Hi John
You’d need to use Custom CSS for that. If it’s a regular font then you can list it as follows:
body, button, input, select, textarea { font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif !important; }Insert the above into Appearance > Custom CSS. Here is a nice tool to grab font stacks from :http://cssfontstack.com/.
The fonts following the first fonts are fallbacks in case the font isn’t on the rendering computer.
I Added the above CSS – however nothing changed in the site – is there anything else I need to do?
Please leave the CSS in place and send through a link to your site, I’ll take a look. Thanks.

Your body font is now Tahoma. Are there other elements you’d also like to run in that font?
if i listed Verdona 1st would it be verdona?
It would. The list is a fallback list, if the first font isn’t found on your computer the second one will be used and so on. So for Verdana body font:
body, button, input, select, textarea { font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important; }what about the shadow line under the images
(using page builder / visual editor
You can de-activate that Appearance > Customize > Page: Image shadow and rounding.
is body font the same as content font
body in CSS covers everything but the heading font is being declared after we declare the body font so the headings don’t get this font.
So for what we’re looking at here – yes, body and content font is the same.
it doe not apprear to be verdona on my screen – am i doing something wrong??
Your Tahoma Custom CSS is still in place so if you’re looking to select your body from Appearance > Customize, first remove the Custom CSS.
i think that worked – is there a way to check what font is showing?
THANK U – Glad I caught you on line – I’m using this site as a template for 5 more and this is saving me so much time!
For sure.
