Hey Arcolive,
Im not sure if your issue is the same that I was having with the 1.7 templates. My issue was that no matter which font i set in the template font dropdown selector, the site would not reflect these changes to font settings.
I was on a support ticket for a while about this, then check back to the forums, basically you have to specify the selectors.
So for the party freak template that I am using right now, i needed to add the following selectors.
body - font :
body
----------------
headers - font :
h1,
h2,
h3,
h4,
h5
----------------
other -fonts :
.contentheading,
div.itemHeader h2.itemTitle, div.itemListCategory h2, div.catItemHeader h3.catItemTitle, div.userItemHeader h3.userItemTitle, div.genericItemHeader h2.genericItemTitle, div.latestItemsCategory h2, div.latestItemHeader h3.latestItemTitle, div.latestItemHeader h2.latestItemTitle,
div.k2ItemsBlock ul li a.moduleItemTitle
---------------------
hope this helps.
