Global font-weight option is not applied

[Regnalf]

I would like to use a custom font in Cornerstone that I have integrated using the font manager. However, the desired font weights should also be used.

In the global options for the body font, I have set the desired weight to 300:

However, the font weight remains fixed at 400!

Only if I manually set it to 300 in the Chrome developer tool, for example, can you see the difference and the correct result.

The only thing I have noticed is that the weights are split into ‘Managed’ and ‘Exact’, is there a difference?

But why doesn’t the global option work?

Hello @Regnalf,

Thank you for the inquiry.

Looks like you’re testing it on a Headline or a heading element. Did you also apply the same font weight to the Headings? Please create a test page and provide the login details in the secure note so we can check the issue further.

Best regards,

No, the text in the screenshot is a normal p element, on a normal WordPress page that was not created with Cornerstone. The headling h6 has slipped into the screenshot.

Unfortunately, I cannot provide access to the original site, as the site is still under development and is limited to my IP address, but I have no control over this and it would take weeks before I could register an IP.

But I have found a crucial clue to narrow down the problem. When I wanted to prepare it for you on one of my test pages, I noticed that it works with the ‘Renew’ stack, but not with the ‘Starter’ pack. So for some reason the font weights for the body are not applied, but for the headings it works in both packs.

Maybe you try it again with the ‘Starter’ pack, if you can’t reproduce it then, I will set up access at least to my test server.
