I need some help trying to figure out exactly how do I go about using all the font weights in a font-family?

I am using a font from Typekit.com the Acta Display family, and I have in my kit that I set up to use the Book, Light, Bold and Medium weights and their respective Italic styles as well. However, if I want to set say Acta Display Light Italic for the Post Titles (and not Acta Display Italic) how would I go about doing this in the typography section of the theme panel?

Best way to actually do that is to edit the style.css file to reflect your new font families, doing a search/replace. MUCH simpler, and more efficient, and gets rid of possible flash of unstyled text (FOUT) issues.

Thanks Chris. I’ll try that route on the test site and see if it helps.

Actually, sI’m in the style.css file but for some reason, it’s really hard to locate the exact things I’m after (for example: Post body h1 h2 and h3 and the Quotes)… Is there a cheat sheet listing of the exact selectors used for typography?

finally found them buried way towards bottom, but I’ll report back if the direct fix worked out.
