KillZoneZ Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I'm trying to add a custom font do my website, but for some reason it isn't working. This is what i've tried: Added this to the css file(Didn't work): @font-face { font-family: Pixelated; src: url(pixelated.ttf); } Changed to this(Also didn't work): @font-face { font-family: Pixelated; src: local('pixelated.ttf'); } Lastly tried to add them both (one at a time) it in the php file under style, and still didn't work.

Ch0cu3r Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) @font-face only defines fonts. To use the font you need to apply to a HTML element @font-face { font-family: Pixelated; src: local('pixelated.ttf'); } /* apply Pixelated font to body tag */ body { font-family: Pixelated; } If you are using CSS styles in the same file as your HTML then make sure it is wrapped in <style></style> within the <head> tag Edited August 27, 2015 by Ch0cu3r Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/297952-font-face-problems/#findComment-1519731 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillZoneZ Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) I forgot to mention it in the topic but yeah i used it on a element and yes it was between the style tags, still not working I dont really understand why. Tried this: @font-face { font-family: 'Pixelated'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 300; src: local('Pixelated'), local('Pixelated.ttf'), url(pixelated.ttf) format('ttf'); } Still not working.

maxxd Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Don't put the font-style and font-weight properties in the @font-face selector. @font-face{ font-family: 'Pixelated'; src: url('Pixelated.ttf') format('truetype'); } h1{ font-family: Pixelated; font-weight: 300; font-style: normal; } Just to ask the obvious questions I'm sure you've considered already, does the browser you're using support True Type fonts - you may have to create and load a .woff, .woff2, or .eot font as a fallback? Is the path to the font file correct on the server? In lieu of all that, you could always try @import for the font file.

scootstah Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Don't put the font-style and font-weight properties in the @font-face selector. No, you should put font-style and font-weight properties in the @font-face selector. This is so that CSS knows which font file to use when those properties are used later. For example: @font-face { font-family: 'SomeFont'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; src: url('SomeFont.ttf') format('truetype'); } @font-face { font-family: 'SomeFont'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 300; src: url('SomeFont-Light.ttf') format('truetype'); } @font-face { font-family: 'SomeFont'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; src: url('SomeFont-Bold.ttf') format('truetype'); }So then later when defining styles if we say font-weight: 300, it will use SomeFont-Light.ttf, if we say font-weight: 700 it will use SomeFont-Bold.ttf, etc. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/297952-font-face-problems/#findComment-1519749 Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxd Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 @scootstah - Hunh. In the past (and granted, I don't use @font-face often - I tend to go Google fonts or system fonts), I've just named them differently: @font-face { font-family: 'SomeFont'; src: url('SomeFont.ttf') format('truetype'); } @font-face { font-family: 'SomeFontLight'; src: url('SomeFont-Light.ttf') format('truetype'); } @font-face { font-family: 'SomeFontBold'; src: url('SomeFont-Bold.ttf') format('truetype'); } I seem to recall it working. And if it's one font with different styles embedded, I thought that was just controlled in the tag definition. Thanks for pointing that out - I didn't realize it worked that way! Definitely makes for more streamlined markup. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/297952-font-face-problems/#findComment-1519752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
