Thank you but that doesn't seem to do anything? Ideally I'd like the drop down menu for weights to include options other than 400...but if done manually then I am currently looking to change the weight of the Quicksand body font as well as the 'Soledad Latest Posts' widget, where I use Quicksand as the header.
I want to use Quicksand for the default body font for all the site's posts/pages - but at a greater weight than 400 - it only gives me one weight option though.
On my main page I'm using your widget called 'Soledad Latest Posts' - it lets me select Quicksand to use as the title font for posts but not the weight (which again needs to be more than 400).
I just checked your site and I see it already works. If you don't see it change with some other font weights - that mean the font doesn't support that font-weight.
Example in your case - when I go to Quicksand font on google fonts - I see this font support font weights: 300, 400, 500, 600 and 700 - check this image: http://prntscr.com/uokv6x
There is no support for font weight 900 - so if you change between 700 or 800 or 900 - it doesn't change.
I managed to get it to work by uploading a new font. All I need to know now is how to change the colour of the main body font text and how to increase the space in between the post titles lines of the latest posts widget on my front page.
1/ To change color for main body text, please try add more this code to Customize > Custom CSS:
body{ color: #899dff; }
Change color code 899dff to any color code as you want. You can get a color code here
2/ You see the line-height of the titles on latest posts small because you've using page template default. I just changed it to page template "Page VC Builder No Sidebar" and everything is fine now - check this image
Hello, I would like to use the font Quicksand but it only gives me a choice of one weight (400). Can you tell me how to add other weights please?
Hi,
You can add more this code to Customize > Custom CSS to change it:
.penci-latest-posts-sc .entry-title{ font-weight: 600 !important; }Change value 600 to font weight value as you want. ( E.g: 100, 200, 300... to 900 )

Hi,
So, can you tell me exactly where do you want to change the font weight?
If you want to change font weight for menu items, you can change it via Customize > Logo and Header Options > Font Weight for Menu Items.

Hi,
1/ You can add more this code to Customize > Custom CSS to change font weight for body text:
body, textarea, #respond textarea, .widget input[type="text"], .widget input[type="email"], .widget input[type="date"], .widget input[type="number"], .wpcf7 textarea, .mc4wp-form input, #respond input, .wpcf7 input, #searchform input.search-input, ul.homepage-featured-boxes .penci-fea-in h4, .widget.widget_categories ul li span.category-item-count, .about-widget .about-me-heading, .widget ul.side-newsfeed li .side-item .side-item-text .side-item-meta{ font-weight: 600; }2/ I've sent you a code before to change font weight for that title:
.penci-latest-posts-sc .entry-title{ font-weight: 600 !important; }I just checked your site and I see it already works. If you don't see it change with some other font weights - that mean the font doesn't support that font-weight.
