In this thread You provided recommendations for custom fonts on a site we are building. It got put on hold for a while and now back on it.

I put the code in place and it appears to be working, however, there are some issues where it is not working.

Navigation (header menu, fixed left side)
Sidebar – Recent Posts (the individual article links)
Footer – Recent Posts (individual article links)
Footer – Twitter feed (individual tweets) This is the Jetpack plugin for the Twitter feed.
Author navigation – (About and Latest posts) This is the Starbox plugin.

I find it odd that in the sidebar the “Archive” and “Categories” is working properly, but the Recent Post entries are not.

What do I have to do to correct this issue?

Hi Jeff,

Please try to add this code in the customizer:

* {
    font-family: 'ITC Eras W01 Demi' !important;
}

Hope this helps.

Well that worked for the menu text and the recent post text. It didn’t work for the Twitter feed.

Lastly, now it removed the following:

• magnifying glass for the search in the menu,
• menu bars for mobile devices/small screens,
• to the top arrow at the bottom of the site,and
• the house and arrow in the breadcrumbs.

So with all of the issues I took out Jade’s code.

When I did that, I noticed the blog description under the blog title wasn’t using the font script. Note: I figured out what the element was and fixed it with the CSS.

Note 2: Using Firebug and some trial and error, I’ve figured out and seemed to have fixed the font script for the various classes. However, there needs to be a much easier way of doing custom fonts using font scripts.

Hi There,

You can use this CSS with specific selector instead.

.x-navbar .x-nav-wrap .x-nav > li > a,
.x-breadcrumb-wrap,
.widget.widget_recent_entries li a,
.abh_tabs li a {
    font-family: 'ITC Eras W01 Medium', sans-serif !important;
}

Unfortunately, you can not edit the font in the twitter feed, because that is not on your domain (iFrame).

Hope it helps, Cheers!
