How can I use Google apis fonts

Post by terryfoster60 »

I have a textbox which I want to embed some google fonts.
Usually you can go to the html and hardode the link to a stylesheet for the font somehow.
Can this be done because I am finding it limited as WYSIWYG is not supporting fonts used outside the safe fonts list.

If I need html to directly enter this in the 'html code' behind the textbox then please can you tell me how

Thank you

Your information is not correct. WYSIWYG has built-in support for @font-face and Google fonts!

To use Google Fonts you can use the Google Font manager.

Thank you.
However I have been asked to use the Monotype Corsiva which is a Microsoft font.
I have tried the @font options and this does not work for me.

I test on a deparate machine which is defaulting to Times New Roman (I think) instead of monotype corsiva.

I am obviously doing something wrong.

Thank you

Did you convert the font to woff and/of woff2 format?
Do you have a license to use this font on a website?
