    Hi I’ve purchase a proxima nova font set and would like to install it onto the theme for use. Apologies, I’ve tried searching for answers on the forum, but am still pretty confused by the steps needed to upload the font. Could you kindly help with the steps needed please? Thank you!

    Hey Jon!

    Thank you for using Enfold.

    You can use Font Face script. Refer to these links for more info:

    Hi Ismael,

    thank you for providing those links. So am I right to assume that I need to upload the fonts onto my server and specify the URL to point ot the font?

    Hi Josue, thank you for the link. I just have a question, do I need to upload my font files into my wordpress site first? Like upload it into media library? Apologies, I’ve never installed a custom font for wordpress before.

    Hi!

    Quoting the installation steps from fontsquirel“>wp-font-face:
    1. Upload font-face plugin folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
    2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
    3. Generate @font-face packs on fontsquirel
    4. Upload generated packages to plugin ‘/font/’ folder

    Best regards,
    Josue

    Hi Josue,

    Thank you for your help, and I’ve followed it. However, I wanted to use my proxima nova fonts throughout the site, so would like the option of choosing the installed font via the general styling font options. Is there a way I can upload the font so that is it available to select via the Avia admin panel? You help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi!

    Yes it’s definitely possible, add this to theme / child theme functions.php:

    add_filter( 'avf_google_heading_font',  'add_custom_font_to_styling_options');
add_filter( 'avf_google_content_font',  'add_custom_font_to_styling_options');
function add_custom_font_to_styling_options($fonts)
{
$fonts['Proxima Nova'] = 'Proxima Nova';
return $fonts;
}

    Cheers!
    Josue
