[Theme: Gateway] Help with custom post types

    Hi everybody!
    I run an architecture magazine, and every other day we invite illustrators to draw something for our site. These posts consist on just an image and a few lines of text for the credits, etc. The thing is, the Gateway theme has a wide sidebar, and the image couldn’t be appreciated fully.
    So I created a child theme, and in the functions.php I added this: 

    function childtheme_formats(){
     add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'viernes') );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'childtheme_formats', 11 );

function remove_more_link_scroll( $link ) {
	$link = preg_replace( '|#more-[0-9]+|', '', $link );
	return $link;
}

    As a result, I now have a custom post type called ‘viernes’ for these image posts. I also created a single-viernes.php file and in it I wrote this:

    <?php
/**
 * The template for displaying all VIERNES posts.
 *
 */

get_header(); ?>

<div class="row">

	<div id="primary" class="content-area">

		<div class="large-12 columns">

			<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">

			<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

				<?php get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'single' ); ?>

				<?php gateway_post_nav(); ?>

				<hr>

				<?php
					// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template
					if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) :
						comments_template();
					endif;
				?>

			<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

			</main><!-- #main -->

		</div><!-- .large-12 -->

	</div><!-- #primary -->

</div><!-- .row -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

    Now I have a custom post type AND a full width template for those posts. But these custom posts didn’t show on my home page along with the rest ‘standard’ posts. So, in my functions.php I added

    add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'include_my_events');
function include_my_events($q) {

if ( !is_admin() && is_home() ) {
    $post_types = array('post','viernes');
    $q->set('post_type', $post_types);
}
return $q;
}

    The thing is, this last piece of code messes with the fonts I use and I don′t know why. Now the links on the sidebar, footer and even the ‘Read more’ tag appear unformatted.

    I’ve already tried doing the same thing using regular ‘image’ posts instead of a custom post type, but for whatever reason, the single-image.php nor the image.php files (containing the same code I wrote earlier) seem to have any effect.

    Any help is much appreciated!

    As it turns out, the way to achieve this kind of post (I’m talking about regular posts here, not a Custom Post), was to add this piece of code to the functions.php file on my child theme: 

    add_action('template_include', 'load_single_template');
  function load_single_template($template) {
    $new_template = '';

    // single post template
    if( is_single() ) {
      global $post;
      // 'cat-1' and 'cat-2' are category slugs

      if( has_term('cat-1', 'category', $post) ) {
        // use template file single-template-cat-1.php
        $new_template = locate_template(array('single-template-cat-1.php' ));
      }

      if( has_term('cat-2', 'category', $post) ) {
        // use template file single-template-cat-2.php
        $new_template = locate_template(array('single-template-cat-2.php' ));
      }

    }
    return ('' != $new_template) ? $new_template : $template;
  }
