Hi. Is it possible to install a new font to this theme? My client is very keen on using Copperplate Gothic. Can we do this somehow? If we can, please can you guide me on how to do so. Thanks.

Hello,

You can use @font-face to implement such functionality.

Do you have much experience with font face? I’ve never used it before and I’m not sure I am doing it right. I’m following this guide http://www.miltonbayer.com/font-face/ (I found this a little easier to understand). I’ve uploaded CopperplateGothicStd-32BC.otf into the root of my folder and then added the below into the top of my style.css. It hasn’t worked. Can you see/tell me what I’m doing wrong at all? Many thanks.

@font-face {
font-family: CopperplateGothic;
src: url(https://8theme.b-cdn.net/CopperplateGothicStd-32BC.otf);
}
h4 {
font-family: CopperplateGothic, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}

Hello,

You should set the correct path to the file here src: url(https://8theme.b-cdn.net/CopperplateGothicStd-32BC.otf);

Hello,

Sorry, but we don’t know where your file is located.
Find it via FTP and copy the direct path.

Thank you.

Eva Kemp.

My file is in the root. The URL is http://79.170.44.106/chateauclinet.com/CopperplateGothicStd-32BC.otf which is what I have now put. It is still not working.

Hello,

Sorry, but unfortunately there is no possibility to add additional fonts to the theme except of Google fonts.
Thank you for understanding.

Eva Kemp.

So why did you recommend font-face at the beginning of this thread and even your last response was about font-face?

And to be honest, I’m very disappointed because I went away and spent £30 on the font I wanted to use after I was told “You can use @font-face to implement such functionality.

Hello,

Please take our apologies.
There was misunderstanding.

You can only add Google fonts to the theme.
We’ll try to do our best to improve the theme for the possibility to add other fonts.

Eva Kemp.
