So I'm trying to make a button with a different font than the standard one. I've changed the color but I can't find a way to change the actual font or background.

You can do this with CSS:

However, button is a DOM element, it may have problems with scrolling, scaling, z-order etc. It's better and easier to make a button using a sprite.
