    In CSS, try defining fonts for

    #idPrimaryContentBlock1Content H1.pageTitle

    Re: how to change functional page title font?

    If you are unfamiliar with CSS, you might want to do a search on the internet for a CSS primer and get yourself familiar with it in general.  There are great primers out there and that is how I am learning.  No need to repeat what they can say better.

    WA has a good CSS editor - to answer your specific question, open the editor and add the following in an appropriate place in your CSS (which may just be a blank screen if you have not done any  CSS customizations . . . ) 

    #idPrimaryContentBlock1Content H1.pageTitle
    {
        font-family: comicsans;
    }

    HOWEVER - I can't recommend using a specialty font in a website.  Only people that happen to have that font installed on their PC will see it on their webpage - rest of people will see the default font, which if you have not detailed in your CSS will default to whatever the browser defaults to I think. 

    Arial and Verdana are pretty "safe" bets for web pages.  A lot of sites that you see specialty fonts on, the text you are seeing is actually an image.

    I could not agree more about NOT using non-standard fonts - this can really mess things up for some users.

    Thanks gypse for the detailed info.

    To Chief: 

    We are a little confused here: We set up H3 as "Comic Sans MS" under Web Page Content (Customize Colors and styles), Member Directory pages show as Comic Sans MS correctly but not Application pages, forum and blog pages...we view them in the same computer...Is it normal?

    The only way to change page title fonts are through CSS? Not  Customize Colors and styles?

    Yes, for now only through CSS. We have been reworking all functional pages to use the same common HTML structure and this work will be concluded as we release 2.36 udpate. We will then update Customize Colors and Styles function to apply to all functional pages as much as possible.
