Hello, I'm having a bit of trouble trying to change fonts on my forum here => http://pokemon-roleplay.forumotion.com/ As you can see it's the default style. I've been trying to add fonts from here => http://www.dafont.com/ by downloading them, then typing the name of the Font in the Font Face boxes in AdminPanel : Display : Colors. However, when I save it, the font doesn't change. Any help is appreciated.

Re: Changing Fonts
Yeah, I made sure I installed them, though they still didn't appear. Did I not install them correctly or was it the font? I used a font from the Bitmap section on the Fontsite I mentioned.

Re: Changing Fonts
After downloading did you add them with CSS?

Re: Changing Fonts
It depends on what you want to add this font to. For example, you can use the wildcard selector to add the font to all elements :
It's not ideal, but it's a good way to see if the font is supported for your device.
- Code:
* {
font-family:Papyrus, sans-serif;
}

Re: Changing Fonts
It may not be supported. You can use websites like Google Fonts to find a font that you can use. These should work for everyone so long as their browser is up to date.
Example :
Go to Quick use > choose standard and copy the href into your address bar to get the font-face rule. Place the copied rule at the top of your stylesheet, then you should be able to use it in any rule.

- Code:
@font-face {
font-family: 'Indie Flower';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: local('Indie Flower'), local('IndieFlower'), url(http://fonts.gstatic.com/s/indieflower/v7/10JVD_humAd5zP2yrFqw6nhCUOGz7vYGh680lGh-uXM.woff) format('woff');
}
* { font-family:'indie flower' }
