I don't want the render blocking of declaring a custom font using #font-face, so I've tried to copy how my google font CDN font is loaded for my custom server font, arriving at this:
<noscript id="deferred-styles">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="../BluuNext-master/Fonts/webfonts/bluunext-bold-webfont.woff2?family=bluuNext" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</noscript>
But it does not work.
I've tried changing href for src="../Bluu...
But that didn't work.
I've tried omitting the type, since woff2 isn't text/css.
It's important, I'm not willing to block my page load for a 35kb font file, and there's no CDN for BluuNext, so I need to find a performant way to make this work or I'll just be resigned to a beiger website.
RIGHT!
I've tried the answers below, possibly they work for other fonts but not BluuNext. Perhaps other fonts maybe come in configurations beyond bold, unlike BluuNext, so maybe that causes the issue.
It IS possible to load BluuNext font, but so far only with render blocking #font-face method, loading betwixt the tags.
Here's a minimum example including a few of the proposed solutions not working...
<!DOCTYPE html>

<script type="text/javascript">
// Load CSS
var loadDeferredStyles = function() {
var addStylesNode = document.getElementById("deferred-styles");
var replacement = document.createElement("div");
replacement.innerHTML = addStylesNode.textContent;
document.body.appendChild(replacement)
addStylesNode.parentElement.removeChild(addStylesNode);
};
var raf = window.requestAnimationFrame || window.mozRequestAnimationFrame ||
window.webkitRequestAnimationFrame || window.msRequestAnimationFrame;
if (raf) raf(function() { window.setTimeout(loadDeferredStyles, 0); });
else window.addEventListener('load', loadDeferredStyles);
</script>
<style>
h2{font-family: bluuNext; font-size: 3em;}
</style>
</head><body>
<h2>Is this Bluu Next?</h2>
</body>
</html>
You can see some fancy javascript governing the loading of id="deferred-styles", that came at the suggestion of Google lighthouse and works well for Google's CDN fonts, not working for BluuNext so far.
Here's the link to download BluuNext, a lovely gothic, serif font. CLICK THE DOWNLOAD ARROW TOP RIGHT.
I'd love some ideas. I'd love to use this particular font, which is for some reason seemingly resistant to existing solutions.
You can not load a font directly in HTML, you need help of CSS for this. And if you open the google font link you will be able to see how it's done.
https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500
This url is a css file not a font file.
Open it and you will understand how google used #font-face to load the font.
Here is the documentation from mdn:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/#font-face
The modern approach to async-style <link rel="stylesheet" /> elements is to use media="print" with onload="this.media='all'".
The media="print" attribute means browsers should still download the stylesheet, but won't block the page's loading.
The onload="this.media='all'" event-handler causes the stylesheet to become enabled when and if it does load.
Because browsers might still not download print stylesheets at all, you should also add an explicit <link rel="preload" /> version (for the same stylesheet) as a strong hint that the browser should download it anyway.
However this still depends on browsers having JavaScript enabled in order for the onload="" handler to work.
...hence the need for the duplication of code in a <noscript> wrapper element.
Also, you really should be using root-relative (i.e. "/foo"-style) URIs in your <link href="" attributes, otherwise they wont' work if the user isn't accessing a page in your site's root.
I assume your BluuNext-master directory is located in your site's root.
So change your HTML to this:
<head>
<!-- onload+media trick to defer loading these stylesheets: -->
<link rel="preload" as="style" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500" />
<link rel="preload" as="style" href="/BluuNext-master/Fonts/webfonts/bluunext-bold-webfont.woff2?family=bluuNext" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" onload="this.media='all'" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" onload="this.media='all'" href="/BluuNext-master/Fonts/webfonts/bluunext-bold-webfont.woff2?family=bluuNext" type="text/css" />
<!-- But if Javascript is used the <noscript> will ensure the browser will load it: -->
<noscript>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/BluuNext-master/Fonts/webfonts/bluunext-bold-webfont.woff2?family=bluuNext" type="text/css" />
</noscript>
</head>
I do think it's silly that we need to basically repeat ourselves three times as a workaround for something that should just be a part of HTML already.
Here is the link of my website:
https://foysalmeazi.github.io/foysalportfolio/
when I visit the website it show only html but css is not showing.
It missing bootstrap on your web, in html code:
instead of
<link rel="stylesheet" href="Css/bootstrap.min.css">
change to:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="CSS/bootstrap.min.css">
Folder on path is case sensitive.
I'm facing a problem when our application is deployed in IIS. The styles are not applying to the content page but everything was working fine when I was running it through VS 2010.
This is what I have given in the master page.
<link href="Styles/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
The above code which I have specified will apply only for the Home page which is in the root directory but when I navigate to so other module styles are not applying to those page which are inside other folder.
I searched in Google and I tried many options like
<link href="./Styles/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="../Styles/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="~/Styles/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<style type="text/css">
#import 'Styles/style.css'; </style>
None of the above things are working even for home page also which used to work before. Please let me know some suggestions so I can proceed further.
<head runat="server">
<link href="~/Styles/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
it will work and load your css on every page
try with adding the root/domain in a dynamic way before the styles folder in ur code.
I have written a new website template. All works fine but there is one problem:
IE8 and lower don't load my stylesheet. I have no idea why.
I have tried it on multiple computers to eliminate the possibility of cache-problems or something like that.
The stylesheet is written with SASS (http://sass-lang.com/). But I think, this isn't the problem because I've made some other websites with SASS and everything works fine.
//EDIT:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="de">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>***</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/styles/screen.css" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
You are using <section> elements that are new and IE8 doesn't know about by default. And because it doesn't know about them they are treated sort of like a span except you can't style them either using CSS.
The trick is to create the element before the page is is loaded and the browser can style them. The easiest way is to use something like html5shim. Just make sure to add the following code to your head section as it needs to run before the HTML starts rendering:
<!--[if IE]>
<script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
Some problem in your path I guess..
Possibility 1 :
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/screen.css" media="screen" />
Possibility 2 :
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../styles/screen.css" media="screen" />
I'm building a basic site and thought of using the flatpages app for a couple of pages. Problem is, I'm not sure how to serve static files in my flatpages.
The link in my flatpage template is this:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="static/base.css" />
However, firebug shows that file is being looked at:
localhost:8000/example_flatpage/static/base.css
instead of
localhost:8000/static/base.css
Infact, every link in the template works this way.
Instead of
localhost:8000/home/
localhost:8000/example_flatpage/home/
Here's my default flatpage template:
<html><head>
<title>title</title>
<link type="image/x-icon" rel="icon" href="static/favicon.ico" />
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="static/base.css" />
</head>
<body>
mainly plain text
</body>
</html>
Any ideas??
Use "/static/base.css" instead of "static/base.css". The first one is a path relative to root '/', while the second form is a path relative to the current page.
