Thanks for the replies. I understand that one doesn't have to upload google fonts -- I've linked it exactly as you have described above :)
Upon inspection of the stage source html the correct css is there, the google font is linked and and right class is being applied in the markup. I wondered if the font didn't work because it couldn't import external files -- now I'm thinking it might be because the css is loaded before the font is.
Is there any way to change the order in which the head wrapper and the custom css is applied?
Hmm no. The load order for css files is the core Base Skin > Your Custom Skin > any css files added in the assets folder, then any css files linked in the head content.
Silly question, but is the custom skin where the font link/css live being applied to the community? Be sure to check via the admin > display > skins and see if the right skin has been set.
I see Paolo asked eariler if you were sourcing fonts over HTTP on a SSL page? Is this the case? Otherwise if what your syntax everywhere else is correct, the fonts should load.
Yup, the right custom skin is set. The fonts are sourced from https://www.google.com/fonts, and I've followed the quick-use instructions; i.e.,
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
was placed in the header wrapper and embeds the following
@font-face {
font-family: 'Bitter';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 700;
src: local('Bitter-Bold'), url(http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/bitter/v5/evC1haE-MsorTl_A7_uSGbO3LdcAZYWl9Si6vvxL-qU.woff) format('woff');
}and
.bitter { font-family: ‘Bitter’, Arial, serif; }was placed in the active skin's custom css. The class was triggered in the markup like so:
<h1 class="bitter">And hopefully custom fonts work too.</h1>
I've also tried loading the font manually in the custom css only, so it doesn't seem to be a loading order problem. Any thoughts?
Hi Inactive User
tried it out, this should work:
@font-face {
font-family: 'Bitter';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 700;
src: url('http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/bitter/v5/evC1haE-MsorTl_A7_uSGbO3LdcAZYWl9Si6vvxL-qU.woff') format('woff');
}
.bitter { font-family: 'Bitter', Arial, serif; }
believe it's missing the quote for the url (+ .bitter font-family quote ' doesn't seem correct - had to re-type the ' to fix)
