I searched the web and look for ways to add an external fonts to the web or CSS. I know we should use #font-face to do that. But, my website doesn't load the font when I reload. Can someone see the problems for me?
This is my codes:
<style>
#font-face {
font-family: 'vcr_osd_monoregular';
src: url('vcr_osd_mono-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('vcr_osd_mono-webfont.woff') format('woff');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
h1 {
font-size: 90px;
font-family: "vcr_osd_monoregular", sans-serif;
color: yellow;
}
</style>```
Instead of printing out vcr_osd_monoregular font, it prints out sans-serif. Please help.

I'm trying to download as png the sound icon from this url.
I inspected the CSS and it shows that
.lienson:after {
font-family: "fontello";
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
display: inline;
content: '\e82c';
color: #ff4b54;
text-decoration:none;
cursor:pointer; /*gestion v.audio*/
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'fontello';
src: url('./../fonts/fontello.eot?58255341');
src: url('./../fonts/fontello.eot?58255341#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('./../fonts/fontello.woff?58255341') format('woff'),
url('./../fonts/fontello.ttf?58255341') format('truetype'),
url('./../fonts/fontello.svg?58255341#fontello') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
.fontello {
font-family: "fontello";
}
I guess the link to download is ./../fonts/fontello.svg?58255341#fontello but could not figure out what is the full link?
Could you please elaborate on how to get this icon?
It's not a png, it's a webfont.
So, either you odwnload it directly from the url, which i wouldn't recommend because it would potentially raise copyright issues. FYI in this case the font url is relative to the css file url.
Or you make a screenshot of the element, which raise similar issues oif you use it.
Or you search for that font online, which could be a fail, since fontello is a font building tool, and the font you're searching for could simply not exist in the public domain.
I'm trying to import fonts with Google Fonts with #import and #font-face, in my CSS. I used to only use #font-face with downloaded fonts, but since it takes time to load, I preferred to use the Google Fonts method.
I didn't wanted the "bold" version of Roboto as the "bold" font in my website, so I used #font-face. However, I'm not sure of the way to use it. Is this correct to use #import and #font-face like this?
#import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,400i,500,500i');
#font-face
{
font-family: Roboto;
src: url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400");
}
#font-face
{
font-family: Roboto;
font-weight: bold;
src: url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:500");
}
#font-face
{
font-family: Roboto;
font-style: italic;
src: url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400i");
}
#font-face
{
font-family: Roboto;
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
src: url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:500i");
}
I've the feeling I'm importing the fonts twice... but it doesn't even work! (The page displays the default browser font)
Thank you for reading and taking time to help me.
you can use like this in your stylesheet
#import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,400i,500,500i');
h2{
font-family:Roboto;
}
#font-face make sense when you loading font from files on your server. If you importing from google, use only import and write right properties to elements you want.
#import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,400i,500,500i');
h2 {
font-family:Roboto;
font-weight: 500;
}
I have a web page that successfully uses one of the two font-faces I have here. I want the user to be able to see a top menu div tag that is styled with the Cubano font while the rest of the text of the page will be open sans. #font-face seems to be just unique so I cant add two font-familys to it.
EDIT: Demo can be seen here on the rate1.html page.
#font-face {
font-family: 'OpenSans';
src: url("fonts/opensans.ttf") format('truetype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'Cubano';
src: url("fonts/cubano-webfont.ttf") format('truetype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal
}
body {
font: 32px/40px 'OpenSans', sans-serif;
color: #777;
}
body div.recent {
font: 32px/40px 'Cubano', sans-serif;
color: #777999;
}
For the Open Sans you can use #import (in .css file):
#import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans);
or link it in the <head> :
<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

I wanted to have a page of mine the same textual style as this beautiful text, Dan Wahiln's AngularJS tutorial
So in Chrome Dev Tools: I can see the following:
font-size: 12pt;
line-height: 1.8em;
font-family: "Open Sans",Calibri,Candara,Arial,sans-serif;
Please see the image below:
Now to my CSS:
p.test-fonts {
font-family: "Open Sans",Calibri,Candara,Arial,sans-serif;
font-size: 12pt;
line-height: 1.8em;
margin: 0 0 10.5px
}
However, the text rendered differently::
Why this difference?
if you look in his source, you'll see he is including the stylesheet:
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700
which includes:
#font-face {
font-family: "Open Sans";
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: local("Open Sans"), local("OpenSans"), url("http://fonts.gstatic.com/s/opensans/v10/cJZKeOuBrn4kERxqtaUH3T8E0i7KZn-EPnyo3HZu7kw.woff") format("woff");
}
#font-face {
font-family: "Open Sans";
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 700;
src: local("Open Sans Bold"), local("OpenSans-Bold"), url("http://fonts.gstatic.com/s/opensans/v10/k3k702ZOKiLJc3WVjuplzHhCUOGz7vYGh680lGh-uXM.woff") format("woff");
}
#font-face {
font-family: "Open Sans";
font-style: italic;
font-weight: 400;
src: local("Open Sans Italic"), local("OpenSans-Italic"), url("http://fonts.gstatic.com/s/opensans/v10/xjAJXh38I15wypJXxuGMBobN6UDyHWBl620a-IRfuBk.woff") format("woff");
}
#font-face {
font-family: "Open Sans";
font-style: italic;
font-weight: 700;
src: local("Open Sans Bold Italic"), local("OpenSans-BoldItalic"), url("http://fonts.gstatic.com/s/opensans/v10/PRmiXeptR36kaC0GEAetxjqR_3kx9_hJXbbyU8S6IN0.woff") format("woff");
}
Do you have the Open Sans font in your project?
Open-sans is not a browser default font, you need to include it manually, it's a font provided by Google Fonts and therefore you need to call it in your document whereas is from the CSS through #import or inside the DOM in the .html file.
If you go to the GoogleFonts site http://www.google.com/fonts and look for "Open-sans" you'll find all the options there on how to use it, you'll have to choose the weights you want to use and the different styles you want to import as each one of those differences are an actual independent font and so they will weight more as you increase the number of variations available for your site.
ALSO
You are viewing your document loading it from the "file" declaration on your browser, I would recommend you to use a local-machine such as Xampp if you are using Windows in order to not have URL issues when using relative paths on your CSS.
I'm implementing google's font named Roboto in my site.
I need 2 types : bold and regular.
So I checked both types and pressed the download button :
But in the downloaded rar file I got ALL the font styles ( also ones which I didn't choose) :
Anyway I wanted to test the regular font : (the fonts are now in my site and not being loaded from google).
(I got those other extensions types (eot,woff,svg) using a font converter (http://www.font2web.com/))
So I did :
<style type="text/css">
#font-face {
font-family: 'Roboto';
src: url('/font-face/Regular/Roboto-Regular.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('/font-face/Regular/Roboto-Regular.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('/font-face/Regular/Roboto-Regular.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
url('/font-face/Regular/Roboto-Regular.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('/font-face/Regular/Roboto-Regularo.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}
body { font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif; }
</style>
Question :
Let's say I want to apply a Roboto bold style to a div.
Should I do it like this :
div {
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
font-weight:bold
}
or should I do this ( start all over...)
#font-face {
font-family: 'Roboto-bold';
src: url('/font-face/Regular/Roboto-bold.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
...
}
and then
div { font-family: 'Roboto-bold', sans-serif; }
This is what you have to do:
#font-face {
font-family: 'Roboto';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: /* links to the Regular files */;
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'Roboto';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 700;
src: /* links to the Bold files */;
}
Notice how the same font name is used in both #font-face rules. Now the browser knows that the font "Roboto" exists in two variants. The browser will automatically choose the best variant based on your CSS. So, for example:
div {
font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
}
Here the browser chooses the Bold font file. It's all automatic. You just have to make sure that you set up the #font-face rules correctly.
Any reason why you're downloading the font? If you're using it in a web site you can just use the #import code given by Google.
The checkboxes choosing the variations at the beginning only define the import code. If you choose to download the font to your computer it always gives you all variations regardless of the choices you made.
To use the font just include the link to the stylesheet containing the #font-face which google gives you. E.g.
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
or
#import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto);
in your existing stylesheet.
And then it's just a case of setting the font-family for the elements you choose. E.g.
body {
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
}
Regarding your question :
Yes, you need a separate #font-face for each variation. See example from google
Google example :
#font-face {
font-family: 'Roboto';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: local('Roboto Regular'), local('Roboto-Regular'), url(http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/roboto/v8/2UX7WLTfW3W8TclTUvlFyQ.woff) format('woff');
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'Roboto';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 700;
src: local('Roboto Bold'), local('Roboto-Bold'), url(http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/roboto/v8/d-6IYplOFocCacKzxwXSOD8E0i7KZn-EPnyo3HZu7kw.woff) format('woff');
}
If you don't include a bold variation for your font the browser will render bolded text as faux-bold instead. This can have variable appearance depending on browser and OS. Likewise for italic and bold-italic.
From your question it looks like your only declaring one font-face rule, related to the Regular version of the Roboto font.
Using the CSS from your question:
div {
font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
}
Will result in the browser faux bolding the font. The reason is, the font-face rule hasn't been included for the bold version of the font. Reference here: http://alistapart.com/article/say-no-to-faux-bold
As others (#yotam, etc) have mentioned (regardless of how the fonts are being served) you would need to declare a font-face rule for each font weight.
#font-face {
font-family: 'Roboto';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: /* links to the Regular files */;
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'Roboto';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 700;
src: /* links to the Bold files */;
}
You would then use that font weight as follows:
body {
font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;
font-weight: 400;
}
h1 {
font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;
font-weight: 700;
}
I would stress to use the actual font weight value and not font-weight: bold. As mentioned using font-weight: bold leaves the decision down the the browser.
At some point you may use a font with weights of 700, 900. Say 700 is be bold, 900 extra bold. If your declaring font-weight: bold the 900 weight would be used, which isn't the effect you would want.
You don't have to start all over.. if you got #font-face in your style then all you need to add is font-family like you said.
div {
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
font-weight:bold
}
And just for make it clear you can make the font as default by using him in body element like this
body {
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
font-weight:bold
}
EDIT:
You might considering download your font into your website folder, then instead taking website loading time you'll just have to add the next code to your #font-face:
#font-face {
font-family: 'Roboto';
src: url('fonts/font.ttf'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
/*....*/
}
The font should be inside fonts folder and he named font.
