Markdown doesn't contain font information. So at the level of Markdown there's
nothing to change.
Markdown contains structural information. For instance, a paragraph is a
paragraph no matter what font your present it with. Things like colors,
margins, backgrounds, and fonts are presentational, not structural.
Once your Markdown document has been rendered as HTML, then fonts can be
applied. To specify a font for all or part of an HTML document, use CSS. Here's
an example of a brief HTML document with embedded 'style' element (style
elements use CSS syntax):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head lang="en">
<title>Sample document</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>
body {
margin: 2em auto;
width: 90%;
max-width: 30em;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
p {
color: red;
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Sample Pages for Fun and Profit</h1>
<p>This paragraph is red and in a different
font! Woo-hoo!
</body>
</html>
The entire Markdown document for creating the above would contain only the
following:
# Sample Pages for Fun and Profit
This paragraph is red and in a different
font! Woo-hoo!
So, as shown above, font info just ain't there in a Markdown doc. The
additional info to create a complete HTML document comes from outside the
Markdown doc itself.
To set up individual elements for special styling, you can specify ID or class
names if you're using a Markdown variant that supports it, and then supply
rules for those elements in the CSS.
I'm guessing that for your purposes, the most productive next step is to search
for "css tutorial".
