Since the thread you posted on is 2 years old and I don't want to necropost on it, I will reply to your questions here.

Where do you find the "Common.css"? Is it in your files, the Wikia, or somewhere else?

I'm lost and I don't know what to do.

There are 2 areas where you can find CSS and JS. There's wiki-wide, and personal CSS. Your personal CSS pages are found at Special:MyPage/global.css (only on this wiki, community central, however), and Special:MyPage/common.css.

Your personal JS (Javascript) pages are found at similarly named spaces, except the css is replaced with js. So it would be Special:MyPage/global.js and Special:MyPage/common.js.

To change a font for a single wiki you visit, you would use your "common.css" page on the wiki you want it to affect. If you want to apply the change across all of wikia for yourself, you would use the global.css page.

These changes only apply to you, hence the term "personal css/js." Wiki-wide CSS and JS can only be used by administrators, and there are restrictions noted in the Customization Policy. I won't talk about that, since it would make this post at least twice as long.

Hope this answers your questions, and remember, the changes will only take effect after the cache updates/gets bypassed.
