    Hi I’m trying to use the google font ‘Hind”, I want to use this as light as possible. There is a light (300) version of it. I have implemented it in my functions.php, see below this.

    <?php
    
    /*
    * Add your own functions here. You can also copy some of the theme functions into this file. 
    * WordPress will use those functions instead of the original functions then.
    */
    
    add_filter( 'avf_google_heading_font', 'avia_add_heading_font');
    function avia_add_heading_font($fonts)
    {
    $fonts['Hind'] = 'Hind:300,400,700';
    return $fonts;
    }
    
    add_filter( 'avf_google_content_font', 'avia_add_content_font');
    function avia_add_content_font($fonts)
    {
    
    $fonts['Hind'] = 'Hind:300,400,700';
    

    In the theme-options I’ve set the <p> and the body to light, but that doesn’t change anything. When I change the weight in dev tools, it changes to 700, but not to 300. Any suggestions? I’ve added a link to my site in the private part.

    Regards,

    Erwin

    Hey erwin_m,

    Have you tried adding the font-weight directly within quick css?

    Hey,

    Thank you for the lightning fast respons!

    Just tried right now, same effect as in dev tools. No change at 300, a bolder text at 700.

    the code above isn’t complete:

    add_filter( 'avf_google_heading_font', 'avia_add_heading_font');
    function avia_add_heading_font($fonts)
    {
    $fonts['Hind'] = 'Hind:300,400,700';
    return $fonts;
    }
    
    add_filter( 'avf_google_content_font', 'avia_add_content_font');
    function avia_add_content_font($fonts)
    {
    $fonts['Hind'] = 'Hind:300,400,700';
    return $fonts;
    }

    Thank you for looking into it.

    Can you specify me what is missing?

    #929372

    down the second rule about content fonts:
    each of them needs the return $font

    return $fonts;
    }

    but you should know that if you like to have it only for some css rules – the font isn’t activated till you use it in enfold options dialogs.
    If you don’t want to use it as content font globaly – you can define it for example as h6 in advanced styling. this starts the activation of the font. the code above only makes it selectable in fonts choice.

    #929375

    I see, in the first part for the heading it is present, in the content-part it isn’t, also the closure tag is missing. That was a sloppy way of copying, in my functions-file they both are present.

    read the edit above i wrote something additional

    after that you can define css rules with font-family : hind

    #929385

    That’s the way I did it. In website styling I set it as global font for body-text. Cause this didn’t work, the font-weight, the font is indeed hindi, I also set it in advanced styling for the body-text and for <p>. That is correct I think?

    #929386

    or you can activate it via : (EDIT you do not need it if you have set it as content font in enfold options )

    add_action('wp_head', function() {
    ?>
      <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Hind' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <?php
    });

    Hey Guenter,
    We’re already diving into it, but as Jordan, I’m really thankful for thinking with me.

    Here you can find the site

    #929393

    if you have here on content font hind defined as the font to use – you don’t need to determine it again in quick css !

    #929395

    and do not use the rule “lighter”
    set font-weight to 300

    body#top {
        font-weight: 300;
        font-family: 'Hind', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
    }

    Edit – here because topic is closed !

    i think there has to be something wrong.

    I do activate the hind font locally on a test page –
    the 300er font-weight is a bit thinner than the 400.

    Compare the justified text-blocks under “Leistungen” and “Scanservice”

    I was trying to add an image with the font-setting, but snag-it was offline. When I was trying to reload the page I saw that the font for the body-text was set back to arial. I think I was so stupid to not save this setting, unbelievable. So stupid of me… It does work now.

    Thank you very much and I’m apologizing for taking your time.
