+To use a different font you may also need to import it with a line beginning `@import` at the beginning of your custom `.css` file.
+The following contents of the same CSS file will make the resulting document use the [Comic Neue](http://comicneue.com/) font, for example:
+
+```css
+/* font location goes here:*/
+@import 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Comic+Neue';
+
+body {
+  font-family: "Comic Neue";
+}
+```
+
 Note that this overriding mechanism also works for other output formats in **pagedown**.
