So, I know how to make groups and stuff. But that's not really what I'm here for. I'm here to say, that there is a font that doesn't work. Go to: Appearance > Colors, Textures & Fonts.
Then we look below Fonts section, and we go to Titles Font. I liked the font Trajan Pro, so I wanted it. But as far as I know, Trajan Pro font doesn't work. And I was thinking Kim if you could take a look into this, or maybe there is an answer to this that I don't know about.

Trajan Pro is not a Google font - it's one of those fonts that, if you don't have it installed on your computer, it doesn't work and the next listed font will be picked. I don't have it on my computer myself so I don't see it either. The font family tree for a Trajan Pro choice in groups is as follows:
"Trajan Pro", "Charlemagne Std",Copperplate,Optima,"Arial Narrow", Arial, sans-serif
Your browser will go down this list until it finds a font on your computer that matches, ultimately falling on the backup serif fonts ('well we'll just use a serif font then cause you got nothing else!').
I can't find the Trajan Pro font anywhere for download (I did find Trajan Pro Regular, but the name doesn't match so it doesn't end up working) so I'm not sure where it comes from. It might come default in an OS installation.
To Kim, I found a Google Font version that very closely matches Trajan Pro. Maybe we can switch it over? I don't know the hows or whys but this might make the font more available.

Thanks SanneSmee for your answer, helped out a lot.
Trajan Pro is largely in there for backwards compatibility, from before we used Google Fonts so heavily. Sanne's assessment that it will only work for those who already have it is correct. I would dis-recommend making use of it in any new groups.

Thank you both, for the information you have given me on this font. In fact, I might be making suggestions. And as a user, and a web developer, some of my suggestions may come of use.
I welcome suggestions from everyone.
