Please help with css code to change the type of font, color and weight
Thanks for the help.
I did this but it does not change the color:
.category-list tbody
.category h3 {
font-weight: 370;
font-size: 18;
line-height: 1.9;
color: teal;
font-family: Calibre-Regular, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

This really depends of what type of category page you chose, for example for categories with topics the code will be something like this:
```css
.category-list.with-topics .category-name {
font-size: 25px;
font-weight: normal;
color: gray;
}
```
You need to use the browser’s inspector to find to CSS class (and parent) that you want to use, see
The parent serves to indicate that you want to change the appearance of the category name only on this page and not globally.
To change the font type see [Change the default font on your site](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-change-default-font-of-your-site/21282/2)
The next time before posting use the search function on the top right and you will surely find the answers you are looking for.
This one instead, [CSS Tutorial](https://www.w3schools.com/css/), is a good place to start learning a bit of CSS.

Thanks for the reply.
But the code you gave is not doing the change. The one I gave is doing the changes but not changing the color.
Where am I going wrong?

Try with
```css
.category-list .category-name {
font-weight: 370;
font-size: 18px;
line-height: 1.9;
color: teal;
font-family: Calibre-Regular, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}
```

The code by you changed fonts of name of sub-categories on the main categories page.
This worked:
```
.category-list tbody
.category h3 {
font-weight: 375;
font-size: 17px;
line-height: 21px;
font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
.category-list tbody .category h3 a[href] {
color: black;
}
```
Thanks a lot for your help. I learnt new things
