    Hi. My site has been successfully using Open Sans for a couple of years. I’d now like to move to the “Open Sans New” font to enable me to use the 300 weight variant of open sans. However, when I select this from the “General Styling”, the preview font shows a serif font, not open sans (inspector shows font-family:”Open+Sans”;). When viewing in incognito mode in Chrome, the front end OpenSans is not shown (inspector shows font-family:”open+sans”, HelveticaNeue, “Helvetica Neue”, Helvetica-Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;). However, as far as I can see, the font is displayed properly on android chrome.

    I have tried multiple browsers and computers, and also clearing caches. CSS, and javascript merging are disabled, and I do not have an active caching plugin. Can you help diagnose this problem?

    Thanks!

    Hey dngood,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    We reselected the new font and added the following css code to apply it to the headings tags.

    #top #wrap_all .all_colors h1, #top #wrap_all .all_colors h2, #top #wrap_all .all_colors h3, #top #wrap_all .all_colors h4, #top #wrap_all .all_colors h5, #top #wrap_all .all_colors h6 {
    font-family: 'Open Sans', 'HelveticaNeue', 'Helvetica Neue', 'Helvetica-Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif !important;
    font-weight: 300;
}

    Unfortunately, we haven’t yet figured out why the default setting is not working.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hi Ismael,

    Thanks for the reply. Knowing that I can do this, and override it in CSS is a start, but doing it this way does limit the use of using it ad-hoc within pages. Will you continue to look at this problem, or have you gone as far as you can?

    Edit – I added the quick CSS to the child style.css and although the code is shown correctly, I’m back to 400 shown in the headings, even though the inspector shows 300. I moved the code back to the quick css and see the same. I’m not sure what I have missed….

    David.

    Hi,

    Thank you for the update.

    We set the new font again from the General Styling > Fonts panel. It is working properly now. We’re still not sure why it doesn’t register the font correctly though.

    Best regards,
    Ismael
