I’m really struggling with setting my fonts how I want them.

I’ve chosen to use Montserrat as my headline fonts and Hind for everything else. I’ve set this up in the Typography section of Theme Options, but it’s not working as I expect.

For example, on the home page of my test site (test.chno.co.uk), the fonts are hard coded and they appear as I expect. On the blog pages, where I hope the fonts will take the settings I enter in Theme Options, the font and colour is not the same.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong (I’m sure it’s me, not the theme…..)?

Thanks

Hello,

I checked your Blog post title and the font is the one that you set:

Please clarify and show screenshots what elements you have problem with.

Thank you.
Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

Ok, it was actually the body text. My Typography options are set to use “Hind” as the main font and “Montserrat” as the title fonts, but it was continuing to use IIRC Open Sans and Raleway.

I’ve had to manually edit style.css and do a global search and replace for Raleway to get Hind loading as I expect (now), but surely this isn’t the right way?

On my home page, every text section has the font set manually, it doesn’t inherit it from the font set as the body font in options (this was how the original demo page was setup, I just adapted it).

Have reverted style.css to original file. Now I cannot even change the main and body fonts – allows me to select a Google font and then doesn’t add it when I save?

Blog as it appears: https://www.evernote.com/l/AAT5Sxjg3g9P0o2gT1lnrXb5SpQgRd814f8B/image.png

The body test is being displayed in Raleway. At this point the body text was set as Hind (its not now, I can’t make any Google font ‘stick’!)

Done that Jack, thanks. Seems to have sorted the main font, not sure about the title fonts though?

Hello,

As I see page title in breadcrumbs section has “Montserrat” font. Do you want to change some other titles or change it to other font?

Best regards,

I guess what I’d like is for the Settings in Theme Options to work as expected. I don’t understand why they’re there if you have manually add the options to CSS files?

OK, this just isn’t working for me. I expect fonts to carry throughout the site. Yet, when I look at the homepage…..the featured products font is wrong (as is the colour). Help please!

Further to that post, when I look at the Footer static block (that contains the featured products section), it displays OK in Visual Composer (other than the font). When browsing in Safari however…..it’s awful.

I’m at a stage where I’m about to abandon this theme, because as much as it promises, it’s beginning to waste my time unless I can iron out these silly problems quickly. Would be good if I could actually speak/IM with someone to get to the bottom of this before having to look for a better theme……

I resolved that problem, and another one I was having on another thread. I believe most of my typography issues are OK, except for:

<`li>The Typography options in Theme Options now do nothing. I change the main and body fonts, and they don’t take when I save. This happened when I replaced the original style.css file as I mentioned above. However, this doesn’t matter too much because of the CSS you have given me…..apart from the next point

My Shop pages are now in the wrong font. They seem to have reverted to, I think, Raleway. I’m not sure if this changed when I updated the theme to 2.5, or if its always been like that.`

Help!

Body should be Hind, Headlines should be Montserrat. (So in WooCommerce, Product name is Montserrat and Hind for the description)

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Hello,

I’ve added this code in Global Custom CSS:

.product-title { font-family: Montserrat !important; } body { font-family: Hind !important; }

as I see font “Hind” is already set for P tag:
