Font is the main thing to write and design the
text on a website. There are huge fonts available over the net, but all of them
are not usable. Every font has some unique feature and shape. Suppose Arial
Font has different looks and variants. It can be write with Regular, Bold and
Italic style but Impact font can be write in Regular format. So it has only one
variant.
We already well acquainted with almost all
major Blogging platforms like Blogger, WordPress, Dropal, Weebly, Ghost and you
will see all Blogging platform has integrated own Font directory. This will
help to load Font while open a Website in a non-supported browser. For example
you are using Arimo font in your Website but in your site’s visitors PC hasn’t
installed that font then your site will looks odd with unknown Fonts. So by integrating
and hosting fonts in own Blogging platform it is helping the site owner to run
it smoothly.
The most popular Blogging platform is Google Blogger.
Formerly we have seen there are few fonts were integrated with it. But after
rapid refurbishment of Blogger platform now they have integrated 91 Fonts for
their blogging platform users. This is really good news for existing and
potential Blogger platform users. However we can classify the whole Fonts into 2
categories.
- Default Font
- Web Font
What is Default Font?
Default Font are those which is generic Font
and available in almost all Operating system and support all types of browsers.
Default fonts are very light weight to load so when a website use default font
then that website run fast.
What are the Default Fonts Google Blogger uses?
There are only 7 default Font are available in
Google Blogger which can be use directly on Blogger template. And it is very
light weight. And your site won’t feel any burden to load it with your Blogger template.
- Arial
- Courier
- Georgia
- Impact
- Times New Roman
- Trebuchet
- Verdana
Beside of this we can use some other Font like
Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif which is also available almost on all
operating system. And it will load faster without affecting site loading speed.
What is Web Font?
Web Font is generally loaded from Google
server. Those are hosted on Google Font server. And if you use those web fonts
then every time those fonts load from Google server and at the source Code of
your Blog it generates a CSS file to load the font perfectly. But it is not visible all the time.
What are the Web Fonts Google Blogger uses?
Google Blogger included almost all popular Web
Fonts in Blogger platform. You can use those in Blogger default and custom
template. There are altogether 84 web fonts integrated with Blogger platform. However
if you wish to use different font then you can use from Google Font library.
But you have to add Font CSS file in your Blogger template.

How to use Fonts Directly on Blogger Default Template?
This is very easy to use Google font in
default template. Even in many custom templates now it is supporting
automatically.
Step
1 Log in to your Blogger Account and
Go to your Blogger Dashboard
Step
3 Now Blogger Template Designer option will open. And from there select Advanced Tab -> Main Font. This option maybe come differently in your Blogger template.
Step 4 Under
main Font select your Heading Font, Blog Title Font, Blog Description Font, Page
Text etc.
Step 5 Finally click Apply
to Blog Button from top right corner of the screen.
However you can see changes according to your selected
Font style. This feature can be use if variable is defined in your Blogger template.
But if you didn’t defined any variable then do it manually but select the Fonts
from above lists. Example has given below-
.post{font-family:'Arial';overflow:hidden;font-size:13px;color:#555555;}
In the above example I have used Arial font as font-family. You can use different font. I hope you are now able to change your Blogger template
font easily. After changing the font manually don’t forget to save your Blogger
template.
That’s all about Google’s default and web fonts.
I hope this tutorial will help you to select appropriate Font in your Blogger template.
Thanks Sir .
