Sorry, ubik76, but I don’t. I’m still pretty new to this, myself, despite my lucky stumble upon the menu solution.

Hm. I haven’t had to do that. I just made a video of the entire process, using my own page as an example, from start to finish. Maybe it’ll help – or maybe something is different between our systems?

I’ve just played around a bit on my own site. Indeed, while I can change the font family (e.g. from Stoke to Open Sans), the “Font Weight/Style” options do not alter the appearance of the font. I’m sorry, but it appears that I am unable to help after all.

Anyone else have any ideas as to why the “Font Weight/Style” option would be ineffective?

After a bit more searching and thinking, I came up with a solution. It requires the “Easy Google Fonts” plugin, which is recommended by the Tesseract theme developer in any case. I discovered that the css class for the menu items is “menu li” – and so the solution is:

1) Go to dashboard > settings > Google Fonts.
2) Click, “create a new font control.”
3) Name it, “Header-Footer Menu.” (Name it anything you like, really, as long as you’ll recognize it.)
4) Click the “Create Font Control” button.
5) Type “.menu li” in the “Add CSS Selectors” box, and press tab.
6) Click “Save Font Control.”

Now, when you go to your page, you will be able to use Customize > Typography to modify the font, just as you would with any “Easy Google” font.

Hope this helps someone!

I am having the same problem: I can change any font but the menu one. Awkward, since I’m designing the site with a font that has serifs, and the menu is sans-serif.
Has anyone found a solution? (I cannot post a URL since I am working on a local host.)
