I am using Bootstraps glyphicons, including them like this:
<!-- Load Bootstrap CSS (Flatly) and Javascript -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://bootswatch.com/flatly/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/css/bootstrap-glyphicons.css" rel="stylesheet">
Before I loaded the glyphicons CSS file my fonts were fine. I did not set the font, instead using whatever Bootstrap or jQuery sets the font by default.
Now I have included that glyphicon CSS file, my fonts have changed. Can I utilize the glyphicons whilst ignoring the fonts?
As you can see here http://www.bootply.com/5Amv5odg7X you don't need to load the glyphicons separately, just be sure to load stock Bootstrap before flatly, and you're good to go.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://bootswatch.com/flatly/bootstrap.min.css">
Also, it's usually considered best practice load your .js files after all html content, so it doesn't impact page load.
You are using a custom version of Bootstrap css that already includes the icons and imports a custom Google font. Check the file you're linking to here:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://bootswatch.com/flatly/bootstrap.min.css">
This file contains all of the styles for the glyphicons embedded in it, so no need to separately add the link to the cdn for <link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/css/bootstrap-glyphicons.css" rel="stylesheet">.
As for you fonts "changing", the first line in this file imports the Lato font from Google and sets as the body font. If you don't want to use the custom font, download the flatly css file (instead of linking to the remote file) and remove the import statement at the top of the css file. Or, override the styles in your own css file. (Better to do the former, as it would be a waste to have your site visitors download the Google fonts, if you're not using them).

I am using Laravel 6 and want to change the structure of some of my routes in the web.php file. When registering the following route like this:
Route::view('/my-article', 'articles.my-article')->name('my-article');
everything works as it should.
But when changing the URL like this, adding /articles:
Route::view('/articles/my-article', 'articles.my-article')->name('my-article');
Suddenly no CSS is applied anymore. No Bootstrap, Fontawesome or own stylesheet. JS script on the other hand, and HTML of course, were loaded.
Oddly (for me): The other routes worked fine, all CSS stylesheets loaded.
I tried the same with another route that had a Controller action. I changed it from
Route::get('/{continent}', 'ContinentController#index')->name('continent');
to (adding /continents)
Route::get('/continents/{continent}', 'ContinentController#index')->name('continent');
And again, no styles were applied. Only JS scripts and HTML.
Why is that so? Why can't I add something to the URL by hand and why does it affect the loading of the CSS stylesheets?
Thanks and best regards.
EDIT:
Here is the part of my template.blade.php file where the styles are included:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-ggOyR0iXCbMQv3Xipma34MD+dH/1fQ784/j6cY/iJTQUOhcWr7x9JvoRxT2MZw1T" crossorigin="anonymous">

I'm using ruby on rails version 5.0.0, and I'm using c9.io. I'm not that sure how to use Google fonts and where I would put the embed font code:
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Delius" rel="stylesheet">
I know that I have to put font-family: 'Delius', cursive; in the css file, but if I do that without doing the previous, the only font it uses is Comic Sans.
I learned the answer but I'd still like to know which folder would you put it in?
You can import it wih CSS - Place this at the top of your css file:
#import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Delius');
I figured it out. You put <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Delius" rel="stylesheet"> in the application.html.erb file.
Kind of a newb question. I'm working with Boostrap to create a mobile responsive portfolio. What do you do if you want to make a change to the default Bootstrap classes? Like if I wanted to take the padding off of the class="container"? The links are only connected to the minified version of css and js. So if I make a change to the regular version .css, there's nothing connecting the change. Do I have to change the .min.css version? Should I be able to repeat a class in my own personal css page?(I've tried unsuccessfully) Thanks, any advice would help.
Two methods that I know of:
1) Make edits to the .min.css file, or
2) Add '!Important' to the your personal css, like so:
.testDiv{
font-color: white !Important
}
This will overwrite any classes that have set a font-color for .testDiv
*note: using !important is not a recommended technique, but it gets the job done
You can override the classes in your own CSS file (make sure you import it into your HTML after the original CSS files from bootstrap). Like,
<!-- Latest compiled and minified CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<!-- Optional theme -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css">
<!-- Custom Tweaks to theme (Add your changes to this file) -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/css/style.css">
<!-- Latest compiled and minified JavaScript -->
<script src="path/to/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
However, if you are going to make lots of modifications like that, I suggest you create your own customized version
Font awesome css placed in prototype/css/views/. Font files is in prototype/css/views/fonts folder. Also I have declared <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/views/font-awesome.min.css"/>. I have <i class="fa fa-arrow-right fa-4x"></i>.
I can access them by directly typing their url in Chrome. For some reason it is not loaded and [] is displayed. How to fix it?
UPDATE:
It starts to work when I replace <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/views/font-awesome.min.css"/>
with <link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.2.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
But I need css and font to be placed on my site...
You probably need the relative path from your CSS file to the font file (not from HTML to font). Also think you need to update the css file to have the correct path to the font file.
Try href="/prototype/css/views/font-awesome.min.css"
And in font-awesome.min.css edit the paths to fonts/FONT.EXT
How can I use font-awesome in css? I searched and see that I just need to download and copy font-awesome directory into my porject then display the icon by using content in css. But instead of displaying awesome icons, it displayed weird and undefinable characters. Does anyone know how to use/fix it properly?
add this in the head of your html page: <link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.0.3/css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet">
