I'm currently using a cobmination of these two themes. It is unfortuate the font size/type changes when all I want is a back ground color layout change.
I like the Carbonite font type and size, how do I make fonts in Gradient Grey match Carbonite?
I have a dateline to show a client this site by Sunday and there's so much more to do.
Thanks.

I'm sorry you feel this way. Themes are designed to stand on their own, designers can't possibly make it so that the fonts are all uniform :D :rolleyes

I'm sorry that you are in a rush. I hope this is helpful.

The easiest thing to do, is simply VIEW source on the pages. Doing so, shows that Carbonite uses Myriad Pro font (if you have it available on your system) and then Arial if you don't. So, use your customization panel to change the font, but remember this will change for your whole site. Does this make sense?

Thanks Andy.

I like the idea that it changes the whole site. I can choose a font that's close to Myriad, it doesn't have to be it. I just want uniformity.

Regarding the execution, I know how to view source now but I don't know what I'm looking at. How much of it should I copy and I'm guessing it goes into the CSS block?

Sorry, I really need some handholding here :( Please be patient with me.

I have other questions about layout which I'll make a seperate post so that it is easier for others to search.

Hi :)

If you want the font family from Carbonite throughout, add this to the top of your CSS code box:

body {
font-family: "Myriad Pro", arial, sans-serif !important;
}

That should take care of it.
