Changing fonts in customizer not reflecting?

Hi there,

There aren’t any default options for changing the theme’s font in the Customizer. Did you install a plugin to get that option to appear?

If you can share more details about the font you’re trying to use, a link to the site you’re customising, and any plugins you use to get that option in the Customizer, then I’ll be happy to help further.

In general, you will need to call a font in the theme’s style.css file. Plugins may have separate options for you, though.

I didn’t install a plug in, but there are open fonts that appear for some reason. Just trying to leverage something clean that isn’t arial :).

@megan.bares: Can you please share a link to your site so that I can take a look into why your fonts aren’t applying?

Thanks!

sure! it’s https://www.815catholic.com.

I put this in the CSS and no such luck:

@font-face {
	font-family: 'Alegreya Sans', sans-serif;
	src: url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Alegreya+Sans');
/*URL to font*/

Hi there,

I’m not currently able to find any elements targeted for that font. If you’d like to use it, then you’ll need to add some custom CSS and target specific elements.

As you’ve already created a child theme, try the following in its style.css file:

body, button, input, select, textarea {
    font-family: 'Alegreya Sans', sans-serif;
}

Let me know how that goes!

nailed it. thanks!

Perfect!
