    Although it's possible to change to font that you want, Papyrus Bold is not a default fonts for most OS. If the fonts are not present on your visitor's computers (loaded into their operating system), they will not see the fonts you have chosen.

    font-size-adjust:none;
    
    font-style:normal;
    
    font-variant:normal;
    
    font-weight:normal;

    Which part of your blog you want the font to be used? As I mentioned earlier, you will not see it working if you or your visitors don't have the Papyrus Bold font install on the computer.

    FLIR for WordPress plugin allows you to add ANY font to Wordpress theme. It is even SEO friendly since HTML tags remains intact.

    Hi,
    I don't know much about html codes and things, but I know that there is a free wp plugin called fontburner that allows you to change your fonts on your wordpress site. I have used it before and it's pretty neat!

    Good Luck,

    i think you can't change font like what you need,because that font is not default font in major browser.
