Google font weights missing in Pro templates section

Support
#1

Hi,

I was just setting up a site in Pro and noticed that not all font weights are available in the templates section.

For instance, Montserrat only has 400 regular and 700 bold available when there are 18 different weight to choose from on Google. Even if you ignore the italic options, there are still 9 different weights.

Is this a bug or have the weight options been restricted?

Just as an addition to this, I just tried changing my body font to ‘Lato’ which has a larger range of weights, and yet even when trying to make changes in the content, it is not accepting different font-weights that have been chosen in the templates section. Bit of a weird one as I’m working on another site which uses Lato and could easily change the font-weight with css to 100 or 400 etc.

Thanks.

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

I think it’s known issue in which our developers are already working on it, you may check this another thread too https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/font-weights-dont-seem-to-load-import/2604/13

I also forwarded this thread of yours so our developer may able to check it too, and please provide your site’s URL and admin login credentials in a secure note, and if possible, the FTP login credentials too.

Thanks!

Hi,

My site is currently hidden for development purposes.

Having done a little more poking around, I can only think it is a bug. I can’t even add the other weights via CSS in the child theme.

It appears that if you use the ‘customiser’ usually associated with X (not Pro) you can specify fonts in there and see all the available weights. However, these are not all visible within the ‘typography’ or ‘templates’ section of Pro. If I specify the fonts in X’s customiser, they can come through into the font dropdown list in ‘Typography’ as a weird series of letters/numbers rather than ‘light, 100’ for instance.

I can get a few fonts to work this way, Lato works ok, but I cannot get the full family of weight for Montserrat no matter what I do.

Looks like a bug to me guys, hope you can get it sorted.

Thanks.

Hi There,

This has already been reported as bug, for now add the line of code below on top of your child theme’s style.css file to load all the Montserrat weight.

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:100,100i,200,200i,300,300i,400,400i,500,500i,600,600i,700,700i,800,800i,900,900i');

Thank you,

As mentioned, I have already tried this, both in the child theme ‘style.css’ and in the global css within ‘Theme options’ and it does not work, it will still only change between the two weights that are specified within the templates section. 100, 200 etc all are all the 300 weight, and everything above 500 looks the same, and no italics work at all which suggest the code is having no effect at all - only the weights specified within the templates section will work.

Thanks.

Hi There,

In that case, please provide us wp-login and FTP credentials in Secure Note so we can take a closer look.

Thanks,

I am having this issue, is there a solution yet?

I’m sorry, no it hasn’t. We need to update the data stored in Pro and Cornerstone to match up with what’s been added to Google since the font manager was added. Regretfully I can’t give an ETA for this right now.
