Hi Kieron,
It's better to set fonts from Template Options > Typography then from JCE editor.
It doesn't make sense to set it manually each time in text, easy to create only big mess after all.
About JCE - sorry, but we are not support of that extension. Ask its developer.
Kieron Asked this
Thank you for the speedy answer Paul.
I understand what you say but sometimes clients use JCE!
My issue is that when I go to Typography to select a site font all I see are Google Fonts .... I cannot set the site font to Areil ot Verdana ?
When I furn off Google fonts for Body, where does the font displayed on the site selected from ? I dont want to use strange Google fonts.
Kieron Asked this
When I install Helix Ultimate template I see normal (Ariel, Verdana etc) fonts in Typography as well as Google Fonts but only Google fonts in the Shaper_Spectrum template.

Indeed in some old templates maybe indeed there was no classic fonts,
but you can set them using Custom CSS in 60 sec. Very easy !
For example
body { font-family: Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; }
This same you can do for H1, h2.... etc.

Yes. It's taken from Bootstrap.min.css file and default fonts from it are:
font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
and in this order are loaded if found in system. Arial is 3rd. For example on my Windows 2nd font - Helvetica is loaded as 1st.
