[Resolved] Adding Fonts

[Reace]

I have GP Premium and tried adding some font plug-ins. They are confusing and I can not get them to work. Any suggestions?

[Tom]

Do those font plugin do something the Typography add-on doesn’t?

[Reace]

Never heard of Typography add-on before. Is it already present or do I have to add it?
Thanks

[Tom]

It’s a part of GP Premium: https://generatepress.com/downloads/generate-typography/

You can activate it in “Appearance > GeneratePress” and then use the options in “Customize > Typography”.

Thanks
Is there anyway to add fonts like Times New Roman?

[Tom]

That one isn’t included – I’ll have to try and remember why.

Georgia is very similar to TNM and is available in the add-on.

What font are you trying to change? The whole site?

I am hoping to have the phrase: Do you need financial copywriting that will bring you dollars? as the heading. To have it in bold and large font. Below it would be Bring you dollars whether the words are on the Web or on paper? as a sub-head and in bold and smaller font. The rest of the text would be in regular font.

There is slot for Heading 1. How do I apply the font to the heading. Would the slot for Heading 2 apply to the subhead.

I don’t see Georgia being offered as one of the fond.
Thanks

You can find the font settings for H1s and H2s in “Customize > Typography > Content Typography”: http://screencast.com/t/rN1x7OcQNFwq

Or you can use this CSS:

h1, h2 {
    font-family: 'Times New Roman', Georgia, serif;
}

Let me know if you need more info 🙂

H1 controls “Home”
H2 does not control “Do you need financial copywriting that will bring you dollars?” I would like to make this my Headline in bold and large font. I have found “Georgia”. I go from customizing > typography> default typography.
Thanks

Hi Tom, Sorry to piggy-back on this thread. For some reason Google Fonts (through the add on in customizer) is not working. The font won’t change. It’s stuck on arial. I’ve tried deactivating possible plugins and no change. Any ideas? http://abilityjobs.com

Thanks!
Marge

@rls You’ll need to set that line as a Heading 2 (H2) in the visual editor for it to apply to that CSS.

@margeplas – best to start your own topic in these cases 🙂 Your problem is that you’ve added a bunch of inline styling to your content. If you click on the “Text” editor, you’ll see a bunch of <span> tags with font families in them setting it to Arial.

In the visual editor the headline looks like this:
<p style=”text-align: center;”>Do you need financial copywriting that will bring you dollars?</p>

Where would H2 go?

I want to make the next line the subheading. In the visual editor this sub headline looks like this:

<p style=”text-align: center;”> Bring you dollars whether the words are on the Web or on paper?</p>
I assume that H3 would go in the same area in this as the H2 goes in headline.

What is CSS?
Thanks
