Palatino Linotype font not supported on Mac and Apple devices

Hi there,

the System fonts contain a LOT of legacy fonts including Palatino which was well supported on most win/mac devices.

If you want that font across all devices you would need to own that font and install it as a local font on your site.

Google fonts we limit the list to the 'top' 200 - which we review periodically. This article explains more and how to show all ( not recommended for performance ) or add specific fonts to the list.

Hi David thanks for reply,

Sure I know! Also on my mac there is the Palatino font ... but the problem is not the font is the css code generated by GeneratePress which is not compatible because it is incomplete ... as I wrote before, this is the code generated by GeneratePress:

font-family: “Palatino Linotype”;

But unfortunately, the font shown is Times and not Palatino ... to show the correct font I had to add custom css as follows:

font-family: “Palatino”, Palatino Linotype, serif;

Aah ok - we'll take a look into that.

Hi there,

Thanks for the heads up here. We have a full rebuild of our Typography structure planned for GP 3.1.0 and GPP 1.13.0 which will address issues like this.

For right now, there is a "hack" you can apply. You can overwrite the System Stack value to the value you need:

add_filter( 'generate_typography_system_stack', function() {
    return '"Palatino", Palatino Linotype, serif';
} );

Then choose "System Stack" in the Customizer.

Less than ideal, but it will work until we release the new typography system :)

Hi Tom, thanks for the reply! I'm happy with the news of the next updates ... I will wait for version 3.1.0! Good job!

Sounds good - thanks!
