Hi Greg,

Unfortunately I don’t think it’s possible currently with the webfont loader – you would be best off including the fonts manually, which is easy enough to do through the custom css box in the theme options.

January…still no signs about fixing the issue…

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

Was added in the custom CSS box and then applied to all elements… h1, h2, etc nav .menu li… yet nothing changes. it’s frustrating…it’s been 6 months without any update regarding the Google Font subsets. Everytime there is a latin-ext char, the CSS breaks and falls back to the sans-serifs and destroys the overall appearance of the website.

Despite my efforts I can’t get my page public!

I guess you don’t realise how many of your customers use the latin extended character sets…

Hey gregers,

I already tried that months ago, thanks for your help.

The only solution that worked for me was to embed it directly inside the head tags with a plugin. If I called the google fonts through @import in the custom css box and tried to style the elements, it didn’t work…

I know that they use the Google fonts through Google web font uploader and they depend on Google/Adobe for bug fixes / updates, but sincerely this is not my nor anybody elses concern. It should work out of the box and shouldn’t require WordPress users (who mostly are not web developers), to ‘code’ it manually as they suggest (which for me worked only after weeks of desperate attempts and I have some fair CSS knowledge).

Hi Adrenaline22,

yes I agree, it should work out of the box… this solution what I wrote is working for some guys as you can read in mentioned post, for me it unfortunately wasn’t. I’ve tried several solution and the way chosen by You was the only way it works… so maybe it is more complicated than we think google/adobe hosting etc…

Hi guys,

We are hoping to have a solution for this in the near future, we’ve got a few ideas we want to try to make this much more user friendly.

I appreciate the feedback.
