tricky to optimize for PageSpeed Insights.

This is typically the reason for wanting Arial/Verdana, and/or Georgia, Seghoe UI, Trebuchet, etc.

I’m waiting for 3.01 to install, personally, so don’t have any specific advice on how to customize the fonts to web-safe, although that was on Radu’s confirmed ‘to do’ list.

Exactly! Thanks Christopher.

Anyway, I would like to hear from dev team about the solution.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Radu,
I’m also interesting in changing all fonts to Arial. Please adivce me via email.
Thank you

Couldn’t you just hard code them into the style.css in your child theme? I would think that’d work, haven’t tried it though.
