imported style variables and the basic theme

I have a custom theme based on the Basic theme.

I am assigning fonts using the $headline_font and $headline_weight variables, but these styles are not applying to the page.

Does the Basic theme use $headline_font and $headline_weight variables?

If not, is there a way to make a custom theme based on Basic do so? Or should I start with a different theme, like Revolution (which I know uses those variables) ?

Thanks!

No, out of the box the basic theme doesn't use those variables, but you can add whatever variables you want. You can view the entire contents of the basic stylesheet by opening theme.scss, then clicking the "Default" button right above the template editor. The second box down are all the styles for basic. Copy and paste part or the entire contents into theme.scss, and then add the variables where you want.
