By default, the **WordPress Classic Editor** does not provide options to change font styles or sizes. However, you can enable these features by installing the **Advanced Editor Tools plugin**. On **ruachost.com**, this allows you to customize text formatting directly in the editor.

## Why Change Fonts?

- Improve readability and accessibility.
- Match your site’s branding and design.
- Highlight headings, quotes, or important content.
- Create a more professional look for blog posts and pages.

## Steps to Enable Font Options in Classic Editor

1. **Log in to WordPress** with an administrator account.
2. In the dashboard, go to **Plugins → Add New**.
3. Search for **Advanced Editor Tools (TinyMCE Advanced)**.
4. Click **Install Now**, then **Activate**.
5. Go to **Settings → Advanced Editor Tools**.
6. Drag and drop the **Font Sizes** and **Font Family** options into the Classic Editor toolbar.
7. Save changes.
8. Open the Classic Editor → You’ll now see font style and size options available.

✅ You can now change fonts directly while editing posts or pages.

## Important Notes

- Always back up your site before installing new plugins.
- Font changes apply only to content created in the Classic Editor.
- For site‑wide font changes, use **CSS** or theme customization instead.
- Excessive font variation may reduce readability, use sparingly.
