Ordered list () numbering font differs from specified font-family

Sorry, my plea for help somehow got completely corrupted...

Hi there,

Any chance you can link us to the page in question?

You can use the private information field:

Let me know :)

Thank you for your prompt response, Leo!

I have temporarily stopped the 2FA on my site and below, in the private section, is the login info. You should be able to sign in.

The page involved is "Sources". It basically is a numbered listing of the origins of the various site elements. It's also the only page I have "cleaned up" by eliminating the many superfluous html portions that the WordPress classic editor typically scatters all over the page.

Basically, no matter what html/CSS approach I have tried, the actual decimal numbers of the Sources list use a different (but consistent) font --which I don't recognize-- than Montserrat, which I specified via the GP typography and/or local page commands for the entire site body text.

I realize that it is a small point and my site is just a private thing; still any possible help is very much welcome.

Best,

Fritz.

Thanks,

Fritz.

Hi Fritz,

Can you add your site link along with the login?

Thanks!

Hi Ying,

so sorry for forgetting the obvious! The site is " mychangingview.com " and the login is below in the private section.

I tried to log in your site, but it requires a 2 Factor Authentication code:

I compared the font of the list and the Google fonts, they look the same to me:

Hi Ying,

and thank you for your effort on my behalf.

I did, just now, disable the 2FA on the site and you should be able to sign in with the info below...

Regarding the font problem: a careful look at the number "one" (1.) of the list enumerators (1. .... 10., 11., 12., 13., & 14., etc) shows that these number ones (and only the # 1!!) are not the same as the number 1 of the actual Montserrat text that appears in the list paragraph text (for example: "1. The Window - Leonard Cohen, Recent Songs, 1979". It's very subtle and only involves the #1.

Again, the number "one" that sequentially enumerate the lists is different from the number one that appears in the actual texts of each listing. I hope this makes it clear that only the number one is involved, no other digit or letter. Can I somehow send a screenshot to explain what I mean?

Thanks so much again,

F.

Hi Fritz,

I see. Thank you for explaining.

To test if this is a theme related issue, I tested this specific behavior on a different theme, and enquequed the font ‘Montserrat’ manually via code: https://share.getcloudapp.com/Z4u7ZLZx

Upon testing, I found that this is the default behavior of this Font even on different themes, and therefore, isn’t a theme-related issue.

See: https://share.getcloudapp.com/NQuNdDby

I found a way to override this behavior. Specifically, You’ll need to manually type the numbers of your ordered list as such: https://share.getcloudapp.com/DOu4jQGB

Then, you can add CSS code list-style: none to remove the list numbers: https://share.getcloudapp.com/Z4u7ZLzo

ol {
	list-style:none;
}

Here is an article with regards to adding CSS: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-css/#additional-css

Adding it through additional CSS should work.

Hope this clarifies! :)

Hi Fernando,

and tank you for your helpful response!! That makes so much sense --- I suspected that there was some "default" behavior of the GP Theme involved in this, but your point proves me wrong. Still, it is a very subtle, but odd behavior...

Thank you so much also for your suggestions and workarounds -- I will do this.

Please extend my thanks also to Ying and Leo.

Best regards,

Fritz.

I agree, it's definitely odd. :)
