[Support request] Uploading custom font

[Sebastián]

Hi im trying to add a custom font to my website.

I uploaded all the files through the CPanel and then I put this CSS in the style.css of the theme:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'geomanistregular';
    src: url('https://sebastiancardozo.com/wp-content/fonts/Geomanist-Regular-Webfont/geomanist-regular-webfont.eot');
    src: url('https://sebastiancardozo.com/wp-content/fonts/Geomanist-Regular-Webfont/geomanist-regular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('https://sebastiancardozo.com/wp-content/fonts/Geomanist-Regular-Webfont/geomanist-regular-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
         url('https://sebastiancardozo.com/wp-content/fonts/Geomanist-Regular-Webfont/geomanist-regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
         url('https://sebastiancardozo.com/wp-content/fonts/Geomanist-Regular-Webfont/geomanist-regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url('https://sebastiancardozo.com/wp-content/fonts/Geomanist-Regular-Webfont/geomanist-regular-webfont.svg#geomanistregular') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
}
@font-face {
    font-family: 'geomanistitalic';
    src: url('https://sebastiancardozo.com/wp-content/fonts/Geomanist-Regular-Italic-Webfont/geomanist-regular-italic-webfont.eot');
    src: url('https://sebastiancardozo.com/wp-content/fonts/Geomanist-Regular-Italic-Webfont/geomanist-regular-italic-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('https://sebastiancardozo.com/wp-content/fonts/Geomanist-Regular-Italic-Webfont/geomanist-regular-italic-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
         url('https://sebastiancardozo.com/wp-content/fonts/Geomanist-Regular-Italic-Webfont/geomanist-regular-italic-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
         url('https://sebastiancardozo.com/wp-content/fonts/Geomanist-Regular-Italic-Webfont/geomanist-regular-italic-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url('https://sebastiancardozo.com/wp-content/fonts/Geomanist-Regular-Italic-Webfont/geomanist-regular-italic-webfont.svg#geomanistitalic') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
}

That’s the CSS for the regular and the italic version of the font.

Is there something else i need to do? Im not seeing changes.

Also, I saw another user who asked something similar and you guys told him that he needed to install the code snippets and then put the generate_typography_default_fonts PHP. I tried but it gave me a fatal error.

Is there something im missing?

Thanks

PS: The custom font is geomanist

Hi there,

Should be the exact steps here: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-custom-font/

The filter is just so that it shows up in the customizer.

What was the code you added?

The filter needs to be added using one of these methods: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

So, remove this from your CSS:

add_filter( 'generate_typography_default_fonts', 'tu_add_local_fonts' );
function tu_add_local_fonts( $fonts ) {
    $fonts[] = 'No5-Regular';
    return $fonts;
}

And add it using one of the methods in the article above 🙂
