I'm building a simple landing page here. I'm calling a custom font (Harbour) via #fontface but on Chrome, the title first defaults to a basic font. It takes a refresh for the custom font to appear. Anyone know what's happening here?
You are not declaring the font in any of your elements.
in your base.css; you are declaring those fonts at body:
font-family: 'Trash', Futura, 'IBM Plex Sans', Arial, sans-serif;
you should put:
font-family: 'Harbour';
in the element you want it to open
like:
h1 {
font-size: 2em;
margin: 0.67em 0;
font-family: 'Harbour';
}

I've added a custom font to my project using font-face along with font-family in this way:
#font-face {
font-family: "Caprice";
src: url("../fonts/Caprice.ttf") format("truetype");
}
html,
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-family: "Caprice", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
But the result is that the font, instead of being rendered as it should, it's being rendered in a very very "creepy way". Here's an image to let you better understand:
I've tried changing font but the result is neatly the same. I've also tried the page in different browsers without any success.
What am I doing wrong?
All the fonts I've tried are totally different from what I'm seeing displayed.
The option to toggle between sans-serif and serif using the font-setting button doesn't work when I change the fonts in style.CSS. Any suggestions?
This seems to happen when I change fonts for the main text, such as:
_output.yml
bookdown::gitbook:
css: style.css
style.CSS
p {
font-family: Arial;
}
But not all text changes. For example, if you change just the font for lists, the button still works fine.
style.CSS
li {
font-family: Arial;
}
The button itself seems to work fine, toggling between the class
.font-family-1 = sans-serif and .font-family-0 = serif
Currently, I think what you are observing is the expected behavior of the fontsetting gitbook plugin.
The button itself seems to work fine, toggling between the class .font-family-1 = sans-serif and .font-family-0 = serif
When you click on the button, the html root node of the book change class between .font-family-1 and .font-family-0
If you want to change the default font-family used for the book, you can customize css to override the default which is
.book.font-family-0 {
font-family: Georgia, serif;
}
.book.font-family-1 {
font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}
The button will change the class to the root not of class .book and apply the correct css to the all book.
I am trying to generate pdf files using a MadCap Flare project, but the PDF files come out with the wrong font. I am using the latest version of Flare, 2019r2.
I am trying to generate paragraphs using the Flexo fonts from Duotype. All the fonts are installed in the main Windows font directory: C:\Windows\Fonts\DUROTYPE_-_FLEXO-REGULAR_1.OTF. This was accomplished by right clicking on the font and choosing "Install for all users".
An example of the issue is the h2 style. The stylesheet has the following declarations in the default section:
body
{
padding: 0 20px;
}
...
body,
div,
li,
p
{
color: #3b4151;
font-family: FlexoRegular, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 1em;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0.5em 0;
mc-hyphenate: never;
orphans: 2;
widows: 2;
}
...
h2
{
color: #f8193f;
font-family: FlexoBoldIt, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 1.67em;
page-break-after: avoid;
}
The selector I actually want to use is under a #media section with the following declarations.
body
{
padding: 0;
position: relative;
margin: 0;
}
h2
{
color: #f8193f;
font-family: "Flexo-BoldIt", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 9pt;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin: 0px;
margin-top: 6px;
}
When I define the font-familiy as "font-family: "Flexo", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif;" I get output with the Flexo font. However, when I try "Flexo-BoldIt" or 'Flexo-BoldIt' or "Flexo Bold Italic" or various other combinations of quotes and font names I get output with Microsoft Sans Serif. When I try to override the style with an explicit declaration such as
<h2 style="text-align: center;font-family: "Flexo-BoldIt"...">
the output is again in MS Sans Serif.
Adding declarations like
font-style: italic;
font-weight: bold;
doesn't help.
Why doesn't Flare generate output with the correct font? Also, why doesn't it generate output with Arial, as that is installed? If I remove "Flexo-BoldIt" from the font-family I get output with Arial.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Have you added font-face in CSS
#font-face
{
font-family: 'YourFontFamilyName';
src: url(../path/to/font);
}
After that use font like
h1
{
font-family: 'YourFontFamilyName';
}
Also, keep your fonts in project files so you can access it with a relative path easily.
Try this out and give me feedback :)
UPDATE
This is more of a tip for every project similar to this one.
Do not use the system installed fonts because if the user doesn't have that font installed on their system it will be wrong. Always put font files in a project directory and access them like above.
Convert the font file into base64
#font-face {
font-family: 'myfont';
src: url(data:font/truetype;charset=utf-8;base64,<<copied base64 string>>) format('truetype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
Try this, from https://www.madcapsoftware.com/blog/madcap-flare-tip-use-custom-fonts-flare-outputs/:
The #font-face rule can have “font-family” defined as any name. However, I recommend using the default name seen in Flare. You can find out what name Flare is reading the font by going to the Home Ribbon and selecting the Font dropdown. The reason I recommend this is because if the font name is different than what appears in the dropdown, the PDF outputs will have to point to a different font name than your HTML5 outputs.
The name you show in the example looks like the name on the filesystem, not necessarily what the name appears as in the ribbon.
I have the following CSS declaration:
body {font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, "Trebuchet MS", "DejuVu Sans", "Bitstream Vera Sans", sans-serif;
It isn't loading on the page. I'm having to add:
<style>
body {font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, "Trebuchet MS", "DejuVu Sans", "Bitstream Vera Sans", sans-serif;}
</style>
To the HTML to get it to work...This is true in chrome and safari...this one is weird, thoughts?
Note that all other CSS is working correctly...
So, !important worked, I'm not sure why. One note, I took out the extra families, it looks like this now:
body, body * {
font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif !important;
}
But changing that had nothing to do with fixing it. The !important fixed it. Even though there isn't anything else changing the font-family at any other point in the CSS (refer to the working JS Fiddle). I attached a screenshot of the developer tools to show the inheritance.
have you tried to select following?
body, body * {
font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, "Trebuchet MS", "DejuVu Sans", "Bitstream Vera Sans", sans-serif;
} /* this affects every element in the body and the body itself */
/* OR just */
* {
font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, "Trebuchet MS", "DejuVu Sans", "Bitstream Vera Sans", sans-serif;
} /* this affects every element */
here is what you can do with CSS3:
http://www.css3.info/preview/web-fonts-with-font-face/
some font-families have to be enabled using `font-face, usually u do something like this
#font-face {
font-family: 'alex_brushregular';
src: url('alexbrush-regular-otf-webfont.eot');
src: url('alexbrush-regular-otf-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('alexbrush-regular-otf-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('alexbrush-regular-otf-webfont.ttf') format('truetype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
body {
font-family: 'alex_brushregular', Arial, "sans-serif";
}
This is an old post, but in case people have the same kind of problems and ended up here, I would suggest you make sure no errors in your css file (the easiest way to check is to comment out all settings except the font family or replace the css file with one that has just the font family setting). I just had the same problem and found the cause, after hours of frustration and no solutions from googling (that's why I came to this post; adding important! didn't work for me), was an error in my css file, so the browser skipped some settings including the font family. Although there're no errors in the css text shown in the original post, there might be one in the real css file.
Just try with the following example :
#font-face{font-family:'Arvo';src:url('fonts/Arvo-Regular.ttf')}
#font-face{font-family:'Erasmd';src:url('fonts/ERASMD.TTF')}
body { font-family: Arvo; }
(or)
body { font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif !important; }
I think this may help you to resolve your problem.
Something like this can also happen if your browser is using a cached version of your CSS file.
A "hard refresh" using CTRL+F5 might help in that case, as suggested e.g. here and here, and e.g. in the Firefox docs.
In my experience I had issues because there was only text within buttons on the page I was testing.
Setting the button font-family to inherit fixed the issue. I'm guessing this might extend to other elements also.
body {
font-family: <your family>;
}
button {
font-family:inherit;
}
It May be due the font you are using is not installed in your browser(even some 'websafe' fonts).Try using generic-font(like sans-serif,cursive,monospace) to see if the you style decalartion is working..
I need a solution.. I am using google fonts on my website, but it is not working in safari, how can I tell the browser to use a different style when the font is not working? Here is my css code:
#import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Pontano+Sans);
h2{
font-family: 'Pontano Sans', sans-serif;
font-size: 15px;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
I just want to have another css rule like this, but without it overriding the above rule:
h2{
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #666;
font-size: 12px;
}
you should use the web-fonts loader capabilities to handle scenarios where fonts are not loaded.
that way, you can specify different styles based on the load state (active / inactive / loading).
see the web-fonts loader reference on loading states (and on github).
