 * You can change the font on your wiki to whatever you want. Just use css.--697px-CloneWarslogo.jpg

 * You can't do custom fonts, only basic ones such as aerial, monospace, verdanna and the like.--


 * You could ask wikia to upload a custom font you have created and than call it using the @font-face CSS method, but you'd need the font file first. — Sovq 06:19, September 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, guys I am new to this. Could you be a little more specific? Mand&#39;alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 11:19, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

Do you have the font you want to use in the form of a file? .ttf file? If so, then you could try contacting Wikia by Special:Contact and ask them to upload the font on their servers (since you can't do this by Special:Upload on your own) and then import the font on your wiki by using the @font-face method.

If you don't have the file then you need to create or download a free font first. — Sovq 11:29, September 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Uh...can someone do it for me? Tell the contact, I approved it... Mand&#39;alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 20:52, September 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Aaagh! How to do this??? This is so bloody confusing!Mand&#39;alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 22:15, September 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * ...They say they can't do it...Mand&#39;alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 23:56, September 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * For the group: We can't really do it on our end because we don't have any custom fonts loaded. Even if we put it on our server, where would we store it? How would we load it? That's significant engineering time that honestly could be spent more wisely. --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:34, September 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * How do wordmark custom fonts work then? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 12 Sep 2011 5:36 PM Pacific


 * Wordmark custom fonts work because it is an image file. To render all text on the wiki in that font because the font cant be stored anywhere.--
 * So (sadly) we can't do it? :( Mand&#39;alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 03:16, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

@daNASCAT: "We can't really do it on our end because we don't have any custom fonts loaded" - That's not entirely true, is it? For example, the Dragon Age Wiki or Deus Ex Wiki, for the section headings use custom fonts which are available on Wikia's servers. Even though these fonts weren't uploaded on request, they are still available to use by wikis if one knows where they are stored. So it is technically possible, although yes, the time to do that could be spent more wisely.

@Anakin Skyobiliviator: You don't need to upload the font on Wikia's servers to be able to call it on the wiki. If you find a hosting site where you can upload a font and get a direct link to the .ttf file, then you can use that font on your wiki with CSS. I haven't found a site like that, but I imagine it's possible. — Sovq 07:16, September 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sovq, most of these are actually browser dependent. I don't tend to browse around our TRAC code much outside of extensions, but I'm not aware of any font files out on our code server. --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 17:58, September 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, I don't mean titles/wordmarks, I mean the front for the whole wiki, included in articles...Mand&#39;alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 21:24, September 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Is there a reason you keep saying "front" instead of the correct, "font"? It seems very strange. You can try to change the wont for your whole wiki, but it would take a lot of trial and error CSS work and would be restricted to the commonly included fonts in most browsers. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 15 Sep 2011 11:33 AM Pacific
