Change Font

1. Does anyone know what a similar font to Candara is that is available in Weebly?

2. Can you upload a custom font?

3. If so, can you provide instructions? A client wants Candara on every piece of text on a website. 

Thanks!

@DrMarsha Don't you love it when a client wants to use a proprietary (Microsoft, no less) font as though it were part of their own brand? For simplicity of implementation, @Adam's suggestion to use a Google font is the quickest and easiest way to go (the instructions in his link may be out of date; take a look at this post for how to implement a Google font). The trick of course is finding a Google font close enough to Candara to satisfy the client. Of course, you can spend the time ploughing through the Google font library (confine yourself to sans serif fonts) but, to my eye, you'll get reasonably close with Merriweather Sans at the 300 weight. Candara has subtle curvatures and non-uniform weight on each letter that makes it a bit of a challenge when seeking an alternative. On first glance, Merriweather is pretty close but you'll notice little things like Candara's more stylized ear on the "g" and the more expressive comma. Merriweather's uniform strike weight across each entire letter is a bit of a giveaway and the letter height is a smidge taller than Candara. But, again, pretty close:

Thanks for your post, @DrMarsha.

It is possible to add a Google font to your site with the instructions that I linked. I'm not sure if that particular font is available as a Google font, but you could use a similar one if not. Looking forward to seeing suggestions of similar fonts from anyone, just in case.
