   Hello roppy,

   1. Add this in Dashboard -> your theme -> General Settings -> Custom CSS,

   .slide_title { font-size: 20px !important; color: red !important; }
   .slide_content { font-size: 12px !important; color: blue !important; }

   2. Add this,

   .call_to_action span {
       color:  red !important;
       font-size: 20px !important;
   }

   You can change that when editing your skin. It should be in the "Intro" section, the "Call to Action Font".

   Hi Elliot - I've seen you post about changing the color and size on the slide titles - what is the code for changing the font (I'm looking at airplanesinthenightsky font)? I assume I can also change the font for the slideshow descriptions?

   Thanks for your help!

   See my first post. If you want to use a custom font then I recommend the WP Google Fonts plugin, http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-google-fonts/.

   HI Elliot, I think I'm totally missing something. I'd like to use the cufon font titled airplanesinthenightsky that comes with the theme. I've already very easily changed my site title to this font but cannot seem to get the slide titles to change to this font.

   My latest attempt was to add the following to my customs css section on the general tab:

   .slide_title {
   font-family:airplanesinthenightsky !important;
   }

   That's a Cufon font and you will need to add this to Dashboard -> your theme -> General Settings -> Custom Javascript,

   jQuery(document).ready(function(){
   Cufon.replace('.slide_title', { fontFamily: 'airplanesinthenightsky' );
   });

   If you haven't selected this font anywhere in your skin then you will also need to load it in Dashboard -> your theme -> General Settings -> Additional Headers,

   <script type = 'text/javascript' src = 'your domain/wp-content/themes/dejavu/lib/scripts/fonts/airplanesinthenightsky.js'></script>

    Did you make sure to switch "your domain" with your actual domain name? Go ahead and install the WP Google Fonts plugin and use your CSS code with it.

    Hi Elliot,

    I have the following in the additional headers field:
    <script type = 'text/javascript' src = 'http://www.betteroffwell.com/wp-content/themes/dejavu/lib/scripts/fonts/airplanesinthenightsky.js'></script>

    I do have WP Google Fonts plugin installed and I put the following in the custom css box for font 1 options section:

    .slide_title {fontFamily: 'airplanesinthenightsky' ; !important;}

    The CSS you used here should be working, http://mysitemyway.com/support/topic/slider-changes#post-65422.

    Are you sure you have the font loaded with the WP Google Fonts plugin? You can download it here, http://www.dafont.com/airplanes-in-the-night-sky.font.

    Send us a link to your page.

    Ok I'm lost now and I'm usually smarter than this. I thought the font was part of the theme since I easily used it for my site title.

    I have gone ahead and downloaded the font but I see nothing on the plugin settings page that shows how to add it nor on the plugin's documentation page.

    There was a typo in the code I posted, use this,

    jQuery(document).ready(function(){
    Cufon.replace('.slide_title', { fontFamily: 'airplanesinthenightsky' } );
    });
