Font trouble on other computers

    So I noticed this problem when I went to view my website on my fathers computers. The font only half loads. I was using the google font amatic SC. When I noticed the problem I changed it to a few different google fonts, no of which resolved the problem. I have now changed it one of the standard font options and it won’t even do the half loading thing.

    I can see everything perfectly fine on my macbook in google chrome, but like I said, when I viewed it on three different windows computer (XP, 7, and 8) in chrome the font only half loaded and then stopped showing my changes (even though I cleared the cache).

    However, when I checked my site on internet explorer on the windows 7 computer, it worked fine.

    Anyone have any idea how to fix it on my end so I don’t have to tell people my site only works in internet explorer?

    Here’s my site: https://www.boordcreations.com/

    I’m not sure if it works on other macs, I just know it works on mine and doesn’t on other computers.

  • In your CSS, instead of just using:

    font-family:Amatic SC;

    you can add a fall back.

    font-family:Amatic SC, verdana;

    So sites that can’t display the google font will show verdana instead. It’s always good to have a few fall backs ( also called font stacks.) This is a good resource – https://cssfontstack.com/

    I wouldn’t worry to much about computer running XP and IE8.
    That browser is 11 years old and no longer supported by Google and Microsoft.

    If people are using IE 9 and up, they will see the font.

    When you say the font loaded only half. can you email me a screen shot of what that looks like?

    If the site loaded the google font it’s really strange that it would only show on half the site.

    I’m not sure how, but when I checked my site today on those same computers that were having the issue yesterday it seems to be fixed…again I have now idea other than I changed the font again and then stopped messing with it.

    But whatever, it’s working properly now. Thanks for the help though!
