Hi there,

Here goes the step by step guide to add custom webfont to your site.

You can add custom fonts to your website using CSS3 @font-face rule. To do this, please review this article: http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/using-font-face/

Basically you need to add the following code in your child theme’s style.css file (if you haven’t installed a child theme, please visit this to install Child Theme):

@font-face {
  font-family: 'MyWebFont';
  src: url('path-to-your-font-directory/font_name.eot');
  src: url('path-to-your-font-directory/font_name.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
       url('path-to-your-font-directory/font_name.woff') format('woff'),
       url('path-to-your-font-directory/font_name.ttf')  format('truetype'),
       url('path-to-your-font-directory/font_name.svg#svgFontName') format('svg');
}

Replace MyWebFont with the name of your font, path-to-your-font-directory with your fonts directory URL (e.g, http://yourwebsite.com/fonts) and font_name with your font’s name.

Next, whenever you need to use this font, simply use “MyWebFont” (or your custom font name), e.g:

body {
   font-family: 'MyWebFont', sans-serif;
}

Hope this helps. 🙂

Thank you.

Hi There,

It still not working, I have uploaded my font, and set the css file.
However, How can i change all the text to this font family?

Thanks

Hi there,

Setting the font-family for the body should apply for all element. Can you share your final code that you are using? And the CSS?

Thanks!

Hi there,

The way you implement the font is correct but it’s incomplete. Please follow our previous replay https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/how-to-change-the-font-to-gothic/#post-1255837
or this thread : https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/merriweather-google-font-problem/#post-219525

Hope it helps.
