Adding additional weights to Google Fonts in Pro templates

Hi, I am having issues adding additional weights to the template section in Pro. Apologies that this does seem to have been covered in this thread but there doesn’t seem to be a resolution:

Is there any update yet? All I need to do is add in a 300 weight for Montserrat. I have tried adding the import line into the child theme.

Hey there,

There’s no update yet. For now, you need to load the Montserrat font externally. Please see this guide.

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Just to clarify, after loading the fonts externally should they be available in the templates section or will I only be able to style fonts in the style.css in my child theme until this is resolved? Because they still aren’t showing in there after following the instructions.

Hi There,

Nope, if you add fonts/font-weight manually it does not mean it will be available on the font manager (template > fonts). But it will be available automatically on your site, you need to apply the CSS font-weight: 300; via inline-styling or custom CSS.

Hope this shed some lights,
Cheers!

Yes it does, thanks. Just so you know, the weights that are available don’t work in the typography section either. Maybe this is part of the same bug

Hi There,

Thank you for the feedback we will get our developers to take a look on it.

Cheers

I am having the same issue when using ‘Open Sans’, does this apply to all fonts?

Hi there,

Yes, it is. Please stay tuned from the upates :slight_smile:

Thanks!

Guys, any update on this issue? I need to add in 800 weight for Montserrat and it looks like its still not possible. I have even tried is the settings section and in the style.css to no avail.

For info - I managed to get this working by adding the font into the functions.php file. Might be helpful if anyone else is having this problem. I would still be interested when this bug is going to be sorted out though.

Thanks for sharing your solution and it is already on our issue tracker.

Thank you
