As I mentioned in the title, when using css font-family, custom font (font-face), it messes up (black background, black text (I guess)) auto complete drop down list in Opera.
input[type='text'], input[type='password'], input[type='email'], input[placeholder] {
font-size: 1.2em;
font-family: sans-serif;
color: #2A873A;
padding-left: 25px;
}
Code above works fine, but if I replace "font-family: sans-serif;" with some font-face font (google web fonts too), then problem starts.
Here is the screenshot of "bug" in action.
P.S. I should mention that that is Opera's native autocomplete, not custom js, dropdown list.
EDIT:

Have you tried specifying the font directly in your css? for example:
div.magicsomething {font-family:CustomFont,Customfont2,sans-serif;}
Keep in mind nested elements get stuck with custom fonts, so if you don't do the above, you may also very well need font-family:inherit in your 'nested elements'.
For extra help, please mention the name of the custom font, your full css and a live link to your site
Although this may be something obvious, check to make sure that your font is compatible with Opera. Here is a list of some web safe fonts.
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_websafe_fonts.asp
And if that doesn't work try taking the font you want from microsoft word and use #fontface to insert you custom font instead of using a websafe one.
And finally try using your font-family on the form and have the input inherit the font.
Hopefully this helped.
Ditto to specifying the font directly. You may also want to try using base64 encoding, which in my experience works beautifully and with great cross-browser compatibility.
You can specify colors for both the background and the text individually.
input {
background-color: white;
color: black;
font-family: "My Fontface Font", Verdana, ms serif;
}

This font Glamora is displayed with more thick than it should be and other weird things
the font look like this,
but is displayed like this
this is the formatting for that text
.brand h1{
color: #FEF2DB;
font-family: Glamora;
font-size: 230px;
line-height: 68.1%;
text-align: center;
letter-spacing: 0.095em;
}
There’s probably only one weight of this font, ie. a single style with no bold version or other variants.
By default, h1 and all other headings are set to be bold, so you are probably getting some faux bolding, created by the browser.
Try adding:
.brand h1 {
font-family: Glamora;
/* Etc. */
font-weight: normal;
}
I was able to reproduce your issue, and adding font-weight: normal; fixed it:
This might also have something to do with how the font outlines or how the font file was built, or the fact that it hasn’t been produced as a web font.
The license doesn’t appear to allow converting it into a web font, but it might be worth getting in touch with the designer and seeing if they would produce WOFF and WOFF2 files for you, or modify the license to allow converting the format. That said, that might not impact the issue, and this CSS change does fix it.
I'd like to include a down triangle in my CSS dropdown menu. It works correctly in every browser, except for IE9.
In normal browsers (Firefox, Opera, Chrome, etc.) it looks like this way:
However in IE9 it shows up like this:
The CSS code:
.parent-down > em:after,
.parent-down > a > em:after {
content: "\25be";
}
Any idea what can be the problem and how could I fix it?
You need to declare the font family for the (pseudo-)element containing the special character so that you use only fonts that are known to contain that character. For example, add the following rule into your declaration:
font-family: Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode, sans-serif;
When you declare Helvetica, as you say (in a comment) you do, Windows treats it as Arial by its own special internal rules (if Helvetica is not available, and it usually isn’t). Since Arial does not contain the character, the browser should check the different fonts in the system in some order set by its settings to find one that contain the character. Browsers may fail in doing so, and IE often does.
In this case, it is probably better to use another, more visible character, which happens to have better font coverage. The basic principle is still that special characters need special attention when declaring fonts. For generalities on this, see my Guide to using special characters in HTML.
I came to the solution by accident.
However IE9 doesn't show the "\25be" (▾) character, it shows the "\25bc" (▼).
It's the same down triangle, however somewhat bigger. So now I use this one and change its size with CSS, so it looks identical with the original version.
Don't ask why, IE9 is quite strange.
My new code:
.parent-down > em:after,
.parent-down > a > em:after {
content: "\25bc";
font-size: 8px;
vertical-align: 2px;
margin-left: 2px;
}
There is a bug in IE9 that causes the font of a container to be set to the font of the first element of that container. Try to set a :before selector like this:
.parent-down >em:before,
.parent-down> a > em:before {
content: '';
}
This will force IE9 to recognize that the font assigned to the container is the font meant to be used
See this site, which describes a similar issue and gives this workaround, which solved this very tricky problem for me.
I've got this html:
<p>
<span class="fancify">Parting is such sweet sorrow!</span><span> - Bill Rattleandrollspeer</span>
</p>
...and this css (added to the bottom of Site.css):
.fancify {
font-size: 1.5em;
font-weight: 800;
font-family: Consolas, "Segoe UI", Calibri, sans-serif;
font-style: italic;
}
So, I would expect the quote ("Parting is such sweet sorrow!") to be italicized, and of a different font than the name of the quotee (Bill Rattleandrollspeer), since its span tag has the class "fancify" attached to it. The class should certainly be seen, as the file in which it appears references the layout file which uses the Site.css file.
What rookie mistake am I making now?
UPDATE
I thought maybe the problem was that I had added the new class in Site.css following this section in that file:
/********************
* Mobile Styles *
********************/
#media only screen and (max-width: 850px) {
...but I moved it above there, and it is still not working, and not seen via F12 | Inspect element for the label in question.
I moved the reference to Site.css below the bootstrap.css file, which does indeed change the appearance of that text, but still not italicized, and still not seen in the element inspector...
UPDATE 2
Here's how the HTML is coming down:
<p>
<span>
<label class="fancify">Parting is such sweet sorrow!</label>
...and here's my css rule in Site.css:
p span label .fancify {
font-size: 1.5em;
font-weight: 800;
font-family: Consolas, "Segoe UI", Calibri, sans-serif;
font-style: italic;
display: inline;
}
...but it's not being recognized. I consider this a breech of css/html protocol, and should be adjudicated by some world body. Then again, I could be making some silly mistake somewhere.
There could be an error earlier in the CSS file that is causing your (correct) CSS to not work.
Have you tried forcing the selectors to be in the front of the class?
p span label.fancify {
font-size: 1.5em;
font-weight: 800;
font-family: Consolas, "Segoe UI", Calibri, sans-serif;
font-style: italic;
}
Usually it will add more weight to your CSS declaration.
My mistake ... There should be no space between the selector and the class.
The same goes for the ID. If you have for example:
<div id="first">
<p id="myParagraph">Hello <span class="bolder">World</span></p>
</div>
You would style it like this:
div#first p#myParagraph {
color : #ff0000;
}
Just to make a complete example using a class:
div#first p#myParagraph span.bolder{
font-weight:900;
}

Posting, since it might be useful for someone in the future:
For me, when I got here, the solution was browser cache. Had to hard refresh Chrome (cmd/ctrl+shift+R) to get the new styles applied, it seems the old ones got cached really "deep".
This question/answer might come in handy for someone. And hard refresh tips for different browsers for those who don't use Chrome.
I was going out of my mind when a rule was being ignored while others weren't. Run your CSS through a validator and look for parsing errors.
I accidentally used // for a comment instead of /* */ causing odd behavior. My IDE said nothing about it. I hope it helps someone.
Maybe your span is inheriting a style that forces its text to be normal instead of italic as you would like it. If you just can't get it to work as you want it to you might try marking your font-style as important.
.fancify {
font-size: 1.5em;
font-weight: 800;
font-family: Consolas, "Segoe UI", Calibri, sans-serif;
font-style: italic !important;
}
However try not to overuse important because it's easy to fall into CSS-hell with it.
For me, the problem was incorrect content type of the served .css file (if it included certain unicode characters).
Changing the content-type to text/css solved the problem.
I know this is an old post but I thought I might add a thought for people who come across a similar problem. I'm assuming that you are using ASP.NET MVC since you mentioned site.css. Check your Bundles.config file to see if you have BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true; If you don't, then it can be your problem since this allows the program to be bundles and "minified". Depending on if you run in debug mode or not this could have an effect.
In addition to the solutions posted above, having gone through the exact same problem, make sure you check your HTML. More specifically whether you've properly labelled your elements, as well as class and id selectors. You can do this either manually or through a validator (https://validator.w3.org/).
For me, I missed the equal sign next to the class (<div class someDiv> vs <div class = "someDiv">, hence why no CSS property was applied.
I had a similar problem which was caused by a simple mistake in CSS comments.
I had written a comment using the JavaScript // way instead of /* */ which made the subsequent css-class to break but all other CSS work as expected.
Reasoning for my CSS styles not being applied, even though they were being loaded:
The media attribute on the link tag which was loading the stylesheet had an incorrect value. I had inadvertently set it to 1 instead of all. This meant the browser was ignoring those styles in that linked stylesheet.
Broken:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css" media="1" />
Corrected:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css" media="all" />
For me, it was the local overrides in Sources -> Overrides.
A file gets saved locally whenever you change the styling of a page and chrome uses that file to override the server's css.
Clear the cache and cookies and restart the browser .As the style is not suppose to change frequently for a website browser kinda store it .
I also faced this issue. And this how it got resolved!
My css filename was gt.css. I was working on Visual Studio (eg.2017).
I went to solution explorer (press Ctrl+Alt+L) and searched gt.css
(enter your css filename). Right click on your css filename and then
on Bundler and Minifier (4th option curently) and then Re-Bundle file
(or directly press Shift+Alt+F).
Save any unsaved file, then empty cache and hard reload your web browser.
You can learn more about Bundler and Minifier here.
I had custom styling applied only on some elements (rows of table). I use Bootstrap. This was caused by having "table-striped" class. Once removed, all required rows had the custom class applied correctly.
A key point, here, may be the way the CSS rules propagate. Some rules are more important than others, so CSS rules do not always "cascade" in the way you might imagine that they ought to. This precedence of CSS rules is known as specificity - see (for example) description at w3schools.com
So, if you have a P element inside a DIV, you can control the font color with, say,
DIV P.highlight { color: red; }
If you have a later CSS instruction, like
.highlight { color: green; }
then it will NOT override the earlier instruction. This has confused me greatly, especially when loading multiple CSS files and naively thinking that I could override the earlier CSS.
I'm too used to setting the className attribute in JSX with React, but not too used to setting the class attribute in plain old HTML. So my mistake when spinning up a quick CodePen was setting a classname attribute, which sets no actual class whatsoever in plain HTML. The correction was, of course, to give the element a class instead.
Hard reload your chorome Shift+F5
Look at the spacing between selectors.
p span selects all span in p
span label selects all label in span
p span label selects all label in span in p
so label .fancify selects all .fancify in label
there is nothing of class fancify in label. label is on the same level, not above
so label.fancify
I'm using #font-face that has to be given a large font-size. for example the font-size of the title is 54px which is normally so big, but in this font it appears medium.
So the problem is, while the page loads, the alternative font appears veeeery big and breaks the whole layout.
Is there a way i can specify a font-size for alternative font?
You might be able to use Modernizr. It adds classes to the <html> element which represent features that the browser supports. In this case, the class it adds for #font-face support is fontface.
What I would do is set the title size to what looks good for the alternative font, then nest the proper font-size, like so:
.title {
font-size: 20px;
font-family: arial, sans-serif;
}
.fontface .title {
font-size: 50px;
font-family: 'alternative-font', arial, sans-serif;
}
Though, even then I guess it might not change in the right order... Generally, I'd not worry about the layout looking funny while loading, but hopefully this helps.
I would try to retrieve the name of the font being used via JavaScript or jQuery and if it's not the #font-face font then adjust the font-size accordingly.
Edit:
Here's a JavaScript Font Detection plugin to test when the fallback font is being rendered.
I want to use a single font named "Algerian" across my whole website. So, I need to change all HTML tags and I don't want to write different code for different tags like:
button{font-family:Algerian;}
div{font-family:Algerian;}
The method written below is also highly discouraged:
div,button,span,strong{font-family:Algerian;}
Put the font-family declaration into a body selector:
body {
font-family: Algerian;
}
All the elements on your page will inherit this font-family then (unless, of course you override it later).
*{font-family:Algerian;}
better solution below
Applying a single font to an entire website with CSS
The universal selector * refers to all elements,
this css will do it for you:
*{
font-family:Algerian;
}
But unfortunately if you are using FontAwesome icons, or any Icons that require their own font family, this will simply destroy the icons and they will not show the required view.
To avoid this you can use the :not selector, a sample of fontawesome icon is <i class="fa fa-bluetooth"></i>, so simply you can use:
*:not(i){
font-family:Algerian;
}
this will apply this family to all elements in the document except the elements with the tag name <i>, you can also do it for classes:
*:not(.fa){
font-family:Algerian;
}
this will apply this family to all elements in the document except the elements with the class "fa" which refers to fontawesome default class,
you can also target more than one class like this:
*:not(i):not(.fa):not(.YourClassName){
font-family:Algerian;
}
* { font-family: Algerian; }
The universal selector * refers to any element.
Ensure that mobile devices won't change the font with their default font by using important along with the universal selector * :
* { font-family: Algerian !important;}
As a different font is likely to be already defined by the browser for form elements, here are 2 ways to use this font everywhere:
body, input, textarea {
font-family: Algerian;
}
body {
font-family: Algerian !important;
}
There'll still have a monospace font on elements like pre/code, kbd, etc but, in case you use these elements, you'd better use a monospace font there.
Important note: if very few people has this font installed on their OS, then the second font in the list will be used. Here you defined no second font so the default serif font will be used, and it'll be Times, Times New Roman except maybe on Linux.
Two options there: use #font-face if your font is free of use as a downloadable font or add fallback(s): a second, a third, etc and finally a default family (sans-serif, cursive (*), monospace or serif). The first of the list that exists on the OS of the user will be used.
(*) default cursive on Windows is Comic Sans. Except if you want to troll Windows users, don't do that :) This font is terrible except for your children birthdays where it's welcome.
Please place this in the head of your Page(s) if the "body" needs the use of 1 and the same font:
<style type="text/css">
body {font-family:FONT-NAME ;
}
</style>
Everything between the tags <body> and </body>will have the same font
Ok so I was having this issue where I tried several different options.
The font i'm using is Ubuntu-LI , I created a font folder in my working directory. under the folder fonts
I was able to apply it... eventually here is my working code
I wanted this to apply to my entire website so I put it at the top of the css doc. above all of the Div tags (not that it matters, just know that any individual fonts you assign post your script will take precedence)
#font-face{
font-family: "Ubuntu-LI";
src: url("/fonts/Ubuntu/(Ubuntu-LI.ttf"),
url("../fonts/Ubuntu/Ubuntu-LI.ttf");
}
*{
font-family:"Ubuntu-LI";
}
If i then wanted all of my H1 tags to be something else lets say sans sarif I would do something like
h1{
font-family: Sans-sarif;
}
From which case only my H1 tags would be the sans-sarif font and the rest of my page would be the Ubuntu-LI font
in Bootstrap,
web inspector says the Headings are set to 'inherit'
all i needed to set my page to the new font was
div, p {font-family: Algerian}
that's in .scss
*{font-family:Algerian;}
this html worked for me. Added to canvas settings in wordpress.
Looks cool - thanks !
