CSS “font-weight” has no effect?

    Hi Ryan—

    Thanks for the great plugin–it seems to do exactly what I need!

    One question, though. I have the following in the Custom CSS box in my Simple Banner settings:

    font-family: "Raleway", sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-size: 1.4rem;
font-weight: 200;
letter-spacing: 0.025em;

    The font and size are changing fine, but no matter what I put in that font-weight value, the banner seems to stay just plain “bold.” I know just enough CSS to be dangerous, so I’m sure I’m missing something obvious. Any suggestions on how I can get a 200 weight in the banner text?

    Thanks!

    David

    try using font-weight: 200 !important;. the !important tag should make this css rule take precedence over existing rules.

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    Yeah, !important was the first thing I thought to try. (And I tried it with various weight values just to be sure.) Doesn’t seem to make a difference…?

    Looks to me like it works on your site. Since you are using a non default font, it could be that you aren’t loading the light font weight versions of the font on your site.

    Hunh. Yeah, those same weights work fine in other styles elsewhere. :: shrug ::

    Well, it’s not the worst thing in the world if the banner text is a little bolder than I was thinking it should be. ??

    Thanks again for the quick replies! Great plugin!

    No worries, please reach out if you have any other issues. As a last ditch effort, you can try using lighter instead of 300, https://htmldog.com/references/css/properties/font-weight/
