I have a WordPress site here: http://www.iliveaccountable.com/
That I want to change the first element "iLiveAccountable" to font family to CaviarDreams_Italic.ttf and change the text-transform into "none" so that it will follow the exact text.
I place all my fonts on a folder and added this code on my style.css sheet and tried to play it using the inspect element since I am only targeting the first element in the navigation:
#font-face {
font-family: Caviar Dreams;
src: url(http://www.iliveaccountable.com/wp-content/themes/unicon/fonts/CaviarDreams_Italic.ttf);
font-weight: normal;
}
li#menu-item-15113{
text-transform: none;
font-family: Caviar Dreams;
}
For some reason I can't still change the font family as well as the text-transform. Any idea what I am doing wrong here? I really need to change it.
Try using
#menu-item-15113 a{
text-transform: none;
font-family: Caviar Dreams !important;
}
The "a" tag has its own font which is "Montserrat" thats why you can't change them via "li" tag only.

I have a Font Awesome Pro license. Most of the icons show up, no problem, as you can see here: https://ruthannereid.com
Specifically, I use the Duotone books icon in my menu (screenshot): https://i.imgur.com/n3xoiDR.jpg
I want that same icon here (screenshot): https://i.imgur.com/8jXfyAQ.jpg
Weirdly, when I add font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Duotone" in the CSS, the icon breaks spectacularly (screenshot): https://i.imgur.com/GUK4yIq.jpg
I would love some help on this. I don't know if I need to do a PHP trick or what, but I'm willing to try any kind of code (hopefully CSS).
P. S. I've tried to add the "fa" and "fad" CSS specifications to the site::before icon manually, but it didn't fix this.
Current CSS:
.error404 .site-inner::before,
.page .site-inner::before,
.single .site-inner::before {
content: "\f5db" !important;
font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Pro" !important;
font-weight: 900 !important;
background: none !important;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
font-style: normal;
font-variant: normal;
font-size: 80px;
color: var(--fa-primary-color,inherit);
opacity: 1;
opacity: var(--fa-primary-opacity,1);
}
When using the unicode approach rather than the class name approach there are a few gothchas and I am not sure which way you want to work. If you are using the Font Awesome 5 Pro font rather than the Font Awesome 5 Duotone font you need to make sure you specify the primary and the secondary unicodes. At the moment you are only seeing half the icon because you have only specified the primary layer of the icon.
If you take a look at the books page you will see there is a second unicode of 10f5db which I have highlighted in the screenshot below:
To also display the secondary layer you can add the following :after code alongside your original :before code
.error404 .site-inner::after,
.page .site-inner::after,
.single .site-inner::after{
content: "\10f5db" !important;
font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Pro" !important;
font-weight: 900 !important;
background: none !important;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
font-style: normal;
font-variant: normal;
font-size: 80px;
color: var(--fa-primary-color,#fff);
opacity: 1;
opacity: var(--fa-primary-opacity,1);
}
I have not tested this solution because our Pro account does not have SO on the whitelist but am confident it should work. If it does not then please give me a shout and I will test it on one of our whitelisted domains for you.
If you are using the Font Awesome 5 Duotone font then you can specify the --fa-secondary-color as well as the --fa-primary-color.
I've been trying to add a css font style like the one on the landing page of http://www.lecrae.com. The text that says "LECRAE", I'm trying to use the same css style, but it doesn't seem to be working for me, only "W" in the word "Welcome" shows, and it doesn't look like the font too. Here's my code below:
CSS
.header { font-family: Futura, "Trebuchet MS", Arial,sans-serif;
font-weight:700;
letter-spacing:14em;
line-height:1em;
color:#333;
font-style:normal;
font-size:120px;
}
HTML
<h1 class="header">Welcome</h1>
There are three issues here:
Only the first letter "W", of your heading "Welcome" is showing.
The font(s) you specified are not showing.
You want to use Futura, but it isn't available for free.
The first issue is solved easily. You are using a huge letter-spacing of 14em, I assume you made a typo when copying the given source and it was supposed to be .14em. This explains why you can only see the first letter: all other letters are being pushed out of the screen.
The second issue is also solved easily. You are specifying fonts that might not be available on a users computer. For example, most Linux distributions do not ship with any of the fonts you specified and would hence fall back to sans-serif. If you really want to use a specific font, #import that font from a source like Google Fonts. This way, the font will be downloaded by the user's browser.
The third issue is easy as well: you either pay for the font or you need to use a different, freely available font instead.
Putting that together:
#import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:700');
.header {
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
font-weight: 700;
letter-spacing: .14em;
line-height: 1em;
color: #333;
font-style: normal;
font-size: 120px;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
<h1 class="header">Welcome</h1>
Also note that you did not copy the text-transform: uppercase rule, which I added here.
I'm using custom fonts in WordPress. I do it by defining font family. I'm having problem if line spacing with One if my fonts. If I use line-height code in my custom css I'd theme, it's applied to all the fonts which isn't required. I just want to change line spacing of problematic font. Can we define line spacing for a font while defining its font family?
Best Regards
You can implement font-family with line-height in one class. I mean something like this:
HTML:
<div class="lato-font">Text</div>
<div class="monospace-font">Text</div>
CSS:
.lato-font {
font-family: Lato, sans-serif;
line-height: 1.6;
}
.monospace-font {
font-family: monospace, serif;
line-height: 1.6;
}
In this case you can set custom line-height for each font.
You'll have to define line-height for each element or class that uses the custom font.
h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,.lead-text,.some-other-class,li {
font-family: ######;
line-height: 20px;
}
I have a odd issue on my "in-development" website here: http://www.cphrecmedia.dk/musikdk/stage/
The H1-h6 fonts are just "sans-serif", but often in Chrome it shows another font (screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/260B0H0l1w0C). When the mouse hover the navigation it changes to the right font. FYI this is how it should look like: http://cl.ly/image/442l071M3N1B
The code used for font is:
.nm li a {
float: left;
font-family: sans-serif;
height:22px;
padding: 12px 14px 7px 14px;
color:#white;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 20px;
}
I mainly develop using Chrome, so I'm not sure if the issue is present in other browsers. Have anyone of you seen this issue before?
'sans-serif' is not a font name it's a font family specification.
Use a sans-serif font name like "Arial" or "Verdana" or else you will have unexpected results (the browser may replace your font with generic ones).
Try using custom font method by downloading the font and keeping it in your fonts folder.
Example:
#font-face {
font-family: myFirstFont;
src: url('Sansation_Light.ttf')
,url('Sansation_Light.eot'); /* IE9 */
}
div
{ font-family:myFirstFont; }
Try using custom web font from google:
http://www.google.com/fonts
Select a font and uses one of the three metods, i prefer CSS method.
Example:
#import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto);
Import this in CSS and use this for you text: font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
I don't think there is an easy way to do this, and it looks like a shortcoming in CSS to me.
Anyway here is the problem:
I want to use a different font for all the bold text in my web page.
For example, take look at the following markup:
<span>Hello</span> <strong>world</strong>
and the CSS:
span { font-weight: bold }
Now is there an easy or recommended way to get both the bolded words (the one using the tag and the one using the css rule) to be using a different font?
Something like:
*[font-weight:bold] { font-family: 'Comic Sans'}
Edit:
What I want is to have a global option of setting font for all bolded text in the page. Given that normally CSS files tend to get bigger in size over time, giving a special class for all places where bold text is used is not a feasible solution.
It involves a little lying, but this seems to work in Firefox 13, Chrome Latest, Opera 11.64, and even IE9:
<h1>This is Bold!</h1>
<p>This is <span id="bold">text</span> that is <strong>bolded</strong>.</p>
<p>Something <span style="font-style: italic;">here</span> is <i>Italicized</i>!</p>
#font-face {
font-family: 'Merriweather';
font-weight: regular;
src: local('Unkempt'), url('http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/unkempt/v4/MsFMwD9wD1OCzqw3trD0PA.woff') format('woff');
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'Merriweather';
font-weight: bold;
src: local('Merriweather Bold'), local('Merriweather-Bold'), url('http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/merriweather/v4/ZvcMqxEwPfh2qDWBPxn6nnl4twXkwp3_u9ZoePkT564.woff') format('woff');
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'Merriweather';
font-style: italic;
src: local('Cousine Bold Italic'), local('Cousine-BoldItalic'), url('http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/cousine/v4/y_AZ5Sz-FwL1lux2xLSTZXhCUOGz7vYGh680lGh-uXM.woff') format('woff');
}
* {
font-family: 'Merriweather', serif;
}
strong, #bold {
font-weight: bold;
}

It’s a design feature, not a shortcoming, of CSS that properties work independently of each other, except where otherwise indicated in CSS specifications. There is no way to couple two properties together. Even if you set them in the same rule, as in .foo { font-weight: bold; font-family: Awkward }, they act independently (and either of them, or both, could be overridden by other style sheet rules).
So you just have to design your use of markup and CSS so that that uses a specific font for all bold text, if that’s what you want. (It’s typographically very questionable and makes me wonder what design error caused that assumed need.) Note that in general browser style sheets can bold whatever they want to, and they typically want to bold heading elements and th elements, among others. So if you wanted to prevent anything from getting bolded except on your command, you would start with * { font-weight: normal; }.
In your code all the span are bold why you don't just change the font-family of the span tag ?
change your html to
<span>Hello <strong>world</strong></span>
and your css to
span {font-weight:bold;}
strong {font-family:'Comic Sans';}
You can also use the strong tag, it the perfect tag to use bold text.
http://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML/Elements/strong
Add a class to the span (Bold), not a style, and just do this:
span.Bold { font-weight: bold }
strong, span.Bold { font-family: 'Comic Sans' }
I don't see the problem here? Since the emboldened text will be contained either within a b or strong element (depending on your markup), you can simply target that with a font-family rule?
