ThemeOptions is one of our themes' great features. It allows you to customize theme typography and styles from backend with intuitive configurabled options such as: choose default preset style, customize the background, logo and slogan, customize the typography( font family with google fonts, font color, font size, etc.), customize the site layout and grid block layout, customize CSS code.
This article introduces theme's configuration options - what it is? available values? what is it for? From backend, navigate to Ma2 → Theme Options (or navigate to System → Configuration → Theme Options) to open theme options page. There are sections which allow you to configure or customize some options of theme.

In this section, you can custom theme typography such as: font-family with google fonts, text color, font-size and line-height.
Font family options include common web safe fonts (Serif, Sans-Serif and Monospace) and Google webfonts. All font-family select options have font preview feature so you can see how these font looked.

2.1. Body typography
2.2. Custom font-family for elements via css selector
If you are going to apply the custom font-family for some html tags or for some HTML elements which you knew its' CSS selector (class, id), we provided two text-area inputs for you. You can type your CSS selectors in, then select the appropriate font-family.
Someone may want more than 2 lists for more than 2 custom fonts BUT we are noticed that loading too many fonts will slow down the site loading speed.
