Hello premieroffroad,

before you get too far, please do a few things:

1. read the forum rules:

2. Bookmark (and read) the forum FAQ:

3. Update your forum signature with your EXACT version of xcart.

OK, now, to answer your question -- have you ever edited html or CSS? Have you ever used Google and done a simple search?

One of many sites explaining the limitations of fonts on the web.

You will edit your CSS file /skin1/skin1.css to change the fonts used on your site.

For example, you may have an entry that looks like this:

BODY,DIV,TH,TD,P,INPUT,SELECT,TEXTAREA,TT {
    FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif;
    COLOR: #550000;
    FONT-SIZE: 10px;
}

So if you want the font-family to change, make it something else.

If you don't have html and/or css editing skills, you will need to acquire them before you get too deep -- or you will probably get frustrated quickly.

For these skills, google is your friend. There are countless pages on the net with tutorials and hand holding, for those ready to learn.

You also may want to check out http://www.lynda.com/ -- a huge library of video tutorials. If you can't get it from watching a lynda.com tutorial, you probably should hire someone to do it for you.

Good luck.
