In progress Forum Font Change

Post by Beyonder September 23rd 2020, 8:27 pm

Alright so it's been a while since I posted here but I am coming to an issue where I am trying to change/overhaul my entire forums font. (It's Horror Themed) and I would love to have a "Friday the 13th" style font for the forum.

I asked before I believe in 2017 and no one got back to me about it, so I'm just reposting to see if anyone can help me?

Yes but is this for the overall forum for everyone else or just for me?

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.

Just to let you know it will only work with fonts that are installed on your computer's Mobiles, Tablets,

So only use fonts from this site https://www.google.com/fonts any other fonts will not work on all computers if not installed.

Go to the page of the font that you want and click Select the Font
Then copy the link

Then go to admin panel .., Display ...Templates ...General ... overall_header

You need to add it before the closing </head> tag so find this 
Code:
<!-- END google_analytics_code -->
paste your link after it

now you should see that the </head> tag got red so that means the link you pasted doesnt have end so end it with/like this
Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/..." />

save and publish

Go after to Display ...Colors ....CSS and insert this
Code:
body {
  font-family: "Your Font", sans-serif;
}

 save
