The 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 The font has different looks and variants. It can be written 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, Drupal, Weebly, Ghost and you will see all Blogging platform has integrated own Font directory. This will help to load Font while opening 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 look odd with unknown Fonts. So by integrating and hosting fonts in your 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 the rapid refurbishment of the 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.

What is Web Font?

Web Font is generally loaded from the Google server. Those are hosted on the Google Font server.

Step 4 Under the main Font select your Heading Font, Blog Title Font, Blog Description Font, Page Text etc.

Step 5 Finally click Apply to Blog Button from the top right corner of the screen.

However, you can see changes according to your selected Font style. This feature can be used if the variable is defined in your Blogger template. But if you didn’t define any variable then do it manually but select the Fonts from the above lists. The 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 a 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.
