I am trying to change the fonts on my theme, all the choices (except the default Oswald) appear the same. Even fonts I definitely have installed on my machine (eg. Georgia) aren’t displaying. Perhaps the font library isn’t loading? Could you look into that?
Nope, I’ve not touched the CSS yet. And I deactivated the only plug-in I had (Jetpack). It’s a new install and really shouldn’t have anything conflicting.
The font does change from Oswald to some “default” font but none of the choices I pick look any different. It’s like the theme isn’t “seeing” the other fonts. What else should I try?
I can’t possibly know from just hat you’re telling me. Do you have your website live? What’s your URL?
Hi,
great thanks for the great template! I have a Question, it is possible to add more fonts? I would use the dancing script font – and i dont get ist. So i wondering how i mistake, but it is another font not the same hwo use in H1 tag… Sorry fpr my bad english, iam german.
Hope you can help me 🙂 Thanks a lot!I am looking for the same functionality… not sure why I am not able to override the fonts. I am using a child theme and I haven’t edited any of the functionality of the theme but I have altered the css somewhat.
Were you able to get this to work gindavall? By the way your site looks great regardless!
@skiddysmith you mean my pixelsophie site? Thanks a lot for yor nice words about this! Problem are not solved yet.
Iam looking for help also!@pixelsophie ah, I haven’t seen a link to your site I was talking to @gindavall but I would love to check out what you have done with this theme also.
I meant to come back today and update this to say that I got it to work. I altered the drop-down in the functions.php to include the font stacks that I wanted to use for Headings/Body text. I have done this easily by making a child theme of Pinboard theme. If you are using a different google font you will want to add the appropriate code to the header.php file, not sure if this is necessary but this is what I did.
Same issue here. Fresh install of wp 3.4.1 and Pinboard 1.0.5. No plugins activated. Changing the headline fonts to anything other than Oswald displays simply as “sans-serif”. While I basically understand what @skiddysmith is saying, I don’t have the skills to make those changes to functions.php without explicit instructions.
it is possible to add fonts by loading the font files you need into a folder on your server, then using CSS3, your site will load them. go here: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface This will give you fonts you can download to upload to your site. then using @font-face coding they’ll also give you, you’ll then be able to load your fonts. Very easy to do. Then go into functions.php and find the
function pinboard_available_fonts() {Then give it a name and list the fonts you want to use like this:
‘times’ => ‘Times, “Times New Roman”, “Century Schoolbook L”, serif’,
Make sure the name of the font is in the list not just the name before the arrow.finally Upload the altered functions.php file to your server and it should all work. Please note: the functions.php file will lose your changes when Daniel provides an update to download. So you’ll have to do it again. Or in the custom css, use this kind of code:
body{
font-family: font1, font2, font 3;
}That would probably work as well.
Oh one other thing. When you type in the source file, fill out the entire web address otherwise it won’t work.
@skiddysmith, thank you so much for the kind words about my website! That was sure nice to read. You know how discouraging it can be when you’re first setting one up and not getting many hits or feedback yet.
As for the fonts issue, no, I’ve never seen an answer for it. I have modified my CSS a bit and have put in a couple php hacks, but nothing that should affect this font issue. In fact, my husband (who is also a developer) tried out a clean, fresh install of this theme in a sandbox (he was testing it for one of his sites) and the fonts wouldn’t change properly on that install either. So I have no idea why it’s working perfectly for Daniel and not for the rest of us.
I wonder what browser you are using? I didn’t have the same issue as I was able to use the default fonts provided but I had another font family in mind. It wasn’t as easy to change the fonts with overrides as it usually is in other themes using custom css. I was able to add new fonts to the drop down and they were implemented… but that took some editing of the functions.php and header.php files.
I’m sorry I don’t have an answer for the fonts not changing on your installs, and it sounds like you have expert help also! I know most of the fonts look quite similar but obviously you’re familiar with them too… Daniel is the theme creator so hopefully he can help you out to resolve this or become aware of whatever conflicts may be occurring as I can’t even hazard a guess!
