Bold font not working

Support
#1

Hello,

Since the last update, I have a problem with the bold font on my website.
The bold font has the same weight of the normal font.

For exemple, you can see on the following page that the questions (in bold) have the same weight of the answers § :

I tried everything to change that : change the font, add CSS line for b, bold, strong, etc. Nothing work.

Could you help me with that ?

Thanks !

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in! I could not see the issue mentioned on your post. I see that your bolder fonts having font weight of 700 and the other normal fonts having font weight 300.

Could you please explain which area that you’re referring to?

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.

After seing you screenshot, I noticed that I don’t see the same think.
I tried with Safari and I see the texts in Bold, like on your screenshot.

But with Chrome, the text in Bold and the text in normal look the same, event if it’s specified 300 and 700.

How can I fix that ? I don’t mind to change font if it’s necessary, but the Raleway font is a Google Font so I am not sure to find a better font for Google Chrome…

Thanks for your help,

Jules

Hi @Lisbonbylight,

Thank for the screenshot. Upon further investigation, I could see that font-weight is working however it is your font-color and font-family is not showing the boldness of the font. You could try adjusting both CSS so that you could show the boldness properly.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks.

Hello Nico,

Thanks for your answer. I tried every changes in the CSS but nothing is working.
In order to fix the problem, I decided to change the font.
Now, I can see the bold. But it is not the font I want.

I choose the Helvetica font in the settings, as you can see :

But, when I check the font in the CSS of my page, I have this :
body, input, button, select, textarea {font-family: inherit;}

Btw, I also tried to change the font color by adding line in the CSS but it is not working.
I want it black but it still grey.

How can I choose the font I want and the color ?

Thanks for your help,

Jules

Hi there,

Would you mind providing your admin login credentials in a secure note? There is no font applied to your site, have you applied it in Theme Options > Typography after adding your fonts through Theme Options > Fonts?

Thanks!

Hello,

I have a major problem with the theme.
I just noticed that is not just the bold font which is not working but all my custom CSS.

I am not really sure about when it stopped working but it was working before.

Could you help me with that ?

Thanks.

Hi Lisbonbylight,

I’ve checked the custom CSS section at (X > Theme Options) and I can tell it’s full of syntax errors, please use this tool to identify these errors and correct them, I recommend checking some CSS learning resources online as well, you can start with this one.

Thanks.

It’s because I was missing a } in the CSS.
