I created a custom Sky theme, but when I loaded it I lost some of the appearance customization options: fonts, heading styles and rounded fonts. I'm particularly concerned about being able to customize fonts. I'm new at theme customization so it could be something I did wrong there. Thanks for any assistance.

Well, I guess you did something that didn't really work out and now its not working...

Look, I'm gonna take it easy on you since you are new, and may well be new to web development also. BTW, welcome to Drupal.

You have to give me a LOT more information than "it did something and now its not working".

Secondly, without this information I cannot, and will not, do anything. Here's the reason, most of us, the Drupal developers, are very, very, very busy people. So take a tip from an old pro - don't post in an issue queue until you have gathered all the data you think the developer can make use of, and then provide it all, including links to your site, screenshots, precise details of what you did, why you did it, what is going wrong, error messages etc etc.

Just to get one of us to even look at your issue is an achievement, don't squander it by thinking we are going to hand hold you through your issue until its fixed - that just ain't gonna happen. This is open source, no one gets paid, I'm here on my own free time, don't think I am going to waste it - because believe me, you guys come and go like the wind, and seldom do anything in return. That's just a reality, and I am a realist.

Here's what I did in detail: I created a sub-theme of Sky by copying the entire directory and renaming it "Skyline." I went into sky.info and renamed the file and changed the name and description. I created a new entry under stylesheets called local.css and created a matching file in the css folder. I went into template.php and updated all of the functions with the sub-theme name "Skyline." Then I uploaded my new theme into Drupal 7. As I said before, the theme is functional but I lost some of the settings that customize appearance: fonts, heading styles, and rounded fonts.

Any help is appreciated. Not asking for hand holding, just advice for a newbie.

You missed one file, theme-settings.php, there is a function in there also that needs to be renamed:

function sky_form_system_theme_settings_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {...}

This is the function that supplies all those custom theme settings ;)
