    I have been searching Kriesi and have not been able to find clear-cut instructions on how to use a local, non-Google webfont with Enfold.

    I use it on my HTML homepage (mydomain.com/) using the standard CSS as such:

    @font-face {
    font-family: 'ZXKBold';
    src: url('../elements/ZXK-BOLD/ZXKBold.woff2') format('woff2'),
         url('../elements/ZXK-BOLD/ZXKBold.woff') format('woff'),
         url('../elements/ZXK-BOLD/ZXKBold.ttf') format('truetype');
}

    I would like to use this font for my headings in Enfold which is in a “blog” folder (mydomian.com/blog/) and also use an Enfold Google font for general paragraphs. I have an Enfold child theme set up.

    Could you provide the method to accomplish this mixed-source typography? Thanx!

    Hey ZacharyKnight,
    When you use the css method above to add a font, you will need to apply the changes to your elements via css. Such as:

    h1.entry-title {
 font-family: 'YOUR-FONT-NAME';
 font-size: 18px;
}

    Then all other elements will follow the built in Google fonts.
    Here is our latest documentation: Using custom fonts
    There you will also find how to add your custom font to the theme options.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Thank you. I tried to import my custom font (just a TTF file in a zipped folder) but I got a “Couldn’t add the font because the server did not respond” error each time … then tried with a Google font zip with same results. Not sure what I did wrong there.

    Will try the CSS route.

    Hi,
    Please attach a dropbox link to the font you want to use, I’ll test it on my localhost

    Best regards,

    Thank you, Mike …

    I have the font working using CSS but I’d really like to know the alternative method for use in future sites.

    Hi,
    Thanks for sharing your font, I tested adding to a folder and then zipping & zipping the font directly and uploading and in both cases it worked for me.
    I believe your issue may be that you don’t have the PHP ZipArchive Extension enabled, please check by going to Layerslider WP > Options > System Status > Server Settings
    see if you have a green mark next to PHP ZipArchive Extension

    If not please ask your webhost to enable.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Yep, that was it. I enabled PHP ZipArchive Extension through my host’s CPanel link, uploaded zipped TTF file via Enfold Import/Export, and it showed up in both fonts lists under General Styling. Pretty cool!

    Go ahead and close this post if you’d like … thanx again!
