Adding A font to the theme

how can I add a font to the theme so I can use my own fonts on my site?

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

You can add custom fonts to your website using CSS3 @font-face rule. To do this, please review this article.

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):

@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.
