Need help with fonts please :)

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hello!

I would like to add 2 fonts to the content block's text editor font dropdown list. I also want to be able to use these fonts as required/desired in other blocks such as my main header navigation links and the footer text.

I am pretty new at this so please bear with me; I am figuring out things as I go by reading the forums and googling things - but I wasn't able to find the answer to this.

Google fonts gave me this code:

#1
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans:400,700|Audiowide' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>


and

#2
font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif;
font-family: 'Audiowide', cursive;


I put #1 in my theme's main.css file in the header area, and tested what would happen if I added #2 to "Dashboard>themes>customize>Add Your CSS" and it did change my fonts in certain places on the site but not others. It wasn't what I wanted because I wanted more control of what areas used what fonts so I took out the #2 code but have left #1 where I added it for now. I didn't want to mess around more without asking for advice. Can anyone with more experience with Concrete5 and CSS give me some direction? It would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Brendan

You can go to Dashboard-Settings-Rich Text Editor and select Custom. Then edit the section theme : "concrete", add the font select like you see it's in the advanced section lower down, and edit the line of available fonts adding the Google Font names and remove the ones you do not want.

Then put your Google code in header.php and typography.css and you should be good to go.
