Custom font not showing on mobile
1 reply · Started by Chris on December 30, 2020
Hello,
Today I install the custom font on the website using the instructions for locally hosting a font file and using a combination of CSS and PHP filters to access it in the customizer.
Everything seemed to work perfectly and the font shows well on Chrome on a PC laptop.
I checked on my Android phone using Chrome and it looks like it is reverting to a system font. I'd love it to show the custom font on all platforms.
It may be because the font is only a OTF file and perhaps that is not supported on Android mobile devices. if you think that maybe the issue, is there a way to convert fonts to other more widely supported formats using some sort of tool?
Your help is appreciated!
Hi there,
i think you're seeing the font on your desktop because you may have it locally installed - as Sofia is not loading on any of my devices.
Theres a few tools online to convert fonts like this one:

woff and woff2 are the most widely supported.
