Problem with latin-extendet Google Fonts

[karolwaszak]

Hi,

I have a problem with Google fonts. For the font “PT-Sans Narrow” Polish characters (latin extended) display properly only on the computer and not on the iPad. What’s funny, for the Helvetica font is opposite.

Hi,

This isn’t really an issue with the theme, it’s how those fonts were made and how different browsers handle them. Unfortunately, there isn’t something we can do about such things.

I’m not so convinced. Until now, I had no problem with that font in the other templates. It was enough to add “latin-ext” and on all devices and browsers Polish characters display them properly. After adding “<link href=’http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans+Narrow&subset=latin,latin-ext&#8217; rel=’stylesheet’ type=’text/css’>” to the header.php problem go away, but that’s not the point.

Ah sorry, misunderstood.

The Google Fonts selector in the theme doesn’t have that option for subsets.

But you don’t need to edit header.php (you’ll lose that when updating the theme). Instead, add it in the theme options as custom CSS:

@import url('http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans+Narrow&subset=latin,latin-ext');

I’m also having problems latin-ext fonts. Copied this to Custom.css field and nothing changes. The accented letters are still replaced by sans-serif font.

please help! You can check at:

@import url('http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ropa+Sans&subset=latin,latin-ext');

Hi,

As you can see, that font doesn’t have the character you’re using, not even in the latin extended subset: example.

Yes, you are right, I didn’t check carefu enough, I am sorry. But still the problem persists;

I have Open Sans Latin-Ext for regular paragraph text and Dosis Latin-ext for headers.

– putting the @import code into the custom.css as suggested doesn’t affect the site at all.

– putting it in header.php works only for Dosis but not for Open Sans. Yet this solution is inconvenient for future updates.

– as a result in body / paragraph text (Open Sans font) the extended are not displayed.

I have practically completed the site but still can’t show it my customer because of this fonts issue.

Usually I sort it out one way or another, but on this one I’m helpless…

P.S.
I would also recommend for your future work to implement the option of selecting the cyrillic / latin-ext subsets because a lot of people are not making pages in English and it takes you more support time…

Can you paste here the exact CSS you tried with those other fonts, in the Theme Options?

When you placed it in header.php, you placed it in the wrong spot; it must be inside the < head > tags, not above everything else.

Hi,
i have same problem with diacritics, but no only with google fonts. When i try set other font than Times (Helvetica or some of Google Web Font) some letters with accent (Ď, ť, ľ, …) appears in different font. http://www.stanica.sk/novanovasynagoga/

thank you

[Cosmin – SUPPORT]

That happens when the font you’re using does not have those characters.

I don’t think so. When i try use Source Code Pro from Google fonts (which have all these characters) my webpage doesn’t show that characters at all.

[Cosmin – SUPPORT]

It doesn’t show them on Chrome, it shows the fallbacks on Firefox, which is weird anyway.

Ed, any ideas?

I found this comment in another forum:

The problem is that changing the font used for the list, which is stored in JSON and loading using Webfont loader. And in that list, probably not links to files with Latin Extended. I noticed that a lot of people have problems with this on premium themes.

maybe it will help

True, the webfont loader doesn’t seem to play nicely with latin-extended fonts. We’ll see what we can do in the future to improve it. For now, you’d be best off to implement the fonts manually.
