Fonts and child theme support?

  • Stayed away from Gutenberg for a while, but, since it’s the future of Wp gave it a try, with Aino. Started to like it as it became more stable, but I encountered 2 issues.

    Accustomed with how things worked before, created an Aino child theme. When I activate it I don’t get the full site editing as with the parent theme. It’san issue or something I missed to do?

    Om Site Editor page, global styles, I see a selection of font options to choose from. How they are added, is there any way I can add my own? I want to use 2 fonts, locally hosted.

    Thank you for any help.

    @ckubs , Thanks so much for trying Gutenberg and Aino. It’s awesome that you get familiar with FSE now, I think as early as we get familiar with FSE and the way block themes work, the better in the long run.

    Unfortunately child theme support is not quite there yet in FSE block themes. But as we looking into thew support for child themes ourselves, I will work on improving Aino’s child theme support as fast as possible.

    At the moment it’s necessary to copy all block templates and template parts as well as the theme.json file into the child theme in order for it to work. I recommend to then update the files from the parent theme when the parent theme updates.

    I know it’s not ideal, but I will write on our Aino block as soon as the child theme situation has improved.

    @elmastudio Since my firs experiences with Gutenberg when I was reasonably scarred that I also looked at WP alternatives, it evolved enormously. And your theme is a perfect addition to Guteneberg. Lerning the ecosystem I guess I could build cool things without child theme support untill something happens inn that direction. ??

    And about custom fonts? I see some predefined fonts in the new theme editor. How could I add my own hosted ones? I upload them, call the files in the header and ovveride in CSS what is outputted by the theme or is there a better way?
