Changing the fonts on a webpage involves specifying the desired font-family and other related properties such as font-size, font-weight, and font-style in your CSS. Here are the steps and different methods to achieve this:

Basic Font Styling

  1. Using System Fonts

You can use the default system fonts available on the user's device.

body {
  font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}

h1 {
  font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;
}

Importing Fonts

Using Google Fonts

Google Fonts is a popular source of web fonts that you can easily integrate into your website.

  • Step 1: Go to Google Fonts, select a font, and click on "Select this style".
  • Step 2: Copy the provided <link> tag into the <head> of your HTML file.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Document</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:wght@400;700&display=swap">
  <style>
    body {
      font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
</body>
</html>

Using @font-face

You can also use the @font-face rule to include custom fonts stored on your server.

  • Step 1: Upload the font files (e.g., .woff, .woff2, .ttf) to your server.
  • Step 2: Define the font using @font-face in your CSS.
@font-face {
  font-family: 'MyCustomFont';
  src: url('fonts/MyCustomFont.woff2') format('woff2'),
       url('fonts/MyCustomFont.woff') format('woff');
}

body {
  font-family: 'MyCustomFont', sans-serif;
}

Font Properties

Font Properties

You can use various CSS properties to fine-tune the font styling.

  • font-size: Adjusts the size of the text.
  • font-weight: Sets the weight (thickness) of the font.
  • font-style: Sets the style of the font (normal, italic, oblique).
  • line-height: Sets the height of lines of text.
  • letter-spacing: Adjusts the space between characters.
  • text-transform: Controls the capitalization of text (uppercase, lowercase, capitalize).
p {
  font-size: 16px;
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: italic;
  line-height: 1.5;
  letter-spacing: 0.5px;
  text-transform: uppercase;
}

Example: Combining Everything

Here's an example combining different methods to change fonts and apply additional font properties:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Font Styling Example</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Open+Sans:wght@400;700&display=swap">
  <style>
    @font-face {
      font-family: 'MyCustomFont';
      src: url('fonts/MyCustomFont.woff2') format('woff2'),
           url('fonts/MyCustomFont.woff') format('woff');
    }

    body {
      font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
    }

    h1 {
      font-family: 'MyCustomFont', sans-serif;
      font-size: 2.5em;
      font-weight: 700;
    }

    p {
      font-size: 1em;
      font-weight: 400;
      line-height: 1.6;
      letter-spacing: 0.02em;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Custom Font Heading</h1>
  <p>This is a paragraph with a Google font.</p>
</body>
</html>
