How to change the font of a single word in a text?

Hi, 

How to change the font of a single word in a text as well as change it to italic? Something that is quite popular these days. 

Thanks

A good way can be to set the bold + Italic state of a heading or paragraph to a different font, so in the text editor when you make a word bold AND italic at the same time it changes the font. Something like this using the Heading 2 + BOLD + ITALIC:

h2 strong em {
  font-family:script;
}

Hi Ziggy, 
Would I put it in the Custom CSS? Also wouldn't that change all the h2 everywhere in the website? 
Is it possible to change just a single word or is it better to create a new text item and then modify it separately?

Thanks

Yes, in custom CSS.

As I said it will only change the font when you make H2 text bold and italic. 

Okay, but what if I don't want it bold?
And how to change just one word?

It won't be bold or italic, it will change the font to what you want, and you can also set the font weight and colour and any other property.

h2 strong em {
  font-family:script;
  font-weight:400;
}

Thanks Ziggy, 

Is it possible to change one word in a sentence, though? E.g. 

"This is a sentence." 

I would like to change the font for the word "sentence". 

Thanks

Of course you can do that, that's what I've given you.

Please try adding the code to Custom CSS.

h2 strong em {
  font-family:script;
  font-weight:400;
  font-style: initial;
}

Change the word script in the code to your font family.

Then make a heading that is set to Heading 2.

Make any word in that heading set to bold AND italic.
