How can I change the default font for a Jekyll website
Edit the file style.scss
located at the root of the jekyll instance, you can change the font from this:
body {
...
font: 18px/1.4 $helvetica;
}
to this:
body {
font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
}
or whatever font you want.
If you want to make it better, use variables, add them to _sass/_variables.css
$times: "Times New Roman", sans-serif;
and then change in style.scss
:
body {
font: 18px/1.4 $times;
}

The answer you mention telling is to edit your _config.yml file by adding the font names. i prefer add your font in sass file.
