[Resolved] Uploading local (non-Google) fonts

[Ben]

Hi,

I’ve been trying to upload TTNormsPro-Bold (which I purchased as a webfont from MyFonts) as a local font on my site. I’ve gone through the steps here.

Since it’s non-Google, I tried to adjust the CSS from @font-face manually to include the specific URL path for the font (which I read in another topic somewhere for non-Google fonts).

I’ve got this:

/* TTNormsPro-Bold */
@font-face {
font-family: ‘TT’NormsPro-Bold;
src: local(‘TTNormsPro-Bold), local(‘TTNormsPro-Bold’),
url(‘http://staging3.enrola.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/TTNormsPro-Bold.woff2’) format(‘woff2’), /* Chrome 26+, Opera 23+, Firefox 39+ */
url(‘http://staging3.enrola.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/TTNormsPro-Bold.woff’) format(‘woff’); /* Chrome 6+, Firefox 3.6+, IE 9+, Safari 5.1+ */
}

(I was only sent .woff and .woff2 files, so I assume I can’t go for “Best Support”)

Is this correct? It’s not rendering in Chrome, but does seem to be in Firefox (Safari won’t let me view my Staging site).

The site is staging3.enrola.co.uk

Hi there,

can you make sure that any of your code does not contain curly quotes ie. ‘ – they should all be: '

Hi David,

Thanks for coming back to me. I did check that, and I actually uploaded the following into Simple CSS after editing:

/* TTNormsPro-Bold */
@font-face {
font-family: ‘TTNormsPro-Bold’;
src: local(‘TTNormsPro-Bold’), local(‘TTNormsPro-Bold’),
url(‘http://staging3.enrola.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/TTNormsPro-Bold.woff2’) format(‘woff2’), /* Chrome 26+, Opera 23+, Firefox 39+ */
url(‘http://staging3.enrola.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/TTNormsPro-Bold.woff’) format(‘woff’); /* Chrome 6+, Firefox 3.6+, IE 9+, Safari 5.1+ */
}

I think it still isn’t working though 🙁

I am seeing the .woff file is being requested, but the .woff2 is not found – can you confirm the ULR/font name is correct and that font file is uploaded.

Hi David,

Quite right – I hadn’t uploaded .woff2

I’ve done that now and I think it’s working. Thank you!

[David]

Glad to hear that!
