I'm working on a style to change font to a custom one for a project. the code seems to work in the editing window but real sites doesn't seem to work. I think its falling back on a system default. How do I get around this? I'm using chrome if that matters.
#font-face {
font-family: 'wantedfont';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: local('wantedfont'),url(http://hazel-is.me/times_new_ancient.ttf);
}
*{
cursor: url(http://puu.sh/hoJq2/46859bf607.gif), progress;
font-family: wantedfont !important;
}
you can use the "bulletproof" syntax and add a ☺︎ as local font name to make sure it does not load a local font. more importantly add format declaration, full rule should be as such:
#font-face {
font-family: 'Graublau Web';
src: url('GraublauWeb.eot');
src: local('☺︎'),
url("GraublauWeb.woff") format("woff"),
url("GraublauWeb.otf") format("opentype"),
url("GraublauWeb.svg#grablau") format("svg");
}

I am currently trying to import a font with the #font-face CSS element, but it is not working/ showing up. It is the font Francaise from Dafont.com, it is in the css folder with the stylesheet, but will not change my header font to desired font.
I have already tried searching Stack for similar queries, but each attempt is in vain.
#font-face {
font-family: 'Francaise';
src: local('Francaise Regular Demo.ttf') format('truetype');
}
I have anticipated my header text to be the aforementioned font, but it only shows up as the fallback font, cursive Comic Sans.
You have to use #font-face url without adding white space. Just rename your font and try the following structure.
#font-face {
font-family: 'Francaise';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: url('francaise-regular-demo.ttf'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: local('Francaise Regular Demo'), local('Francaise Regular Demo'),
url('francaise-regular-demo.ttf') format('truetype');
}
Use the font-family: 'Francaise'; in your css.
first check the
Browser Support for Font Formats
use src for font
#font-face {
font-family: myFirstFont;
src: url(sansation_light.woff);
}
* {
font-family: myFirstFont;
}

I'm at my wits end with this problem. I'm trying to include a font. The CSS file is located at project/css/.
My font is located at project/fonts/iconfont/.
I have the following font files in that folder (even though I'd probably only need woff):
icons.eot
icons.svg
icons.ttf
icons.woff
This is how I try to include my font:
#font-face {
font-family: icons;
src: url(../fonts/iconfont/icons.woff) format('woff');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
However I can't use the font. Checking with Chrome developer tools it doesn't even load. What am I doing wrong here?
Try to link all fonts format in #font-face selector and call font-family with custom name in quotation marks.
/*--- Define a custom web font ---*/
#font-face {
font-family: 'YourWebFont';
src:
url('../fonts/iconfont/icons.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/iconfont/icons.ttf') format('ttf'),
url('../fonts/iconfont/icons.eof') format('eof'),
url('../fonts/iconfont/icons.svg') format('svg');
}
/*--- Use that font on the page ---*/
body {
font-family: 'YourWebFont', sans-serif;
}
Good luck!
To my knowledge to use a custom font, stored locally in this case, you would use something similar to this.
#font-face {
font-family: 'theFontFamily';
src local('the font'),
local('the-font'),
url(path/to/the-font);
}
.fontClass {
font-family: 'theFontFamily', extra_settings;
}
So using this font, locally, would you expect this to work?
#font-face {
font-family: 'Pacifico';
src: local('Pacifico Regular'),
local('Pacifico-Regular'),
url(resources/fonts/Pacifico.ttf);
}
.logo-container {
font-family: 'Pacifico', cursive;
}
As when I try it, the code changes the font, just not to the desired font. It looks like this.
Whereas if I use the import link, <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Pacifico" rel="stylesheet">, just using the following code works.
.logo-container {
font-family: 'Pacifico', cursive;
}
This looks like this.
I have probably made a simple mistake and I would appreciate if someone would be able to aid me in fixing this.
Make sure you link the source url properly. Try
#font-face {
font-family: 'myPacifico' ;
src: url('/resources/fonts/Placifico.ttf') format('truetype');
}
That's basic enough, then to use...
.logo-container {
font-family: 'myPacifico', san-serif; }
San-serif in this case is a fallback. In this case, ive linked to the regular ttf file. For bold and other styles, u'ld have to link to that in another #font-face with a different name.
Perhaps this will work (tricky to say for sure without being able to test 100%):
#font-face {
font-family: 'Pacifico';
src: url('Pacifico-Regular.eot');
src: url('Pacifico-Regular.eot?#iefix')
url('Pacifico-Regular.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('Pacifico-Regular.woff') format('woff'),
url('Pacifico-Regular.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('Pacifico-Regular.svg#svgFontName') format('svg');
}
To just use the TrueType font locally:
#font-face {
font-family: 'Pacifico';
src: url('Pacifico-Regular.ttf');
}
Bear in mind you should have more than just the TrueType font for the highest level of browser compatibility, but for testing with just TTF you can delete any lines not referring to the TTF version.
I'm trying to load local fonts with custom names. Everything works perfectly in all browsers except IE, as always. The font isn't being rendered in bold or italic. I can't seem to understand what I'm doing wrong here.
Here is a demo:
http://jsfiddle.net/maitreyjukar/5ga5k2oa/
I am loading the font using the following CSS
#font-face {
font-family: k_Arial;
src: local("Arial"),
local("Helvetica"),
local("sans-serif");
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
for all combinations of font-weight and font-style.
This is not only not an IE-specific issue it doesn't work on other browsers like Firefox.
Just write one font-face Rule istead of four like this:
#font-face {
font-family: k_Arial;
src: local("Arial"),
local("Helvetica"),
local("sans-serif");
}
Here is My Solution: http://jsfiddle.net/deepak__yadav/1eed9na5 i hope you will understand what you did wrong.
It's not an IE-specific issue - I'm on Firefox 38 and it doesn't work here either...
local sources are usually used to search on a user's machine before pointing to a URL, in order to speed things up.
However, you seem want to solely use locally installed fonts with a certain fallback order.
To achieve this, you could simply do the following:
body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
.bold {
font-weight: bold;
}
.italic {
font-style: italic;
}
Bonus tip: Combine the bold and italic classes and you don't need an additional class bolditalic.
JS-Fiddle
you can define your font like below example, this will work in all the browsers.
#font-face {
font-family: 'ProximaNovaRegular';
src: url('../fonts/ProximaNovaRegular.eot');
src: url('../fonts/ProximaNovaRegular.eot') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../fonts/ProximaNovaRegular.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('../fonts/ProximaNovaRegular.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/ProximaNovaRegular.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fonts/ProximaNovaRegular.svg#ProximaNovaRegular') format('svg');
}
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.
