Adding local font to GenerateBlocks Advanced Typography?
8 replies · Started by Teresa on March 31, 2020
I've (successfully) added a local font to my site (stupid typos and PBKAC notwithstanding) and it shows up in the Customizer (and site) fine. Wondering how I can do the same in the Advanced Typography section of GB.
The font doesn't appear in the menu and when I try to input the font name in the box it doesn't seem to take.
If this is a "we're on it, coming soon" feature, cool I can be patient.
All the above said, I'm finally getting the swing of creating nice landing pages with a lot less swearing than last week! http://www.trustglobalwireless.com/
Hi there,
This is because the @font-face CSS isn't loading in the block editor.
How are you adding that CSS right now? A child theme or another method?
Hi Tom, Greetings from the other side of Georgia Straight! I added the local fonts via your handy tutorial (into a child theme).
It's more annoying than anything else. I've set all the fonts in the Customizer so it doesn't really matter, but nice to see how things look.
Totally - give this a shot:
add_action( 'enqueue_block_editor_assets', function() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'your-handle-here', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . "/block-editor.css", false, '1.0', 'all' );
} );Then add block-editor.css in your child theme, and include the @font-face CSS (and any other CSS you want to load in the editor).
Let me know if you need more info :)
Awesome! I'll give it a shot! Thanks Tom.
Bingo! https://www.screencast.com/t/sKxNh5BCWj
Thanks again!
Awesome! Glad I could help :)
Hello,
I'm sorry to open this topic but I block that the addition of my font.
Can you be more explicit than:
Then add block-editor.css in your child theme, and include the @font-face CSS (and any other CSS you want to load in the editor).
I have added the php code that you quote in the "Code snippets" help but I don't know how to do the rest of the explanations.
Thanks in advance for the help
