Can someone please help me. I do not have any HTML or CSS experience. I do know that there is a CSS file called style.css in every theme. I am assuming that if I change the font here, the site will pick up the format.

Below is the section that I changed. I added Times New Roman and uploaded the CSS file to the theme folder. Chameleon is the theme. Why is the change not reflected?

Thanks in advance.

body {
padding: 0;
background-image: url(background.png);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
font-family: Times New Roman, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
border-top: 10px solid gray;
}

there could be several reasons:
so
-check if you are using the right css file and
-check if font-family is overriden somewhere else in the css file.

and i think it would be better to put Times New Roman in quotes, but i don't think this is causing your problem:

body {
padding: 0;
background-image: url(background.png);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
font-family: 'Times New Roman', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
border-top: 10px solid gray;
}

a nice firefox toolbar to check out when you change stuff in CSS and to be sure you're changing in th egood CSS is the web developer toolbar you can find it on the Mozilla site https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/60/

With that tool you can change css stuff in your browser and easely find everything especially if you have a lot of different modules that often have their own css

good luck

Also I cannot recommend Firebug highly enough:
http://getfirebug.com/
A great tool for debugging and examining HTML & CSS.
