I'm trying to make the below code work to upload the font TrashHand to my website in Wordpress. I have edited out the website name but otherwise the code remains the same.
The code is contained in my style.css file and I know that Wordpress is reading the file because when I change the color line below, it changes the color of the text.
I also know that my url is correct because if I paste the url into my browser, the font downloads automatically.
I may be making a dumb mistake as I am a novice at css, but any help would be much appreciated.
#font-face {
font-family: TrashHand;
src: url(##websitename##.com/wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen-
child/fonts/TrashHand.ttf);
}
p {
font-family: TrashHand;
color: green;
}
h1 {
font-family: TrashHand;
}
change these lines
src: url(##websitename##.com/wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen-child/fonts/TrashHand.ttf);
}
to
src: url(/wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen-child/fonts/TrashHand.ttf);
}
No websitename is needed as the src is looking for an absolute URL
you should use .woff and .woff2 font format with .ttf
#font-face {
font-family: 'TrashHand';
url('##websitename##.com/wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen-child/fonts/TrashHand.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('##websitename##.com/wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen-child/fonts/TrashHand.woff') format('woff'),
url('##websitename##.com/wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen-child/fonts/TrashHand.ttf') format('truetype'),
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
you can generate woff and woff2 online using your .ttf file.

I downloaded a free font and have the .ttf file in a folder on my local server. However, I can't seem to be able to get the font to actually work. This is the code that I found online for applying an external font:
#font-face {
font-family: simplifica;
src: url(fonts/simplifica.ttf) format('truetype');
}
.header {
font-family: simplifica;
background-color: #f1f1f1;
padding: 30px;
text-align: center;
}
To clarify, I did change the file name because I read somewhere that capital letters can cause unexpected problems for browsers like IE. The original file name was "SIMPLIFICA Typeface.tff".
Also, I am using Brackets text editor and it's "live preview" function.
If you haven't other formats, try convert this font with https://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator
Try to Import other font formats like woff and eot and try this code
#font-face {
font-family: simplifica;
src: url(fonts/simplifica.eot?#iefix) format('embedded-opentype'),
url(fonts/simplifica.woff) format('woff'),
url(fonts/simplifica.ttf) format('truetype');
}
if the font folder is the same place as the css folder who contain the css file replace "fonts/" with "../fonts/"
I need to be able to use specific Telugu fonts on my website. I have the ttf file and I generated the .eot, .woff, .woff2 and .svg files required. I followed the instructions on the site below and created my stylesheet as shown below
#font-face {
font-family: 'sree_krushnadevarayaregular';
src: url('Sree Krushnadevaraya-webfont.eot');
src: url('Sree Krushnadevaraya-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('Sree Krushnadevaraya-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('Sree Krushnadevaraya-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('Sree Krushnadevaraya-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('Sree Krushnadevaraya-webfont.svg#sree_krushnadevarayaregular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
.badifont {
position: relative;
top: 1px;
display: inline-block;
font-family: 'sree_krushnadevarayaregular';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 1;
}
https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/using-font-face/
However, when I use the new class that I created, the text does not show up in the font that I am expecting. It is using the default Telugu Font that is available on my machine.
What am I missing?
I looked it up a little more and found this solution.
Go to Google Fonts and type in the name of your font. Most fonts I needed were already taken care of by Google. You can then copy the markup google provides and put it in your code.
So I had to do this
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Tenali+Ramakrishna|Sree+Krushnadevaraya&subset=telugu&effect=outline|3d-float' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
Then I setup my stylesheet with the name of the font in the font-family as 'Sree Krushnadevaraya' and it worked.
3 things to check: in all your font files, remove the space, or put an underscore instead of space for instance:
Sree_Krushnadevaraya-webfont.eot
Then adjust those file names in your code for #fontface.
Then open your svg file in a text editor. check what is on the id of your font--it is usually around line 6, <font id=...>
Make sure you are using that exact font id name here AFTER the hashtag (#):
url('Sree Krushnadevaraya-webfont.svg#sree_krushnadevarayaregular') format('svg');
Then make sure all your fonts and css is uploaded again.
#font-face {
font-family: iconFont;
src: local(iconFont), url('fonts/iconFont.ttf') format('opentype');
}
The font file is not corrupt and installs fine in OSX etc. letting me preview it. But it won't render anything when I try to use it on a web page or even if I select it in illustrator it just switches to another font if I touch any key.
The font is for 'regular' and I have tried other options, but it won't work. Have tried typing with caps on/off etc. Using numpad, nothing. Have re-installed it and made sure there are no duplicates. It also won't work in Windows. Not sure if I need to change my css somehow or the fault lays with the font.
Here's a link to the font for anyone wanting to try. It's a bunch of metro icons. http://www2.zippyshare.com/v/23494573/file.html
Not sure if this will help, but this is the CSS I use, and it works fine. The webfonts directory is in the same directory as the css file, and includes three file types: .eot .ttf .woff
#font-face {
font-family: 'AvenirLT-Book';
src: url('webfonts/25EE2B_0_0.eot');
src: url('webfonts/25EE2B_0_0.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('webfonts/25EE2B_0_0.woff') format('woff'), url('webfonts/25EE2B_0_0.ttf') format('truetype');
}
a typical class decleration:
.AvenirLT-Book {
font-family: AvenirLT-Book;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
perhaps you need to change the format to ('truetype') instead of ('opentype') ?
I have added a font to a site, added the CSS and uploaded the font files and it is working in IE but not in Firefox. Why is that?
CSS:
#font-face {
font-family: 'MyFont';
src: url('MyFont.eot');
src: url('MyFont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('MyFont.woff') format('woff'),
url('MyFont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('MyFont.svg#MyFontRegular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
label { font-family: 'MyFont'; font-size: 20px; }
The label was just a test, but it's working. The font files are in the same directory as the CSS.
I've tried almost everything, and its still not working....
Does anybody know what's wrong? Any help appreciated.
In order:
Check if the font is on Google Web Fonts. If it is, use that version, don't embed your self (for ease of use, caching, browser update compat. etc.)
If not, then check your MIMEs. To do this, use Firebug's Net panel to look at the headers and check they are correct.
If the MIME is wrong, then fix it using either .htaccess, or by writing a PHP file that uses file_get_contents() and header() to fix it.
I found out there was another CSS file, overwriting the one i made.
Problem solved
i understand its a bit rude to ask a question from scratch however i have done my research and tried a few examples with no sucess.
im trying to display a font from my local servers.
ex. DigitaldreamNarrow.ttf
which is located in :
css/fonts/DigitaldreamNarrow.ttf
i have tried placing it in my css file in the following manner:
#font-face {
font-family: DigitaldreamNarrow;
src: url(‘css/fonts/DigitaldreamNarrow.ttf’);
}
.top {
font-family: DigitaldreamNarrow;
font-size: 0.2%;
}
however at this point im lost and i dont see any results in my display.
help?
Deploying fonts via CSS is generally unsupported. Take a look at Cufon.
#font-face {
font-family: 'ArvoRegular';
src: url('Arvo-Regular-webfont.eot');
src: local('☺'), url('Arvo-Regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'), url('Arvo-Regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), url('Arvo-Regular-webfont.svg#webfontau9vOdrl') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
You're going to have different results from different browsers (not all browsers support/use 'eot' for example). Check out font squirrel, and download an #face kit. Very helpful resource. http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface
This is more than likely the direction fonts will take, and Cufon will likely become "Gif Builder"...IMO.
#trey, write this
#font-face {
font-family: 'DigitaldreamNarrow';
src: url(‘../css/fonts/DigitaldreamNarrow.ttf’);
}
may there is a problem with your url please it.
May be you have to add inverted comma to the font .
