[Resolved] Google font missing font weights

[Vignesh]

I am trying to use Poppins font with few font weights/variants. But GP is not loading the weights I need. Here is code from page header
“href=’//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Poppins:300,regular,500,600,700”.

I wanted to use 200 weight.
Poppins font https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Poppins?selection.family=Poppins.
I tried using google fonts filter but not working. Your help is appreciated.

Hi there,

Just tested and this worked for me:

add_filter( 'generate_typography_customize_list', 'lh_add_google_fonts' );
function lh_add_google_fonts( $fonts ) {
	$fonts[ 'poppins' ] = array( 
		'name' => 'Poppins',
		'variants' => array( '200' ),
		'category' => 'serif'
	);
	
	return $fonts;
}

The above solution worked, Thank you for the support.
Now I have another problem, I am unable to find “Load essential Icons only” setting. I marked that option a while ago and now wanted to uncheck but it is not there. Attaching screenshot for ref.

Hi Vignesh,

GP now uses its own Icons so FA essential icons option was removed as it is no longer required. If you want some more info on using FA then read here:

Thanks David for the info. But I am trying to include social media icons at footer, but those fontawesome icons are displaying in Customize/Builder modes but disappearing once I publish the site. To achieve that do I need to follow the above mentioned way?

[David]

Can you provide a link to the page?

Hi Vignesh yes if you follow the above instructions. Or alternatively as you are using BB you could use one of their widgets as this includes FA when icons are used.

Thank you David, let me try and update you.

Hi David,
I used function to include FA v5 and now it is working fine. Thank you for the timely help.

[David]
